Boat incident tears off India's veil of being peaceful: defence minister

[Saifullah Sani]

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif took notice on Wednesday of reports that India’s DIG Coast Guard admitted he ordered a Pakistani boat to be blown up, saying that the incident “tore off India’s veil of being a peaceful country of the region.”
“…Pakistan’s desire for peace and coexistence in the region must not be seen as our weakness. International community must also take notice of the incident which is tearing off India’s veil of being a peaceful country of the region,”a statement released by the Defence Ministry stated.
Earlier in the day, Indian media quoted DIG Coast Guard BK Loshali’s saying, “We blew off that Pakistani boat. We have blown them off….I was at Gandhinagar and I told at night, blow the boat off”.
Asif took notice of the news report, claiming that it reveals the false claims of Indian Defence Minister Monohar Parrikar regarding sad incident of blowing up a Pakistani boat on the night of December 31, 2014.
“The revelation … proves that the Indian Defence Ministry and defence minister of India were putting up a false story,” the statement added. “Loshali has contradicted his government’s statement by saying that Pakistani boat was attacked by Indian Coast Guard.”
New Delhi had claimed the crew of a Pakistani fishing boat blew up and sank their vessel after trying to evade capture at the hands of the Indian navy in a high-speed chase at sea last year.
Asif argued that India has violated international rules and disregarded the humanitarian considerations, adding apart from killing four innocent people on-board, India has been involved in several killings of Pakistanis, including the Samjhota Express incident.
India under pressure to explain who blew up boat
The Indian government is under pressure to explain what caused a Pakistani fishing boat to explode, killing four people on board in mysterious circumstances, after a senior Indian coast guard official said it was deliberately targeted.
Loshali’s comments contradict the Indian government’s version that the boat laden with explosives was intercepted by the coast guard because it was planning an unspecified illegal transaction and the people on board set it on fire, causing it to explode.
The development comes as India and Pakistan’s foreign secretaries are set to resume talks next month for the first time since May.
The two nuclear-armed nations engaged in their worst cross-border violence in a decade in October, capping a year when reconciliation had looked more likely and then faded.
Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar said the government stood by its record of events and would consider taking disciplinary action against Loshali.
“We stand by what we said, the issue is over,” Parrikar said.
“We will take action against the person, if required, if he has made the statement.”
At the time of the incident, the Indian coast guard said it chased the Pakistani boat off India’s western coast for almost an hour and it fired warning shots before it stopped.
The coast guard then said the crew hid below deck and set the boat on fire, which caused an explosion.
Riffat Masood, a spokesperson for Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry, said it was investigating the incident.

Just the media? Have you seen the comments form the Hintudvadis on various threads here on the boat incident? Even in the presence of the video, they are not accepting. This is the hight of بےشرمی . There was after all a reason why Quid e Azam left the congress and said "Hindus are incorrigible", i.e. ہندو ناقابل اصلاح ہے۔.

There are hundreds of Pak fish boats come often in to our water for fishing .We didnt blew even a single of them.
So why did we stop that particular boat ?
Because we have actionable intelligence.

But a man having common sense can see that the boat was not attavked rather fire itself by crews.There was no problem.in their structures.

This officer will face indisciplinary action .

They wont.They knows it was a failed terrorist ops.If they goes to ICJ we will release entire evidences about that .Would be another face palm movement of Pakistan.
I have doubt whether GoI is planning for it.Pak.leaders also have that doubt.That is why they dont comment about it except that Asif

No, not because you had 'credible' intel but because Obama was visiting and your government wanted to stage a drama. This is the history of your respective governments. Some 35 innocent Sikhs were murdered by Indian troops and blame was dumped on the Kashmiri separatist just before Clinton visited India in year 2000. Later, Clinton had to say that it was his visit that resulted in the loss of 35 (Sikhs) + 5 (Kashmiris) innocent lives.

This is 2015 not 2000.This was US President second visit.Your so called freedom fighters killed our innocent sikhs and then released fake allegations.

India didnt need an attention from US.We have confidence in our power and Pakistan is not a centre of our foreign policy not any more.We didnt even mention Pakistan in our meeting.

You Hindutvadis are shameless deniers, even when the video clips are slammed at you, you still deny. BTW, what America thought about the Sikh massacre is right there in the image and further in the given link, and the US congress definitely did not accept your version of the story.

 

[vsdave2302]

So he accept that India had an impression of a peaceful country till boat incident.

I will be very very happy if the vail is teared. We have sufferred a lot and have taken some decissions in past to maintain this pseudo Images of Secularism and peacefull country. Pakistan used to think that India shall for ever practice a defensive strategy since it is is a peace loving country. So it kept inflicting terror on India. India become a little offensive and pragmatic after Bombay.
