Dear Sir, Let me explain in as much detail as I can.
I believe that this is asymmetric. I believe, from my study of history, including military history, that this general strategy is now permanently embedded in the planning process of the Pakistani military: rather, in the planning process of the Pakistan Army. The first instance, the invasion of Kashmir by armed tribals, as distinct from the people's uprising in Sudanuti or the collusion that took place in Gilgit, might have been inadvertent, caused by the failure of the Pakistan Army to take its role as Jinnah had wished, due to its British leadership refusing to wage war against another British led Army. The second instance, Gibraltar, was certainly pre-planned; the third instance was actually Mizoram in the 60s, recorded both by your own general officer in his memoirs, and by American researchers who published their work complete with photos. The fourth, 1971, also had the identical characteristics; non-state actors, the Razakars, were used as force-multipliers by the regular Army. I have never intervened in the ghastly inquests on how many Bangladeshis were killed, and how many more were raped and killed, and have never interrupted the laughing refutation of these crimes offered by fanboys on this forum, on the grounds of an arithmetic of rape, but you need merely to add the numbers of those supernumeraries to get your arithmetic.
You will have noted that during this entire period, from 1947 to 1971, there was not a single instance of intervention in Pakistan by either India, or Afghanistan; Iran was actually an active ally during 1965. For twenty-four years, Pakistan had an absolute monopoly of this clandestine brutality.
I hope that the narration above explains the difference; it is not what you consider it to be, but what has been and always was, state and citizenry colluding from the word 'go' in going across the undeclared border to kill. What is happening today is that we are sinking slowly from our democratic and secular position to a radicalisation of the population, an involvement of the common people, and to leading them into the plain blind hatred and intolerance that had already been achieved by its neighbour 65 years before. Please consider if Jaish-e-Mohammed, or Harkat-ul-Ansar, or Lashkar-e-Toiba or any of their kind, would have been possible without, to use your harsh words, the involvement of the common people and the leading of them into plain blind hatred and intolerance.
You only have to read this forum and its posts and see the number of members who go crazy about baniyas, Hindus and Indians - presented in grotesque fashion as Endians, as Gangoos, and in a dozen ways that reek of hatred.
The tiny discrepancy between what was done so successfully in your country, and what is taking place in mine, is that in Pakistan, there is no circus before elections to feed their egos. Perhaps if you had elections, this, too, might have been a feature.
I read your statement with considerable sadness. If only this had occurred to those diabolically clever intriguers in your intelligence services earlier.
Without going into a long narration of bus tickets, cinema tickets, National Register documents, transcripts of wireless chatter and the rest, all submitted after painstaking collation nearly a hundred times, you can try to answer why an organisation located within Pakistan and well-known within Pakistan would claim credit for a ghastly act, and after this, why your establishment should need more proof.
Proof has been given nearly a hundred times (the figure has not been collated due to the futility of such an exercise). The election-oriented jingoism is irredeemably associated with one segment of Indian politics that is now in power. As for the rest, even when one of the terrorists has been brought to trial, there has been such obvious collusion to present a weak case and allow the court to thankfully release the suspects on the grounds of there being insufficient evidence to prosecute that the world has only looked on in wonder.
I watched the interview. The interviewer was trying hard to trap him into saying that the action taken was baseless, and he rambled on in a bureaucratic way making sure that every point was addressed.
@Joe Shearer I think ........... pot shouldn't call the kettle black. This is all that is to it.

Everyone has interests, if you or them are allowed to achieve those interests by any means ..... then stop crying if we do it too. The difference is we don't involve our common people and lead them into plain blind hatred and intolerance .... a situation where you have to do circus before elections to feed their egos.

Churning out lies again and again is easy ........ ain't that difficult ......... but the reality is one day all those lies get busted.
I read your statement with considerable sadness. If only this had occurred to those diabolically clever intriguers in your intelligence services earlier.
Anyways I am not impressed by your ex ambassador and Chairman of National Security Advisory Committee or something. The very evident flaw in his statements is when he says we did preemptive strikes .......... it means you had undeniable credible evidences and proofs ......... and it is no brainer to think that you won't have shared those proofs with others before taking action. However, the post "preemptive" strikes (violation of Pakistan's territorial boundaries) statements including this media talk are not supporting that.
Without going into a long narration of bus tickets, cinema tickets, National Register documents, transcripts of wireless chatter and the rest, all submitted after painstaking collation nearly a hundred times, you can try to answer why an organisation located within Pakistan and well-known within Pakistan would claim credit for a ghastly act, and after this, why your establishment should need more proof.
What I mean is if you had that undeniable proof(s) you wouldn't have chosen to stage a drama for domestic consumption and electoral gains ........ you would have shared all that with the world sympathetic to your claims (which you keep repeating in your defense). Just imagine something which no one including Pakistan's allies could have denied. But what happened is you tried staging a drama and thought it would go unanswered .... why because Afghanis think Pakistan is failed state.

That is why I said if it was me I would have left that ex ambassador feeling like an idiot.
