Sad to say, most of your argument are fantasy talk. There is little logic in them and, more importantly, no evidence. However, let me indulge you in the hopes you can become rational in your analysis of Pakistan, just as you are when it comes to India.
And one should also wonder why OBL stayed in Pakistan,totally undetected??
Further proves my point that Pakistan does not have any designs for Afghanistan when there are intelligence lapses at home.
Logic says,both are Pakistani proxy.So instead of handing over,Pakistan invited them in their home,so that this could go on and on and on.Well,OBL and Mullah Omar,both died in Pakistan,so did Mullah Mansoor.And USA was alleging the same since 2001,doesn't they?
Correction: Fantasy talk.
In reality, Mullah Mansoor was entering Pakistan from Iran where his family lives. Unfortunately, Pakistan has allowed Afghan refugees to settle anywhere they like rather than restricting them to specific camps which is how most countries, including Iran, have dealt with Afghan refugees. Putting them in a camp is harsh so we choose to deal with Afghans more humanely. This has meant we have lost track of thousands of Afghan refugees. It has also led to Afghan refugees obtaining fake IDs and travelling on Pakistani passports. The case of Mullah Mansoor is a mere reflection of this reality.
The fact that OBL was in Pakistan highlights what I said earlier, we simply do not have any designs for Afghanistan when there are intelligence failures at home. And it was a intelligence failure since US has not put forth any evidence that OBL had links with the state or even military. If US had found links, it would be plastered in every newspaper. There simply isn't any.
As for Mullah Omar and his death in Pakistan, according to Ministry of Foreign Affairs figures, some 90% of Afghans who seek medical treatment abroad travel to Pakistan. A lot of them get free medical treatment. In fact, some months back it became a big issue when Imran Khan said a Taliban leader had written a letter to thank him for medical care he received at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital where a lot of poor people get free cancer treatment. Imran Khan had no clue, he didn't know the Taliban leader, he was shocked as everyone but that is the ground reality. Again, Mullah Omar getting medical treatment is no different than thousand of Afghans who get medical treatment across Pakistan. No one becomes suspicious if an Afghan walks into a hospital in Pakistan seeking treatment because its so common. Worse still, Mullah Omar is a Pashtun. The second biggest ethnic group in Pakistan is Pashtun. How does one differentiate? You can't.
And Pakistan is taking out TTP,don't they?But they're leaving everything else untouched.Haqqanis,Talibans,LeTs to name a few.I wonder,how come Pakistan misses that big?
TTP leadership is based in Afghanistan. Taliban do not need Pakistan when they control huge territory in Afghanistan. Perhaps they may have used Pakistani territory in the past due to our policy of appeasement and lack of action. That gave space to TTP and surely to many others. This is no longer the case since
Operation Zarb-e-Azb however the impression continues. It takes time for perceptions to change. In fact, Sen. John McCain was quite impressed when he visited North Waziristan.
Logic says,Pakistan doesn't want to stabilize relationship with neighbors.Like Papa USA,they do like instability.But unlike USA,they can't make benefit on long term.Because they lack capability that is required.Pakistan knows,any strong afghan govt will kick a dust storm so big,that it'll be a big problem for Pakistan.Till it gets engaged in civil war and power tussels,they can't take the fight to Pakistan itself.
So you accept Pakistan lacks capability? Now you only have to go a step further and realise that not only do we lack capability, we don't have any designs for Afghanistan, aggressive or otherwise.
Now some wonders,how India will gain from it??India likes that as well.The defeat of Taliban,or fall of Afghanistan govt,both will divert Pakistani hordes in Kashmir.rather keep it fluid,let the fighting happen in Afghan-Pakistan border than India-Pakistan.Thats our motto.We'll keep us engaging,will train ANA,gives them hardware,but only that much,that will keep this cycle going,but towards a tilt to Afghan Govt.
No comments. This is your assessment of India so you know better.
Everyone knows,Afghanistan will grind their way to victory,every govt does.Only thing that'll ensure Pakistan doesn't support Taliban with PA and PAF(covertly) is USA/NATO presence.Deny them that space and Govt will handle this jehadi lots easily..
Speculation. The reality on the ground is quite different.
And Kulbhusan Yadav??Really??I mean,Really???Thats the best you've got??
Say hello to poster boys...
Kulbhusan was a navy guy,and probably,a spy too.But what about these lot??And something like 50000+ of them are fighting in Afghanistan and in Kashmir.What about them as well??Good relationship..pffftt..
There is one key difference here. Kulbhushan Yadav is an active Indian serviceman while none of the poster boys have anything to do with Pakistan Army. As for the "50000+" number, its not based on reality. However, as I said earlier, there is a huge trust deficit between Pakistan and India. That's the reality.
To sum it all up, the point I've tried to make is that your analysis of India is more realistic than your analysis of Pakistan because you imagine there is more when there really isn't. It is no different than people who imagine 9/11 was a conspiracy. However, hard this may be for you to believe Pakistan never had much control over Afghanistan and neither do we have any now.
Those who have power in Kabul will never accept Pakistan. They will consistently churn out anti Pakistan propaganda.
Pakistan should try to show Afghans the positives she has done but Kabul does not care.
Precisely my point.
By publishing such an opinion piece, we are providing conformation to average Afghan that Pakistan doesn't want them to succeed which is what all the anti-Pakistan propaganda in Afghanistan says. We are essentially playing into the hands of anti-Pakistan elements in Afghanistan. The reality is Pakistan has no ill will towards Afghans or Afghanistan. We treated Afghan refugees like our own. We simply need to show the good work we are doing, which as I said there is plenty.
