Charges of terrorism and Indian capers
Second, the disclosure that two persons included in the list of most wanted fugitives that India claims are hidden in Pakistan were in fact Indians living in India that has exposed the cavalier attitude of the authorities in New Delhi in waging the black propaganda against Pakistan. One has to appreciate the sense of timings though; the Indian dossier resurfaced at the height of Pak-US fracas, following the US operation in Abbottabad, when scorching criticism in the formidable US- Western media was pushing Pakistan to the wall. For instance, Wazhul Kamar Khan, at serial 41 of the dossier, turned out to be a resident of Thane - a Mumbai suburb - who was already accounted for on the terrorism roster of India. Wazhul was arrested in 2003 over charges of terrorism, but later on granted bail. He was flabbergasted to find himself in the dossier. I was born and brought up in Mumbai. I regularly present myself in the court according to the bail conditions. I have never visited Pakistan; none of my family member has, he told the media.
Within days of the Wazhul disclosure, the Indians had to eat crow once again when it was discovered that another fugitive included in the dossier was inmate of a jail in Mumbai. Feroz Abdul Khan, alias Hamza, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai blast case was arrested by the authorities in February last year and he was currently under investigation by the CBI, even as Pakistan was being asked to hand him over to the Indian authorities. New Delhi had got the Interpol to issue a red corner notice for Feroze, which had not been cancelled in the wake of his arrest.
The list of fugitives, who India insists have been hidden across the border, has been a tool of New Delhis coercive diplomacy against Pakistan for quite some time now. With varying numbers - additions made according to the flow of events - and without providing any proof of their complicity, the Indian leadership has been claiming that these persons are required in India over terrorism charges, while accusing Pakistan of providing them patronage. This stumbling block emerges whenever there is a talk of any joint anti-terror forum to address the menace of terrorism in South Asia.
Many a dossier listing names of terrorists have been handed down to Pakistan at the highest levels of political and bureaucratic interaction to push it into the corner. The recent exposures of embarrassing blunders made by India in compiling the list of terrorists it demands from Pakistan, has exposed the nonchalance with which the issue is treated by India. A pattern has emerged whereby despite a very visible footprint of Indias indigenous terrorism, all incidents of terrorism in India evoke engineered connections with Pakistan that are enthusiastically taken up by the Indian establishment duly supported by a pliable media. Glaring mistakes have made the dossiers of terrorists forwarded by New Delhi to Islamabad null and void and merely an antic to carry on with the charade of propaganda offensive against Pakistan.
