‘Indian hand can’t be ruled out’



LAHORE: Indian involvement in the suicide attack in Lahore on Wednesday cannot be ruled out, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has said. Visiting the blast site, Sanaullah said the attack was being thoroughly investigated to trace the mastermind. Meanwhile, Punjab Excise and Taxation Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman – on behalf of CM – said “such terror activities should not be politicised”, and called on the nation to unite against “anti-state elements”. app

WTF is wrong with these ministers..Ok fine India is doing it..but do your ******* job ie protect the citizens.**** ISI AND FIA if they can't protect their citizens. I am just sick of this entire blame game.WE SHOULD NEVER ACT LIKE INDIANS!

 

[BaburCM]

The Indians are doing it and we need to go after them. We need to create a war hysteria against India. We need to ready our people for a confrontation against evil India. The terrorists are being sponsored and trained by India from across the border. We shouldn't take that lightly and take out their terror consulates in order to stop the flow of terror in Pakistan. It's time to take out the source of terrorism.

The Indian whining and excuses behind placing the blame at the doorstep of the ISI were:

1. Attacks were 'sophisticated' and the perpetrators had 'characteristics' of being trained as SF's

2. Harm India's economy

Both of those explanations apply to the recent attacks we have seen in Lahore, which implies, using the logic of Indians and Indian apologists, that the Indian security services are behind the Lahore attacks - providing resources, intelligence and training - even if the perpetrators themselves were not Indians.

2. Harm India's economy

1. For a moment lets forget about India blaming Pakistani SFs for Mumbai attack, give one small/iota/inch of proof linking an Indian hand to recent attacks in Pakistan just like India did for Mumbai attack about the involvement of Pakistanis and your govt. had to accept the same to the world.

2. Pakistan's economy or its growth rate presently is nowhere near India's to talk about. So, there is no question of targeting your economy if India did that in the first place.

Whatever happened to the Indian hand behind the attack on police training facility or attack on SL team.

India provided absolutely nothing to show Pakistani institutions were involved in the Mumbai attacks, yet the accusations were aired by political and military leaders and civilians alike - and therefore I don't have to provide evidence either, to accuse Indian institutions of complicity in the Lahore attacks.

2. Pakistan's economy or its growth rate presently is nowhere near India's to talk about. So, there is no question of targeting your economy if India did that in the first place.

Doesn't matter - it was sufficient at the growth rates it was seeing to continue to improve the lives of Pakistanis, expand the nuclear program, and invest in conventional weapon systems to keep a sufficient conventional deterrent against India - and there is the Indian motive.

The Indian whining and excuses behind placing the blame at the doorstep of the ISI were:

1. Attacks were 'sophisticated' and the perpetrators had 'characteristics' of being trained as SF's

They were; which is the only reason why virtually every major intelligence agency started looking into the matter; the person who has done by far the most research on this particular attack is a USMC General who specializes in SF operations. His findings played a major role in the formulation of the aid policy to Pakistan, particularly in statements and conditions relating to the export of terrorism to India.

The Mumbai attacks and the ones that have taken place in Pakistan recently are highly dissimilar. Furthermore the connection between Pakistan and terrorism is very different from that of other nations in the world, including India. While I can certainly understand desire of many on this board to see/show both India and Pakistan as equals when it comes to the sponsorship of global terrorism, it is highly unlikely that this will be substantiated through a similar chain of findings that has put Pakistan in hot water.

I'm by no means saying that the Pakistani authorities shouldn't investigate the possibility of the "hidden hand" or what have you; but there is a point of diminishing returns on certain conspiracy theories, particularly when resources are short. I guess the same holds true for inane internet debates as well. The likelihood of Taliban reprisals for the military action in western Pakistan seem far, far more likely the motive behind these attacks.

There is a difference though. They got Ajmal Kasab and he confessed (can't remember if it was the 1st day itself) that he is Pakistani. Have our security forces been able to capture alive the guys that did the Sri Lankan attack and now this one? No.

To the layman in India that equals the Pakistani ISI and government has done it. Thats wrong thinking on their part. And if they wrongly made some accusations, we should not do the same mistake.

 

[Jihad]

Well, put that "Indian hand" up your *** and shut the **** up Mr. Rana Saunullah.
Back it up with proof or else don't make us look like a laughing stock.

Right, and that is why there has been absolutely no evidence implicating Pakistani institutions in the Mumbai attack.

The Mumbai attacks and the ones that have taken place in Pakistan recently are highly dissimilar. Furthermore the connection between Pakistan and terrorism is very different from that of other nations in the world, including India.

The attacks and the training of training of the terrorists is not dissimilar. If anything, the Lahore attacks are more sophisticated in that they have utilized multiple tactics. This particular one involved a suicide bomber in a vehicle packed with explosives, along with men who came out of the vehicle using grenades and small arms to create an opening for the vehicle to get to the target.

In addition the intelligence required to attack at the right time and place if the Colonel was the intended target as Hakimullah Mehsud claimed.

The attacks on the Sri Lankan team and the Police Academy indicated that the perpetrators had excellent training in small arms and tactics.

This does not even take into account the logistics, training, equipment and weaponry used by the TTP in FATA!

The only major distinction between the Indian attacks and the Pakistani ones is the logistics involved in transporting the men to Mumbai, and that too was nothing earth shattering or well planned - they got lucky and the Indian Navy and CG weren't as thorough.

I understand that everythign in India is soooooooo 'sophisticated' and soooo much more 'advanced' that only the ISI can be behind it - but other than India's own nutty conspiracy theories there is no evidence indicating Pakistani involvement.

I mean really, next you'll be arguing with me that 'my dad is stronger than yours' - that's all the substance you've offered so far in terms of 'Indian terrorist attacks are more sophisticated and advanced'.

Oh that was very much intended to be tongue in cheek to point out that the Indian accusations were flawed and unsubstantiated.

 

[MilesTogo]

I suggest GOP should immediately deploy F-16's to take out all the Indian counsulates in Afghanistan.

 

[sergente rehan]

Who is funding and providing weapons to all these terrorists against which we are fighting?

don't tell me that it's ISI which is providing indians rifles and weapons to these terrorists now!

Obviously indians are fully involved in all this and maybe there is also the hand of Israel in all this....we are enemy there is nothing shocking in all this!

Why don't the Army just bombed also those indian consulates on Pak-Afghan border...also we have the right to do surgical strikes to crush terrorism!!!

Sort of like how India took out all the alleged Pakistani camps and consulates after Mumbai?
