The South Asia war drums are being beaten at a pitch louder than usual. It seems that the two arch-rivals, India and Pakistan, are preparing for a showdown. If a report of India Today is to be believed, then there are no apparent signs of recession in the border tension. As if the tension on LOC was not enough, the men in the shadow are making the atmosphere congenial for a deadly war in the Sub-continent. If the war breaks out, it will be a catastrophe for the entire region because both the countries are well-equipped with the weapons of mass destruction.
Indias premier intelligence agency, Intelligence Bureau (IB), is working very hard to convince the Indian government that Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is pressuring Sikh militants to revive the Khalistan Movement. The Sikh militants, as reported by the IB, are enjoying a safe haven in Pakistan for years. India Today, quoting a note of IB, has reported that these militants are under pressure to mount fresh operations in India. It is not clear if the IB report is engineered to give a reason to its government to pressure Pakistan which is already war-ravaged, having fought TTP extremists for nearly a decade. Pakistani authorities believe that TTP is fighting Pakistan as an Indian proxy.
If it is believed that the TTP is an Indian proxy, this development should be a matter of concern for the Pakistans security establishment. To engage Pakistan in a two-front war, TTP has already indicated that they are least interested in talks offer made by Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif.
In this backdrop, it is to be seen if LOC firing, IBs allegations and TTPs fresh posture of turning down a talks offer have sinister connections to push Pakistan into a two-front war.
