Dailytimes.pk: Jihadists launch hate-India campaign in city
LAHORE: Anti-peace jihadists have launched a hate campaign against India across the provincial metropolis to sabotage the ongoing peace process between the two countries and convince the people that India deserved a holy war no matter what they do to help Pakistan or how far would they extend the hand of friendship towards us.
India has recently supported Pakistans bid for the United Nations Security Councils non-permanent seat, which, according to the Pakistani ambassador to the UN, Abdullah Hussain Haroon, would not have been possible without the support of India.
India not only voted for Pakistan in election but also campaigned for it despite the fact that the closest allies in the war on terror campaigned against the country. In a recent interview with Daily Times, Haroon said, We cannot have thought about winning this election without the Indian support and Pakistan owed to India for this nice favour.
The recent diplomacy between the Pakistani and Indian envoys in the UN as well as multiple meetings between the heads and ministers of both the states have taken both countries very close to each other for the first time in the history, he said.
Both the governments even decided liberlise trade and visa policy after recent meetings, and the dream of free travelling across the borders seems materialising.
The rights activists believe that this kind of negative campaigning against India was not possible without the support of the extremist elements in Pakistani establishment because even wall chalking was a crime across the city and it was weird that an organisation was mentioning its name after writing inflammatory slogans. The slogans were written on different walls, mainly in Model Town and canal areas. The slogans urge citizens to launch a jihad against India. One of the slogan translated into English reads, India deserved only one treatment; al-jihad, al-jihad.
Another slogan put on the canal bridge linking the Jinnah Hospital read, We have only one relation with India. The relation of hate and revenge. The Jamatud Dawa Model Town chapter has claimed responsibility for the wall chalking, and the groups name has been mentioned at the end of every slogan.
It is also strange that JuDs name has been used with jihadi slogans because the organisation claims to have no ties with banned terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT), yet it comprises all of its (LT) operatives and now they are also talking the way LT used to do.
The United Nations and the government of Pakistan banned LeT after massacre of Indians in a carnage allegedly launched by its operatives in Mumbai on November 26, 2008. Leadership of LeT was working in Pakistan, thereafter, as leadership of JuD, which claimed to be only a charity organisation having nothing to do with jihad or violence against India. The Punjab government appreciated the JuD for its charity work, and had given the groups a few million rupees from the provincial budget for their services during 2005 earthquake, 2010 floods and other disasters that hit the country.
Lahore District Coordination Officer Ahad Khan Cheema, and PML-N senator and the Punjab government spokesperson Pervaiz Rasheed abstained from commenting on the issue of wall chalking and jihadi slogans, when contacted.
