Tension is still running very high between India and Pakistan and despite of the efforts by the well wishers, the passions are running very hot and things are volatile int he world’s most populous region. Things are also not very much clear and the hysteria has engulfed everything.
The games of deception played by India for too long, the refusal to deal with terror while insisting before a watchful world that we are indeed doing so, especially in the Kashmir region, and the India’s inability to tackle the homegrown terrorism from the Hindu terrorists in Gujarat, Orissa and Nagaland and host of other places has put the region at fire.
This has landed Pakistan today in a truly dangerous place. From across our eastern border, India continues to warn in the wake of the Mumbai attacks that Pakistan act against the elements behind it, or face action.
Pakistani government should remind India that Pakistan was a responsible nuclear state and it should not take Pakistan’s desire for peace as a weakness. Pakistan should keep asking for the proofs and then act accordingly. The fact is that so far India has not handed any evidence to Pakistan or to Interpol.
Pakistan should make clear to India and to the world that the offer of cooperation in investigations into the Mumbai attacks was still there and if concrete evidence was provided by India, Pakistan was ready to proceed against any of its nationals under its own law.
