Death by default & by design

Death is a natural end to all terrorists. It’s by default & also by design. The short life cycle of this inhuman, dysfunctional & criminal profession is a personal choice of few rogues who choose it. Burhan Wani happens to be one of them. Only that it was literally a juvenile choice into a barbaric profession at 15 years of age. His life ended at 22, even before it had actually started. That’s a natural outcome of the choices he made. None can be blamed.

One cannot be in the business of killing innocents & expect not to be killed in action. Unbelievably but not surprisingly, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaaz Sharif wishes to recognise him as a ‘leader of Kashmir’. However, the rest of the sane world recognises him as a terrorist and a manufactured product of Pakistan against India.

I wonder what will Pakistan PM wish to call the five young men of the recent Dhaka terror attack, in which 20 people were massacred! Leaders of Bangladesh? Is it by a very unique definition invented by a rogue state & its prime minister that from here on terrorists will be recognised as leaders & terrorism as leadership?

It’s about time Pakistan makes an official declaration of its definition of terrorism to the world. This rogue state is not an indirect promoter of terror; it’s a direct contributor of all pain & suffering in the world today. Unfortunately, the world is downplaying this evil state’s legacy of manufacturing terror & exporting it across the world.

US policy on terror is a hog wash and its declaration of ‘war on terror’ a joke. If they don’t contain Pakistan and its elected government from directly abetting and encouraging terror, how do they succeed in their proposed ‘war on terror’? If any other head of state in this world could have made a statement declaring a terrorist as a war hero or a leader, it would have been an international blasphemy on terror in the world we live in today.

However, the world continues to ignores this rogue state which is clearly the largest terrorist incubator of the world & continues to produce and harbour terrorists. This criminal neglect and unwarranted legitimacy to Pakistan in the international committee of nations highlights the duplicity of the terror watch dog institutions of the western world, hypocrisy of United States, opportunism of China & of course totally dysfunctional Security Council of United Nations. It will be interesting to watch how long will this staged, muted drama continue, even after the mayhem has reached their own shores.

India is the largest democracy in the world and is a peace loving nation. In the entire history of pre & post independent India, this nation has never preempted a war nor occupied other nation’s or their territories in show of strength. However, in few wars thrust in it, India swiftly defeated its enemy & stuck like lightening. That’s the deftness of defence this nation has. India respects international pacts and agreements, it respects multilateralism& is in no competition with any nation to be a hegemonistic global super power.

Kashmir is an integral part of India. No contest on this issue is ever possible. This issue is non-negotiable at any level. In fact Indian government must immediately initiate an international push for repossession of the illegally occupied Kashmir by Pakistan [POK]. As per the original instrument of accession, entire Kashmir belongs to the Indian Union. India has full capabilities to protect its homeland, borders & integrity of it’s Union of States. There should be no doubts.

Some minor skirmishes underway in Kashmir in reaction to killing a rogue terrorist Burhan Wani by armed forces, will have be contained with an iron fist. Pakistan is actively misleading & misguiding few youth of this Indian state to indulge in self destructive, divisive & deviant actions. This consistent deplorable pattern of promoting terror in the neighbourhood will certainly back fire on Pakistan, sooner than later.

Indian military & homeland forces are highly efficient and capable to teach the indigenous & foreign rogues a bloody lesson. Terrorist Burhan Wani’s death should be a lesson to few misguided youth of Kashmir , who are driven to romanticise terrorist role models.

Terrorists can never be freedom fighters. Real freedom fighters do not snatch freedoms of others to achieve their own. Neither Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaaz Sharif nor his stooges in Pakistan military can never understand this, as they have never valued the freedoms of even their own nationals.
