Pak terror can cause Pak-India nuclear war

Jagan Nath Dhar Editor Koshur Samachar

If terrorism continues in Pakistan, at the present scale, it can lead to a nuclear war between that country and India. That is the view of defence experts, nuclear scientists and think tanks of the East and the West.

 

China, Islamabad's strongest ally, has pointed out its finger at Pakistan as a source of global terror. Beijing has released details of close links between Pakistan and terrorists who launched attacks in China's eastern province of Xinjiang. In Washington a top Pentagon official, James Miller, has told to the US Senate Armed Services Committee that Pakistan and India have a history characterised by "animosity, mistrust and conflict. He warned that there is a potential of nuclear exchange between the two countries if Islamabad continues to support terror groups.

 

Mr. Miller added "Support by elements of Pakistan's military and intelligence services for violent extremist organisations targeting India has the potential to result in military confrontation that could rapidly escalate to a nuclear exchange"

 

According to the US Defence expert: "Current efforts at dialogue have yielded few concrete results on the core security issues, especially regarding the resolution of territorial disputes"

 

Meanwhile, disturbing news are emanating from Pakistan. The Pak military continues to nurture military groups as part of the decades' old strategy of using proxies against India. This work has reached a scale that some trained terrorists feel the policy is an incorrect one. One such former militant commander has said he was supported by Pakistan's military for 15 years until he quit that work" Giving details of the Pak military's support to terrorism, the former militant commander said that militant groups, like the Lashkar- e-Taiba, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen and Hizb-ul- Mujahideen, are being run by religious leaders; and the Pak Army is providing these militant groups training, strategic planning and protection. He added:

 

"There are two bodies running this affair - mullahs and retired generals. He named a number of former military officials. One of them is Major General Zaheer- ul-Islam Abbasi." The militant leader explained that he saw General Abbasi several times - once at a meeting of Taliban and Pakistani militant leaders in 2001 and twice in a place namely Mir Ali, the centre for foreign militants in Pakistan's tribal area. He went on to say that in the 2001 Taliban meeting several retired ISI officials were present. These included Brigadier Sultan Amir. The military is supporting militants because it wants them as tools against India. He explained that "Pakistan can, easily, kill Pak Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud but it has chosen not to do so. The Pak Government is not interested in eliminating them."

 

Concluding, the militant leader said that the work is so detestable that thousands of trained militants have turned against the Pak military.

 

Jamaat-ud-Dawa leader Hafiz Saeed wants to create a setup that would completely finish off India. A former CIA officer and now a senior fellow in Seban Center at Brookings Institute, Bruce Riedel, says: "Saeed advocates the restoration of the Mughal empire and the destruction of India." He adds: "Let's technology, as laid out by Saeed, goes far beyond recovering Kashmir for Pakistan. He seeks the creation of a Muslim caliphate over the entire sub- continent."

 

Pak terrorist camaraderie is trying to acquire nuances of the nuclear power. The international community is worried over the development. If Pak terrorists attain their objective there is a fair chance of their launching a nuclear attack on India. As a result large populations of Delhi, Srinagar, Islamabad and the nearby areas would get annihilated.
