U.S Arms aid to Pakistan, India’s security at risk?
(Madan Menon Thottasseri)
U.S may be more concerned about the collaboration of the terror network in Afghanistan with local insurgent groups in Afghan-Pak boarder and housing training camps that are full-grown by expediently adapting into small and mobile clusters to get unnoticed by security forces. Reports on these camps had captured news headlines right from last year when the U.S investigation Officers probed the accused New York terror suspect Najibullah Zazi, the Afghan expatriate who had fled to Pakistan and camped at Peshawar in the North-West frontier for undergoing training on weapons and explosives. The most recent U.S trepidation may be due to the Pak involvement of terror attacks targeting America and England as per the indictment by the DoJ (Dept. of Justice).
At the same time U.S cannot close the eyes to the perennial security issue India is entangled into with Pakistan, the epic-centre of the terrorism in the world. No tactics of international politics and diplomacy could won the terrorists burgeoning out of Pakistan soil one after the other when the terror kingpins are privileged to get security cover and even honored by the Political democracy including Legislature, Executive and judiciary, which are under the clemency of joint consortiums of military and mafia.
At this time if U.S is empowering Pakistan with massive arms aid ostensibly for combating terrorism is total absurdity which is to be condemned. There is no meaning in taking it lightly by the Defense Minister A.K.Antony just to express concerns of the nation while exchanging pleasantries with the visiting U.S Chairman of Joint Chief of Staffs- Admiral Mike Mullen. The U.S aid un-balanced to the susceptibility to Taliban attacks will have an easy mishandling against India! The very purpose signing a comprehensive counter-terror initiative between India and U.S will go in vain.
