Pakistan's special Kashmir envoy , Mushahid Hussain Syed ,
yesterday told the members of Atlantic Council , a top American think tank ,
" Pakistan would move towards China and Russia if its
views on Kashmir and India are not considered by the US .
US is no longer a world power. It is a
declining power . Forget about it "
Dangerously reminiscent of President Basher Assad of Syria inviting Russia , 2 years ago , to bomb his
own countrymen !
That made the Coalition ( USA / European Countries / Turkey
/ Jordan / Syria / Saudi Arabia etc ) to get itself invited on their own , to bomb
the Syrians !
All claiming to fight Al Quaida / ISIL /
Taliban / Kurds and a dozen other " terrorists " groups , operating
in Syria,
in the name of getting rid of dictator Assad ( USA led
coalition ) and getting
rid of ISIL ( Russia )
But , in the process killing thousands of innocent
Syrians and making millions of them refugees in neighboring countries
Neither Assad , nor USA / Russia , nor
those few surrounding Islamic Countries , have any love lost for the poor ,
suffering Syrians !
All have only their own " Strategic Interests
" to safeguard !
It seems Mushahid Hussain Syed , has not learned his lesson
from Syria , when he wants China
/ Russia to " intervene
" in Kashmir !
May be , he could not care less for, not
only the people of Kashmir
but even his own countrymen
!
May be he forgets that after 2 years of
bombing , neither USA has managed to get rid of Assad , nor has Russia managed
to eliminate ISIL !
May
be he forgets that China / Russia / USA , all want India and Pakistan to keep
fighting over Kashmir ( at low level , across LoC ) , and not become friends
May be he forgets that China / Russia /
America want Pakistan to
mortgage its economy
to them !
May be it is time for citizens of both India and
Pakistan to tell their politician to examine my 3 year old , following suggestion

Pakistani prime minister , Nawaz Sharif , yesterday suggested that America should get “ involved “
in solving the “ Kashmir Issue “
Expectedly , Indian politicians are all united ( at least on one
issue ! ) in telling USA :
“ Keep your hands off Kashmir . We don’t need third party
intervention to solve , what is essentially , our bilateral problem , as agreed in Shimla Agreement "
Except that no politician is willing to admit the harsh ground
reality that , after 60 years of LoC skirmishes
– and thousands of deaths , India and Pakistan have failed to resolve the issue
“ bilaterally “ !
Late Vasant Sathe was the only politician
who had the ( suicidal ? ) courage to say ,
“ Only practical solution is for both countries to accept LoC as the international
border “
And such a “ practical
solution “ can come about only through a third-party
mediation , without making either Indian or Pakistani politicians losing face !
Let us admit :
Ø Without a peaceful solution of Kashmir Issue , thousands of innocent
Indians living close to LoC will
continue to die
Ø Unlike Israel , India cannot engage in “ Hot Pursuit “ of the
terrorists into Pak-Occupied Kashmir , without risking an all-out Nuclear war
Ø Western Nations ( especially USA ) need Pakistan to fight
Al Qaida. Despite endless Indian protestations , billions of dollars
worth of American Aid
money to improve Pakistan’s economy will continue to fund terrorists in POK
Ø China is encircling India by establishing strong economic / military presence in
Tibet / Nepal / Myanmar / Sri-Lanka / Maldive / Pakistan etc
Ø Even Russian support to India is waning , as Russian economy
gets more and more integrated with EU
Let us ask ourselves :
“ Is it right to continue spending billions of rupees in
maintaining our military presence in Kashmir , when 400 million BPL Indians don’t get 2 meals a day ?
How long must 1.6 million Indian children ( below the age of 5 ) continue to die , year after year , due to starvation ? “
How long must 1.6 million Indian children ( below the age of 5 ) continue to die , year after year , due to starvation ? “
