Backlash over ‘pro-India’ remarks of Nawaz

Backlash over ‘pro-India’ remarks of Nawaz

Without naming Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed and Maulana Masood Azhar's militant organisations - Jamaat-ud-Dawah and Jaish-e-Mohammad -operating in the country with impunity, Sharif said: "Militant organisations are active in Pakistan".

Speaking to Pakistan's Dawn daily on Saturday, May 12, former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharief suggested that his country was behind the deadly 26/11 Mumbai attacks that killed 164 people and injured over 300 others. "President Putin has said it. President Xi has said it,".

"We have isolated ourselves". He indicated that his country should look into why its narrative that it had been fighting terrorism had not been accepted by the worldwide community "despite sacrifices". Afghanistan's narrative is being accepted, but ours is not.

In an exclusive interview to news agency ANI, he said, "It is true that terrorists are trained in Pakistan, a solution to this problem is that India should invade PoK and make it a part of the country".

With the Pakistani general elections slotted for this year, and in the backdrop of Sharif's own fall from political power at the hands of the judiciary, his remarks are being seen as an attempt to malign the country's institutions.

US President Donald Trump had accused Pakistan of giving nothing to the US but "lies and deceit" and providing "safe haven" to terrorists. She further added that the confession by Sharif was not "shocking" for the Indian government. This has to stop.

The relations between the military and the Sharif government were at its lowest in October 2016 when the latter told the former to act against home-grown militant groups or face worldwide isolation. The trial of 2008 Mumbai terror attack remains stalled in a Rawalpindi anti-terrorism court with the government recently removing the public prosecutor from the case in an alleged abrupt fashion. Its mastermind, Hafiz Saeed, has been roaming freely in Pakistan. The attack killed almost 166 people, including foreign nationals after 10 Pakistani gunmen spent three days spraying bullets and throwing grenades around city landmarks.

After questioning Ajmal Kasab, one of the 10 attackers who was captured alive, India has furnished a considerable amount of evidence to Pakistan in 2009. Another commander of LeT, Aris Hammad, confirmed that LeT is regularly sending militants across the border to create disturbances in the Kashmir valley.
