India’s Blame-Game says pakistan

Going by traditional belligerence – India has of-late hideously chosen an awful course of labeling accusations against Pakistan for the tragic episode of Mumbai – sans any proof or evidence.

Such an act by the New Delhi rulers – more specifically by the India media – has once again placed the peoples’ aspires for peace in the region in peril.

As is indexed in the history – it is not the first time that India has opted such a path of hostility towards Pakistan. Historians stand witness that as and when any frightful incident occurs in India – it instantly gets involved in customary blame-game. With such a mindset – in the past, India surfaced an eyeball-to-eyeball scenario at borders and that too without any legitimate reason. Yet, eventually it was left with no option but to get it reversed.

And, now soon after the Mumbai catastrophe – as was largely apprehended, Indians again started raising accusing fingers towards Pakistan. As per their habit of jumping to conclusion on the very first day of such tragedies – Indian authorities started leveling wild allegations against Pakistan referring to the minute details of how it happened as if everything was fully in their knowledge.

Amid such a situation – tension is still seemingly rising between the two nuke neighbors – in an apparent action replay of the threatening posture – which India adopted subsequent to attacks on its Parliament in 2001 pushing two countries closer to a cataclysmic war.

The speed with which the Indians are making disclosure after disclosure regarding identity of the attackers and how they approached Mumbai clearly shows that New Delhi was bent upon misusing the occasion to malign Pakistan and to distort its image.

The very fact that the militants themselves disclosed their identity as Mujahideen from Deccan and also made certain demands exposes claims of the Indian authorities who are giving external dimensions to a purely internal problem of their country.

The tragedy has highlighted the ground reality that there was growing anger over India’s oppressive policies against minorities and they are giving vent to their annoyance in violent mode and manner to draw attention of the comity of nations to their plight.

Yet, India is trying to mislead the global public opinion to make Pakistan a scapegoat – which can not be tolerated and shall not be allowed to occur. We feel that it is an apt time that India should mend its’ horrendous approach by avoiding blame game that would raise the regional temperature – which would not be in the interest of any-one.

Instead of getting engaged into any futile exercise of accusations – India must pay heed to the bona fide demands of its people, majority of whom is living far below poverty-line – facing toxic fiscal dilemmas.

Truth and realism manifests that peace, progress and prosperity – surfaces through an affluent society, backed by a proper fiscal system. Thus, why not to lay a solid focus on such a vision – instead of getting engaged into wastrel scuffles – with useless tricks and tactics?
