The last few days have been witness to a series of flip flops on the part of Pakistan regarding the detention of Laqvi, the mastermind behind the Bombay blasts of '93 and for whom. India has been on the lookout all these years.
One was under the impression that the Pakistani judiciary was with the truth since the time it had crossed swords with Musharraf, when he wielded power. For it to rule against the detention of the dreaded terrorist and to grant him bail can only be viewed as an act of defiance and a move to prick India. What gives credence to the doubt is that the court's decision comes in the wake of the brutal terrorist attack on innocent school children at Peshawar just a fortnight ago - that country can go through any problem but India must suffer. Period!
The Pakistani establishment had vowed to go after the perpetrators of terror then. And now, comes this condemnable act on their part to let Laqvi go free! Why don't they realise, at least now, that they'd get singed in this diabolical game? They seem to want to get at India at the slightest pretext.....jealousy at our progress and prosperity can't be the continuing basis of their foreign policy!
And yes, if Pakistan really wants to compete with India it must be ready to carry out the following:-
(a) Depoliticise their armed forces and send them to their barracks.
(b) Embrace genuine democracy
(c) The politicians must get off their anti-India mindset and endeavour to provide good governance
(d) Stop comparing itself with India because the two are incomparable and
(e) All those who blame India for the dismemberment of Pakistan and the birth of Bangladesh in
'71, must get their history right in that it was their politicians and the armed forces that had
provoked the then, east Pakistanis by their years of misrule and exploitation! To take 'revenge'
on India is the silliest excuse that a Pakistani harbours and it must also clearly understand that
it can never win a war against India...its nuclear arsenal notwithstanding!
By carrying out all the actions mentioned above, it will become a genuine democracy and then acquire the capability to compete with India on the path of development!
Tailpiece.
Mom was in bad shape by sunset. She seemed to be out of her depth and totally disoriented. The neurophysician, next door, had made a house call and put her on antibiotics....her medical diary that we always carry while on the move enabled him to take the right decision. Her urine sample was offered for a 'culture' before 2300h at the nearby path lab and blood tests will be carried out tomorrow.
