The foundation of Pakistan was laid on jhooth( Lie) of two nation theory and it is carrying on with the lie for the past 78 years. Entire political, social, economic, diplomatic and strategic system of the said country is based upon fibs, lies and delusions, therefore most appropriate nomenclature to address the said country is Jhoothistan.
My personal first encounter with the lies manufactured by Pakistan happened during the war in the year 1965 between Bharat and that country when I was less than 5 years old. My family was living in Amritsar, a border town, in a locality named as Shaheed Bhagat Singh Colony.
During wartime in the month of September 1965, curfew was imposed in the town and only source of information used to be radio. Apart from All India Radio, Radio Pakistan’s Lahore station was constantly broadcasting war related news.
One day during the war when my grandfather was listening to the news, Lahore station of Radio Pakistan started claiming that the brave soldiers of the Pak army have reached Amritsar and have taken out vintage clock from Hall gate as a souvenir. My house was not even a kilometer away from Hall gate and in the adjacent market known as Hall bazar, my grandfather and his two brothers had their shops. Due to obvious reasons, my grandfather got disturbed and said if they have reached Hall gate, it should be a matter of few hours for them to take over entire city. However due to imposition of curfew in the city, there was no other way to verify the news.
All the children of our locality had taken a job of enforcing blackout in the houses lest the enemy aircraft spots a light and bombards the area. One 10-11 years old boy was the head of the gang; he proposed that we should go to Hall gate and see with our own eyes what has happened there. Due to imposition of curfew it was impossible to reach Hall gate, though weaving through the bylanes where there was no police bandobast, we a group of 4-5 children managed to reach Hall gate through Katra Baghian and Ram Baug route. First attention of our eyes, obviously, was top of the gate where clock was perched. Yes, it was present there in all its magnificence.
Meanwhile few policemen on duty standing under the gate screamed at us and told didn’t we know curfew was imposed and ordered us to go back to our respective homes. On being told that we have heard that the Pakistani troops have reached Hall gate and taken out the clock, they let out choicest of expletives in Punjabi and said let those bas***** come and see what we do to them. Anyway, this false propaganda by Pakistan was being done when our forces had already reached outskirts of Lahore and Sialkot.
This is noteworthy that Pakistan was aggressor in 1965; firstly in the month of April, it ingressed in Kutch buoyed by Sabre jets and Paton tanks supplied to it by the USA but due to intervention by Britain it withdrew; then in first week of August it sent infiltrators in the state of Jammu and Kashmir naming the exercise as Operation Gibraltar and finally pushed full one division of army in Akhnoor sector of J&K known as Operation Grand slam. Predictably, Bharat retaliated in Lahore and Sialkot and held on to the captured territory till Tashkent agreement which happened in January 1966. Normally, a winner or a loser in a war is decided by the captured territory by either of the combatant nations. In this case Bharat had captured around 1920 square kilometers of Pakistani territory whereas Pakistan could capture 550 square kilometers. Bharat was a clear cut winner in the war which was imposed on it. But Pakistan deluded its public permanently by declaring 6th September as its Defence Day which every year it celebrates with great amount of pomp and show.
If Pakistan as a nation is called a congenital liar, by any account it will not be an over statement. In the decade of seventies while I was in Srinagar, Kashmir, an old man named Shaukat Ali was
working at my father’s shop in Maharaj Ganj. He originally hailed from Baramulla and used to narrate his experience of the year 1947 when Kabailis( Tribals) from Pakistan had invaded Kashmir. He used to tell that while common Pathan invaders used to talk with each other in Pashto but their commanders were talking in Punjabi. It amply established that the Pakistani army was fully involved in aggression but hid itself behind the facade of Kabailis. For long Pakistan refused to accept that by breaking stand still agreement with Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, it was the state of Pakistan which invaded former’s territory. Practically right from the day of its formation, Pakistan indulged into propaganda of lies, manipulations and delusions and the same is continued till today.
Even on 16th December 1971 when Pakistan had lost the war decisively and its 93.000 army personnel surrendered in Dhaka, the Pakistani state was trumpeting its victory. Entire Pakistani print media carried the headlines of the victories of its “Janbaz afwaz”(Brave army).
Unfortunately for the people of Pakistan, the lie making factory of the Pakistani state never learnt a lesson.
In February 1999 when Bhartiya PM Shri Vajpayee was signing a peace treaty with his Pakistani counterpart Mr Nawaz Sharif in Lahore, the latter’s army General Parvez Musharraf had already illegally occupied the peaks of Kargil. The entire operation, according to Pakistan, was supposed to be done by the so called Mujahideen. Later when General Musharraf was in Beijing, his talk with General Aziz who was in Rawalpindi, was intercepted by the Bhartiya intelligence and the entire world came to know that it was Pakistani army in the guise of Mujahideen who had deceptively occupied Kargil posts.
The Pakistani troops who had been sitting on Kargil heights were majorly from its Northern light infantry, the truth which it constantly kept on denying. So much so, it declined to take back dead bodies of its soldiers whose last rites with an honour, which a soldier deserves, had to be performed by the Bhartiya army. Till today Pakistani army is not disclosing how many soldiers had died in the conflict. However, two former Prime Ministers of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif on different intervals of time acknowledged loss of big numbers of soldiers. Bhutto told that it was in excess of 3000 whereas Mr Sharif stated that due to misadventure of General Musharraf his country lost 4000 soldiers in the conflict.
In the context of Operation Sindoor which Bharat had to initiate to avenge killings of 27 innocent lives in Pahalgam, Pakistani lie producing factory has proliferated to the micro level of its society. Not only its Government, ISPR, state media, private news channels but ordinary YouTubers are also vying with each other in the competition of spreading fabricated stories about its supposed victory over Bharat. Falsified news stories are being circulated, fake videos are being manufactured and misleading news to the international media is being supplied.
Masks are off from the faces of those media persons of Pakistan who were talking about establishment of peaceful relations between the two countries; they are not apologetic about the terrorist infrastructure existing on their land but are busy in spreading lies against Bharat. On all the international forums, Pakistanis are not tired of calling themselves victims of terrorism. If one views the pictures of Pakistani public and army officers attending the last rites of the killed terrorists, veneer of “victims of terrorism” evaporates and deep skin of hatred towards Bharat emerges.
Truth is the biggest casualty of the operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos which Pakistan launched in response to the Operation Sindoor of Bharat. In today’s age of satellite imagery, Pakistan could
not show even a single picture of any damage to any target on Bharat’s land which was attacked by the former with its army of 1000 drones and umpteen number of missiles. It even tried to attack our holy places like Golden temple.
Bharatiya air defence comprising of anti-aircraft guns, electronic jammers, Akash SAMs and
S-400 system completely thwarted Pakistani attempts to target civilian and military targets on its land. Nothing was reported by Pakistani media. One outstanding feature of the Operation Sindoor was the remarkable precision with which Bhartiya forces attack the terrorist hideouts and later military targets. Initially even international media, mainly due to denial by the Pakistanis, did not acknowledge Bhartiya army’s achievements but later when satellite images were available, it had to publish and broadcast the reality. Nine terrorist camps were decimated with surgical precision without causing any civilian loss of life and more than eleven air force stations were decapitated. But the recalcitrant state and people of Pakistan are celebrating their so called victory. Realistically, any state which survives on lies and delusions is enemy of its own people; precisely due to this mindset of Pakistanis, their society is in disharmony, their economy is in shambles and international reputation, indicated by their passport ranking, is abysmal. In another words, this couplet can summarise their plight more appropriately
Mere doston ne kar di mukkamal tabahi meri Dushman toh karte rahe intezar apni bari ka.
It means I was destroyed by my own friends; my enemies kept on waiting for their turn.
One learns from the annals of history that the concept of Al Taqiyya was adopted by the Islamic armies to deceive the enemy. In context of Bharat, its people have been on the receiving end of this concept in the past but as the recent events indicate, the future looks more secure, assured and full of confidence against any deception. Moreover the state and army of Pakistan is using this concept against its own gullible people; they don’t require any external enemy; the theory of Karma will do the needful.
