The entire political spectrum of Pakistan and its selfish hegemonic ambitions runs with the tool of state-sponsored terrorism. This is a well-known fact which has been exposed with evidence on several occasions. The latest solid proof further adds strength to this fact of Pakistan being a terror hub and safe-haven, where terrorist activities are an integral part of the government policy of Islamabad.
On November 6, Talal Chuadhry, Minister of State for Interior, who is also a close ally of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited the office of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League(PMML) in Faisalabad. PMML is the political front of Jamaat-ud-Dawah(JuD), an organization closely associated with the kingpin and mastermind in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack Hafiz Saeed.
As per the statement released by PMML, Talal Chaudhry held detailed discussions with the members of the political league regarding the pivotal aspects of Pakistan’s current political landscape and other key national issues. The statement says, leaders discussed political stability and continuation of democracy in Pakistan. This is the biggest irony and hypocrisy, to hear that Pakistan deliberates on democracy and political stability in a country where the Army holds ultimate power and no single Prime Minister could complete his term for 7 decades.
The very meeting between the Minister and the PMML is a testament to the nature of political and administrative scenario in Pakistan, because an elected leader discusses policy and national governance issues with the banned extremist group. Hafiz Saeed, is a terror bighead who was one among the masterminds of 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. He is currently imprisoned in Lahore Jail under the case of terror financing. However, his network and organization is rigorously active across Pakistan and closely associated with the government as well. The latest meeting with the Minister is the biggest illustration and evidence.
As per the reports, PMML has been extensively active and has gelled extremely well with Islamabad post Operation Sindoor, in which India achieved a decisive victory and strategic edge against the atrocities and misadventures of Pakistan. This also raises security concerns for India. However, India’s firm and solid response to the act of state-sponsored terrorism has been witnessed during Operation Sindoor. Indian Defence Forces devastated nine terror havens not just in Pakistan-occupied Jammu & Kashmir but also deep-inside the Pakistan mainland including in parts of Lahore.
Post the operation and India’s befitting reply several videos circulated online depicting how India dismantled terror infrastructures belonging to JeM and other terror outfits. This reflects not just Pakistan government’s close association with terrorists but also testifies how bold and decisive India’s response will be for harnessing illicit terrorism in its backyard, which is not just a national security threat to the country, but a global threat.
