Incidents of terrorism in India have always been suspiciously viewed as the work of external elements such as the Pakistan based religious organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba. One thing oddly peculiar about every such incident is the perfectly appropriate timing that has proved beneficial for India only.
The confessions made by Swami Aseemanad, an important member of RSS, has drastically changed ground realities and has stripped naked the true Indian ugliness. The attack on the Indian parliament is one incident of terror that was used by the Indians to take military, political and diplomatic action against Pakistan as it happened in a prime slot soon after the 9/11 scenario when anti-terror sentiments were ripe and raw and the world had needed a scapegoat to blame. This became instrumental in accusing Pakistan for perpetrating cross border terrorism, thus gaining sympathy from the international community.
This helped India mount effective global pressure on Pakistan from every direction to withdraw its support from the freedom movement in Indian Held Kashmir so that India may be given a free rein in the valley to exercise its hegemonic tendencies.
After nine long years the Indian authorities were unable to provide evidence due to which three accused were released but Afzal Gurus case was upheld by the Indian courts. The confessions of the Swami have blatantly exposed the true Indian evil operational tactics.
I would like to know what India and the international community say about the entire affair and Pakistani stance in the post Swamian confession scenario.
