If a house is on fire and the neighbour watches silently or stops others to put off the flames, then it is only a matter of time that the same fire may engulf his house as well. He may shout and shout for help but then it may be very late.
We have heard so many Indian intellectuals and people from all walks of life preaching about the slogan of having peace between Pakistan and India. Two friendly countries where borders do not need a visa and people are free to go as they wish. India’s long time desire is to get an MFN status resulting in free trade helping the economy of both countries to prosper.
The Two-Nation theory is shelved and the concept of similarity is being propagated. Showing the innocent Pakistanis’ such illusions and fantasies while India does the opposite. It constructs illegal dams and releases sudden water which causes floods in our vast areas. Millions of people are affected. Agriculture is destroyed and India sings a song of Aman Ki Asha.
In Indian Held Kashmir, hundreds and thousands of people are buried in mass graves by the brutal Indian forces, which has stunned the world and Human Rights Organisations and Indian rhetoric is everything is under control. Indian lobbies abroad and its own print and electronic media is spewing venom against Pakistan. They are providing false reports and provoking US and the West to initiate actions against Pakistan and then again they say to they want peace.
But what about the actions and behaviour which do not correlate with their slogans? Actions speak louder than the words. We as Muslims are more desperate for peace and love for humanity than anyone else because our faith is based on the philosophy of blessings and peace for everyone. Our sanguine nature is exploited and our softness is taken as ignorance and weakness.
The propaganda against Pakistan on all fronts proves the Indian evil-mindedness. If India really believes in Aman ki Asha then this is the time to prove as a good neighbour, stand with its neighbour and tell the US not to cross the limits as in future it is not good for the region.
