US needs Pakistan and this time Pakistan is not governed by their military or civilian stooge. US has lots at stake in Afghanistan, Middle east/Iran and China. Pakistan has the key. US can be dethroned or keep its throne and Pakistan has the leverage to shift the balance. Bajwa and company will not even meet with Trump, it will be only Khan and Trump one on one and we trust Khan will not bend nor break.
Dr. Aaisha Siddiqa is a learned analyst and research scholar. She is the first researcher who unearthed the huge millitary industrial complex in Pakistan that affects the political culture of Pakistan and that how establishment muddles the political atmosphere in Pakistan. Its evident from the imposition of undeclared censorship on print & electronic media suppressing the unsaid voices. PFUJ being an elected body of journalist across pakistan is decrying the atmosphere of self censorship caused by anonymous calls from powerful quarters. It is to b noted that PFUJ have in its fold Nasir Zaidi type iconic journalist who underwent the brunt of lashing imrisonment during Zia era dictatorship era. Dr. Aaisha has successfully talked of reignited US-Pak ties on the mutual agreement regarding Pak- Taliban nexus and how it could be beneficial to US in pulling out its megalith millitary forces. She has pointed out how our millitary establishment is playing diplomatic cards to convince Americans of their vital role in stabizating Afghanistan. The dying out flame of CPEC is worrisome as it would deprive gold-copper, coal, natural gas, strategically lifeline coastal belt . . . . . Baluchistan of its long pending deprivations.
. . . . . . . I think we should slide off from the perspective of Pakistani establishment point of view and stop labelling anti pakistan whoever differs with the Pakistani state narrative which has landed our dear country into unwanted proxy wars that has siphoned off our resources and intellectual SAP.
It is absurd how the author talks about gimmickry and the article ends up on an Indian news website. India has done nothing but gimmickry since Modi has come to power; a man who lacks intellect and decides matters based on the weather and time of the day (yeah, you got it). This rant about “isolating” Pakistan sounded quite nice a few years ago when Modi and Nawaz were on the same page for a lot of things going on, most of them going south, for Pakistan. Since then, the world, notably European, Russian and Chinese leadership has not only grown tired but frustrated of India’s attempts to sabotage global platforms to defame Pakistan. Did Pakistan do some mistakes in history and along the way? Absolutely, but that does not absolve India, a country that ultimately got caught up in it’s own lies – from fake surgical strikes to air attacks that did nothing more than aid public consumption and national ego, while one can visibly see how Pakistan has suddenly disappeared from political point scoring right after the elections. The Kulbhushan case at ICJ, India’s relentless rants at FATF and UN, it’s larger-than-life investments in Iran and Afghanistan – it’s all coming back to haunt a state that could never digest the concept of a separate Pakistan. Silently, a new Pakistan seems to be on the charts locally, where Muslims are being targeted for their birthright to Nihari and Double Whoppers, singled out for population control, lynched by mobs, their women raped and their prayer places attacked. What’s more, India is nowhere to be seen in an Afghan endgame where US, Russia and China are now publicly praising Pakistan for it’s role in containing this war that has only brought shame and embarrassment to the US thus far. India is also nowhere to be seen when Pakistan embarks on a reset of ties with oil-rich Middle Eastern powers that understand well how CPEC and OBOR will be the latest avenues for connecting their markets to a new world order, which is China – shifting from the traditional supremacy of the West. Again, India is not even part of OBOR and instead chose to invest in the Chabahar port which is currently surrounded by Western forces and could be bombed anytime. Pakistanis know deep down that even if Army is controlling the reins of power locally, they are not bothered because an army cannot exist without a country. Imran Khan is not just a public figure in Pakistan or even a puppet of the army, he is seen as a man of change and that is because he has opened himself and his ministers to public accountability. So say what you will, but Pakistan will rise out of the ashes and will be respected again, regardless of what some tea-slinging old man thinks across the border.
The author, infamous in Pakistan to write against Pakistan military has accepted that at least Pakistan political and military authorities are all working for the interests of Pakistan. this is good news for common Pakistanis. whether real talking is done by PM Imran Khan or Pakistan military; it is good enough as long as it is for the interests of Pakistan. PM Imran Khan has towering personality and people in uniform respect him. God willing everything will be resolved. PTI would emerge victorious. Pakistan should put in its best to bring peace in Afghanistan and hopefully the US has realized the importance and role of Taliban. Pakistan should help Afghanistan and the US to have peaceful withdrawal of US troops and establish good relations with each other. That is the best strategy for the region and Pakistan.
The author is just trying to remain relevant…………after attacking Pakistan military for last 15 years ………..the Lady author did not have courage to openly admit that Pakistan military has won this Afghan war…………too !!!!
Muslim enemies R lucky they’ve got stupid Muslim Leaders, who act passionately according to their whims & not according to Allah’s Revelations or their national interests. Delhi & Washington are centuries old Islam’s adversaries Bajwa should not let his guards down or trust USA & Modi, they always side step their promises. Pakistan could have extracted billions of dollars from India as an upfront guarantee against any further military aggression from Indian side. But ever since 1947 Pakistan has been let. No doubt if Allah’s anger is proven than Lord Almighty God will send Mongols again & butcher these hypocrates & have them drag behind enemy tanks in the Islamabad streets as happened in Baghdad in 1258 & mor recently Ghaznavi dragged hypocrite Hindus behind his galloping horses in India streets.
If there is consensus between the US, China and Russia on the future of Afghanistan, that is good for the people of that country and stability in the region. From India’s point of view, Pakistan repairing its relationship with the US is also a welcome development.. It makes it more amenable to good advice and restraint, with Pulwama highlighting how swiftly a crisis can develop. There is need to reconsider the policy of seeking to isolate Pakistan and refusing to talk to it.
ASHOK clearly lacks strategic sense and intellectualism . I will just put US demands to PAK and then PAK demands to US –
US demands:(in the order of weight given by pentagon)
1. Respectful political settlement on US terms in AFG. Nothing less will be accepted by trump.
2. PAK must remove all UN designated terror groups.
3. PAK cannot use IMF funds for Chinese projects
PAK demands 🙁 in order of weight given by ISI)
1. Lowering financial pressure.
2. Asking INDIA for talks on KASHMIR
3. INDIA must not be given any role in AFGH
4. Save PAK in FATF
5. Resume Millatarr Assistance AAANNDDD many more …….
so clearly PAK needs US more than US needs PAK however TRUMP is known for deals and the DEAL as we all know is IF pak delivers US on AFG and TALIBAN they will live to fight for another day OR they are dead.
