At some point, Pakistan’s calculation has been, Hindus will rise in reprisal against their own minorities. That’s a crisis ISI has been conjuring up in India. A nation at war with itself.
Among the speakers at the condolence meet was Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini’s former OSD, Sanjay Bathla. ‘The media is lying to you about Muslim victims and ponywallahs who helped Hindus,’ he said.
Today, foreign policy in parts of the Gulf is increasingly being guided by strategic, security, and global priorities rather than just religious or ideological affiliations.
Pakistan saw 1,000+ terror attacks last year. The Institute for Economics and Peace’s report highlights concerns over terrorism in Africa, with Burkina Faso topping the list.
Bangladeshi Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain sought Jaishankar’s support to revive SAARC last weekend. India boycotted a SAARC summit in Pakistan after 2016 Uri terrorist attack.
Tunnels were identified as a “lacunae” that may have been used by terror operatives to infiltrate into India. BSF is also deploying scanners on experimental basis to detect such tunnels.
Khan is accused of facilitating the collection and distribution of explosives for terror activities and was declared a fugitive after the terror module was exposed.
Israel brought attention to Diab last week, highlighting that the Lebanese-Canadian convicted for the 1980 Paris synagogue bombing was currently teaching at a Canadian university.
Driving an electric vehicle for months, the Hyundai IONIQ5, BMW iX and now the Kia Carens Clavis electric, has convinced me of the viability of EVs for city and mid-range commutes.
With the US-India trade deal yet to get done, rupee depreciation may be helping to mitigate India’s loss of competitiveness. The other problem is extreme despondence among overseas equity investors.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
To Mr Ow and Harpreet that have replied to an earlier comment on April 26th:
To Mr Ow:
It is indeed typical of a Hindu-rashtri, non-Bhartiya of you to start any anti-Sikh tirade and Hindutva apologia with “I have relatives married to a Sikh family” as if people that gives you a free pass or makes your thoughts any less genocidal. It’s the equivalent of saying “I have a black friend or in-law” before saying black people have no right to live. Even after making it abundantly clear, that I’m Bhartiya, you’ve decided to call me a K-Sikh because it suits your narrative. I lets you get justify to you tiny mind the mass killings Hindu terrorists have done with impunity and without any recognition of Hindu Terrorism. And neither you, nor anyone in the world for that matter, is anyone to “allow” me to live in Punjab which is my home and will continue to be till the end of time to your great closetedly, genocidal discomfort. You are no one to show Us a big heart. Punjab is our home. It is you who have been done a favor to include Punjab even after not signing a constitution that forcefully convert us to Hinduism( while you go prancing about the world telling people you’re secular) , knowing Hindu propensity for salami slicing water, state capitals, and agricultural land. Asking for closure, justice after the highest courts have connived to give clean chits to genocidal perpetrators of 84 is decency. Responding to that by calling people K-Sikhs is pettiness and closeted complicity. And BTW, your closeted genocidal dream of a Sikh exodus from Punjab, similar to the one harbored by Kushal Mehra is reeking and fools no one and pisses all over your claims of “I have nothing against Sikhs”. Dream on. There will be no Sikh exodus like the 80s and 90s.
To Harpreet:
Like your friend Mr Ow, you’ve taken the easiest route to accuse me of living outside India, or not knowing Punjab inside-out, or blaming a single party. None of these are true, but that doesn’t matter to people you or Mr Ow that are committed to misunderstanding and misrepresenting things said by people, even on publicly readable comments. Nowhere have I asked for K-stan, but you and Mr. Ow jumped at the opportunity to call me one because I demanded ACCOUNTABILITY and JUSTICE from the highest office-bearers of the time who genocidal, self-hating people like you want to keep protecting.. It’s the only purpose served by you, Shekhar’s cabal, and the security establishment. “Is someone asking for accountability? OH crap! How do we change facts on the ground so we can call this guy a K-stani? Can we throw an Indira Gandhi hoodie at him? Can we get a separatist person whom he doesn’t recognize to stand next to him in a photo?” You’re just as pathetically complicit as closeted Sikh-hating The Print, Mojo Story, KPS Gill, Beant Singh, or Ravneet Bittu.
Go live your sorry spineless lives and pretend that having “family relations” with Sikhs makes your thoughts any less genocidal.
One of the most brilliant NI post I have read in recent times. Clarity of thought, articulation of the Pakistani intent and brevity and courage of the India response have all been captured effortlessly. Thank you SG for writing this. Hope to spread this message far and wide.
A superbly written article that hits the nail on the head as the objective of ISI is to foment discord between Hindus and Muslims in India… thank you for pointing out PM Modis and Mr Owaisis choice of words… Mr Sharad Pawars quick thinking also helped in the situation of the time…
Why is there no institutional sponsored research on the correlation between pak sponsorship of térrorism and the perception of múslims and how múslims react to this perception.
Shekha, the longstanding genocidal hatred of Sikhs harbored deeply by you, your Congress-era cartel Vir Sanghvi, Barkha Dutt, Dinkar Gupta, Amarinder Singh, and Ajai Sahni and your kindred spirits in demography-change and revisionism Kushal Mehra, Puneet Sahani, and Sheshadri Chari is betrayed the second you try try tie back every terror event back to Punjab forcefully for SEO warfare for link juice as you have done with since The Print was started. Your collective and deliberate intellectual dishonesty is in plain view for anyone who follows your work and juxtaposes it with facts and malicious patterns. Case in point: the 26/11 anniversary video which you ended by talking about Shiromani Akali Dal, the times you sanitized child ethnic cleanser KPS Gill with sanitized titles like ‘dirty harry,’ the times you and Ajai Sahni both curiously did not report Surinder Suri as a proper thoroughbred, cut-and-dried, unapologetic Hindu Terrorist( even though Ajai maintains a farcical ‘terrorism monitor’ on his joke of a website made to whitewash KPS’s crimes), the times you and Ajai both deliberately failed to mention the deliberate impunity and media silence with which 7 times SGGSJ was desecrated the culprit pled insanity and which is what drove people over the edge, not some religious zealotry. Ideally, you planned to coordinate the attacks with your reporting hoping to reframe reprisal violence as a blasphemy narrative to embed against Sikhism in the western media with coodrination from your friend Amarinder Singh no less – but beef blasphemy played spoilsport and your hand was forced to call out Hindus too. You did your best, as did Praveen Swami. Didn’t stop him from trying to rest the blame at the feet of kuka Sikh- a fimiliar play from your book. Surinder Suri openly called for exodus and genocide of Sikhs and for unspeakable things to be done to their womenfolk – and everyone can see the favorable tone you’ve used to refer to him and the way you’ve completely invisibilized his terrorism by not mentioning what he did. And don’t even get me started the deliberate wordplay to dilute 84 from genocide to pogrom to riots all to give Rajiv Gandhi a clean chit. Or the 25000 killed in just one Punjab district and over 100000 estimaed by your bosom buddy KPS butcher who you and Ajai will keep platforming till the very end, or the kids he beheaded and drowned in the Beas after removing their intestines. So save Sikhs the lectures on why you every new terror event MUST be linked to Punjab for your SEO warfare. It’s getting old. I’m sure your shameless self has no disregard for even Hindu brothers and their lives and you’re probably frothing at the mouth and breathlessly hoping for something similarly bad to happen (god forbid) just to give Hindu separatist salami slicers like your self the permission to fulfill desires for water, state capitals, and agricultural land. There will always be a difference between you and us. Our allegiance is to Bharat, yours is to Lala Lajpat’s “divisive ideology” of Hindi- Hindu-Hindustan. Your opinion piece sayong Sikh shrines a relatively safe is yet another joke when “darshan deedar sewa sambhal da daan khalsa jee nu bakhsho” is not even paid lip service but regular Sikhs are profiled at airports for pilgrimages and RSS agent Sheshadri Chari ask for Sikhs to be declared persona non grata from visiting Sikh shrine on arbitrary basis. Never mind if they be critical of non-delivery of justice for the 80s and 90s. You’re not fooling anyone with featured ground stories from Punjab on blue collar labor when you or the industrialists say loacls don’t work hard when in reality it’s not hours or skills, but living conditions factories want locals to compete on with migrants – wholly unfair. 3 families of irresponsiboe migrants with 6 kids each cramped in house can afford to have each kid work for as low as 7000, pay no rent for their illegal settlement whereas a sensible local with a TFR of 1.5, paying rent and utilities in a single family home can’t possibly live on less than 15-20k. Also, the open religious discrimiation during hiring, especially by Hindu owned textile mills has attained national fame, but somehow your ground coverage can see none. For your reference – Lallantop’s one hour factory walkthrough is more than enough discriminatory hiring for a lifetime. Then, there’s Dilip Gogoi, a perpetually facist and genocidal commenter that you somehow haven’t moderated or banned in all these years. Intellectual honesty goes to die at The Print, not just Amar Singh Chamkila (which is problematic and culturally stereotypical beyond saving on its own). I don’t care what you write or what you and your Congress-era cartel need to do to give Gandhis a clean chit every new day or what fresh diarrhoea you try to link Sikhs for SEO warfare. Just wanted to let you know people see through you. You’re not fooling anyone or going unnoticed. Leave Sikhs the eff out fo your genocidal wet dreams that you keep trying to manifest some pretext for. I’m going to go make a sandwich.
Sorry mr prabh , I have nothing against sikhs , even I have family relations with sikhs , they are one of the nicest folks I have ever met but somehow I feel k-sikhs like you have a ” love your bully ” syndrome , you won’t open mouth on Pakistan who have pushed you out of pakistan Punjab in 47 but you will hurl abuses at Hindus who accepted you and were generous enough to give you a place to reside in Indian Punjab during your lowest of the phases . They also could have stopped you from entering india during 47 bloodbath but they didn’t and showed a big heart and look at your pittiness 👎
You probably haven’t seen Punjab and reciding overseas now. No doubt people suffered during those times. Instead of blaming wholesomely one party at least paint a whole picture of the situation that time and times now. Keep your khalsitani concept in Canada or wherever you are now.
General Musharraf told Ms Palki Sharma during an interview in Dubai that, for a long time, the security agencies of the two countries had been busy trying to harm and hurt each other. Meaning, their respective countries and people. India and Pakistan have their soft underbellies. Balochistan is going through a bad time. Kashmir. Earlier Punjab. The north east. The DGMOs speak to each other on Friday. Hopefully, the senior intelligence officials do so as well. Beyond the hard targets are the soft ones. Pahalgam. The large civilian populations which cannot be protected as effectively as a small, security state like Israel does, although it has suffered the trauma of 7th October. 2. Whatever games the ISI plays, it is for India and Indians not to get divided on communal lines to an extent that public order breaks down. It was an incredible act of statesmanship that created one nation out of such a mixed palette.
That is an incredibly clever tact validating the Hindu feeling and at the same time assuaging the hurt. This is argument I have been trying to make to people calling for boycott of muslims business in India – escalating tensions in India, only plays into the hands of Pakistani’s
but he is happy that few Hindus died . because for him quam is everything . so every Muslim is a traitor and they should be killed with ultimate cruelty. no sympathy
