The historic decision of stripping
Jammu and Kashmir’s special status and its concomitant complete integration has
irked Pakistan and China who have illegally occupied Indian territory. For decades,
both countries have been using Indian territory to foster their strategic
interests. By bifurcating the state of
J&K into two Union Territories of J &K and Ladakh, India has attempted
to deal the border disputes with Pakistan and China separately. While Pakistan’s immediate meltdown over
revocation of article 370 was anticipated, China which illegally occupied
strategic Aksai Chin, serving as a conduit between Tibet and Xinjiang province
took time to react. To begin with, Islamabad’s provocative statements and
efforts to internationalise Kashmir issue hardly stirred global cauldron.
Expect for the Congress Party of India whose statements matched Pakistan’s
vehemence, no country threw its weight behind Pakistan.
Since its inception, Pakistan advocated
Ghazwa-e-Hind (bleed India by thousand cuts) used J&K as a launch
pad making it an invaluable pawn to serve its strategic and domestic interests.
Rattled by India’s audacious move on Kashmir, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran
Khan convened joint session of the parliament and lashed out“The BJP's
mindset is like the mindset of white supremacists who go on mass shootings in
the US. They are racists. If you look at elections, you will see that they did
everything Hitler did during elections in Germany. They have backed the
opposition into a corner”. He added, “They wanted to ensure that Muslims
are treated as second-class citizens” and gave the decision a deliberate Hindu-Muslim
spin. By overtly cultivating terror ecosystem to foster its strategic
interests, Pakistan lost its global credibility. Barring vested groups which
have tacit understanding with Islamists and Leftists no one cared about
Pakistan’s protestations.
Contemporary history is replete of
examples where vested groups have convincingly changed global narratives.
Famous as “Red and Black Reactionaries” the uncanny alliance between
Leftists and Islamists has been at the forefront in reshaping global
interpretations. Leftists who are deeply moved by the concept of “the
exploiter and the exploited” had genuine leanings towards their cohorts who
always played a victimhood card. Interestingly, these two groups with
diametrically opposite leanings and preferences have forged a deep friendship
as Leftists believed that Islamists belonged to “the exploited” camp.
Divested from the realities on the ground, these influential groups always
worked hand in glove with Islamists across the globe. Leftists who believe
values of democracy and human rights as colonial relics of the West are
naturally drawn towards the Islamists who deride democracy and want an Islamic
Caliphate. Thus, historically a bond of alliance held Leftists and Islamists
together.
While Muslim Ummah (the OIC
Countries) remained indifferent to Pakistan’s insidious propaganda, Leftist
brigade across the globe and India’s Pakistani apologists upped ante against
the political dispensation portraying it as a Hindu nationalist party. This
brigade who detested Modi’s ascension to power since 2014 seized every
opportunity and platform to defame acts of government. Irrespective of
government’s developmental agenda for J&K, towing Pakistani line, Leftists termed
integration of J&K as an act of Hindu triumphalism and advanced a
propaganda instigating separatists. Ironically the elite who openly resented
democracy criticised the legislation passed by two-thirds majority in both
houses as illegal. They accused government’s preventive restrictive measures to
avoid any violent flareups and subsequent loss of life as fascist. Busy enumerating
disruption of normal life in J&K due to suspension of communication network
they hardly raised their voices against imposition of section 144 across North
Waziristan for one month. Running out of options, Pakistani President gave a
clarion call to militant groups for “Jihad” against India but saviours of the
liberal world haven’t battled an eyelid. International community which is now
too familiar with Pakistan’s dubious agenda has refused to intervene and
largely subscribed that J &K is a bilateral issue. Almost globally
isolated, the leftist foot soldiers are investing their intellectual might to
advance Pakistan’s anti-India agenda.
Instead of hailing the revocation
of Article 370 that created equal opportunities for all the residents of the
state and nullified the misogynistic legislation self-proclaimed apostles of
liberal values gave a vicious twist. With their anachronistic allegations
against government of the day, liberal elite of India are exploring every
avenue to foment unrest in the valley. Email trail of the noted tukde tukde
gang which went viral on Twitter shredded their mantle of high moral ground
into tatters.
Majority of the international media
houses dominated by this elite brigade have jumped into fray in peddling false
news and morphing old videos to project India in a bad light. Overriding authentic
government notifications about the law and order situation these agencies lost
no time in distorting the facts and publishing on their platforms with global
reach. Angered by this rampant negative propaganda, government has asked BBC
and Aljazeera to produce rough footage of their videos. But none of these
agencies have reverted back as of now.
With its finances almost on the
brink of collapse, looming under international sanctions and allies almost
silent on the Kashmir issue, Pakistan which can ill afford a conventional war
is now marshalling bots to carry out its malicious propaganda. Adding a fresh
chapter to chronicles of retaliatory wars, Pakistan’s Inter-Service
Intelligence (ISI) has unleashed cyber war. Since August 5th ISI
began recruiting thousands of techies and hackers to wage an information war
against India. These bots assigned with task of spreading anti-India contents have
been inundating the social media with morphed videos to sow seeds of discord
and fan anti-India passions. Thousands of pages and doctored videos of
atrocities from elsewhere are being passed off as latest pictures from Kashmir
to poison minds of youth. Simultaneously, they are laying honey traps to
extract insider information from army officials. Indian surveillance agencies
have now traced several of these bots who are retweeting doctored videos and
manipulated facts to ISPR (Inter-Service Public Relations). Intimidated by the
Indian accounts which are busting the fake messaging factory of Pakistan on
social network, ISI is issuing death threats and warnings to the families and
near and dear ones of the social media champions. Similar kind of pattern has
been witnessed in the aftermath of the Pulwama and Balakot attacks. This
inexpensive cyberwar is now becoming the new normal of Pakistan. When an Indian
media agency questioned the sudden spurt of accounts and spurious activities of
Blue Tick, Pakistani based twitter handles, churning out tonnes of fake
reports, the liberal gang refused to comment and silently endorsed the negative
campaigning against India. Twitter handle which is overtly leftist issued vague
statements and preferred to buy time.
In the process of
internationalising Kashmir issue, Pakistan has downgraded diplomatic relations
with India, imposed complete trade ban and suspension of the Samjhauta and Thar
express to escalate the situation. Not satisfied with badmouthing of India
across the social and print media, Pakistan is now taking its war to global
cities. Violent targeting of the India Diaspora peacefully assembled before the
Indian Embassy to celebrate Independence Day Celebrations at London by
thousands of pro-Pakistani mobs who were transported to the city by chartered
coaches funded by Imran Khan’s close friend Sayed Zulfi Bhukari stands as a
tall example of an unspoken understanding between Islamists and Leftists.
British leftist legislators have been at the forefront in condemning India
government’s decision of revoking special status to Kashmir. City Mayor, Labour
Party’s Sadiq Khan supporting right to protest shirked away from condemning the
violence perpetrated by the pro-Pakistani lobby. Above all the endorsement and
participation of the Lord Nazir Ahmed who is currently investigated for
paedophile charges in the violent riots in London suffice to indicate leftist
politicians’ soft approach towards Islamists. Indeed, the leftist lobby for the
fear of losing political capital are indifferent to anti-India propaganda
carried by the pro-Khalistani forces in the UK working at the behest of
Islamist forces. Not far behind, hundreds
of Californians marched protesting the revocation of Article 370 in a rally
organised by Javaid Akhtar, a Kashmir Action Committee Member.
Kashmir issue has been Pakistan’s
jugular and grappling severe economic distress, Pakistan has outsourced its
agenda to Pakistani Diaspora and Islamists to internationalise a bilateral
issue. China detested any external intervention in three-month long Hongkong
protests claiming it as an internal issue has supported Pakistan’s petition on
India’s internal decision for closed meetings at UNSC. It is time to bust the
hallow of Pakistan and China who dragged India to international platform over its
internal issue. Both these countries who cares two hoots for human rights
violation and democratic functioning are taking shots at India over Kashmir
issue. India has always welcomed talks with Pakistan with a precondition of talks
and terror cannot go together. Instead of condemning Pakistan for its unending punitive
cross infiltrations, vested interests are taking India for task. It is time to
call the bluff of fabricated narratives of the vested groups.
