| Let Pakistan join Saudi Arabia led alliance against ISIS | | | Treating ISIS a major threat to world
peace India does not want to view the
growing activities of the ISIS on the sidelines. Instead, it would contribute to carry out operations against ISIS if the UN adopted a resolution in this regard. In fact India has been encouraged for operating against the ISIS after reports surfaced that Saudi Arabia has decided to lead an Islamic military alliance against terrorism. What is strange is the way Pakistan has feigned ignorance about the alliance being framed against growing threat of ISIS. More interesting has been Pakistan's ignorance when Saudi Arabia announced that Pakistan was included in the 34-Islamaic nation alliance against terror. The attitude of Pakistan is amazing because it is one among the Islamic countries that continue to face threats from terrorists. And during the last about 15 years terrorist of various hues continue to attack soft targets besides military installations, camps and convoys drawing a lot of blood. In fact it was expected that Pakistan would be the first country to welcome the Saudi initiative.
Against this India has displayed its mettle and without mentinioning about its any intention of joining the alliance among 34 Islamic countries for fighting ISIS. But it has put one condition for this bold step. India wants that it troops would be ordered to fight the ISIS, whereever its activists are operating, if the UN adopted a resolution. In that case the Indian troops would be fighting the ISIS under the UN flag. India has said it can undertake operations against the Islamic State terror group under a UN flag if the global body adopts a resolution in this regard. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, who has returned after a crucial meeting with his U.S. counterpart Ashton Carter in Washington, also said that India has been sharing intelligence on IS and it will be enhanced. India has made it clear that if there is a UN resolution and if there is UN flag and a UN mission, then as per India's policy to operate under UN flag, we will participate. Asked specifically if India will operate against IS under the UN flag, he said, "that depends on whether UN adopts a resolution". India had earlier this month, along with major world economies, participated in the first-ever global meeting held in Paris to discuss and evolve mechanisms to combat the clandestine and largely undetected terrorist financing network of the Islamic State.
Indian security establishment suggests that around 20 Indians are currently fighting for IS in Iraq-Syria. They include two youths from Kalyan in the outskirts of Mumbai, an Australia-based Kashmiri, one youth from Telangana, one from Karnataka, one Oman-based Indian and another Singapore-based Indian. Against India's open offer for fighting IS Pakistan has feigned ignorance over its inclusion in a Saudi Arabia-led 34-state Islamic military alliance against terrorism. Saudi Arabia has announced that Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan were among the 34 Islamic countries which are part of the military alliance. It had also said that Iran, Syria and Iraq were not part of the alliance, which will have a joint operations centre in Riyadh to coordinate and support military operations. India knows it fully well that in case the world failed to join hands in combating ISIS threat time is far away when the ISIS will take birth in Jammu and Kashmir. Once it happened it would further endanger peace in India. Against this Pakistan seems to be ignorant about the growing dangers of the ISIS. Pakistan and Afghanistan have been battling against the operations carried out by the Taliban and other terrorist outfits and once the IS was born in Islamabad and its adjoining areas it could destabilise political and security situation not only in Pakistan but India too would be affected. Unsettled Pakistan and Afghanistan could pose a new threat to India's stability. Hence it is time for Pakistan to join the Saudi Arabia lead alliance against IS. |
