| Crackdown on terror outfits needed | | | It is not only India that is keen to engage Pakistan in sustained dialogue.Pakistani too is taking measures that could cause least provocation to India so that the channels of bilateral dialogue, which India has reopened,were not shut again.In this connection Islamabad has banned about 60 militant outfits,including Lashkar-i-Toiba and Jash-e-Mohammad, which it believes could encourage New Delhi to start the peace process through the process of dialogue.However,what seems to have irked New Delhi is the way Pakistan has not included JuD in the list of militant outfits that Islamabad has banned.In this context it may be mentioned here that Hafiz Saeed,who heads the JuD is,considered by India,the man behind the 2008 Mumbai mayhem.
And during the last seven years India has been consistently demanding action against Saeed but Islamabad has given him full freedom and he is seen roaming freely engaged in voicing venom against India.
Well no action against Saeed could be raised by India during the proposed bilateral talks. Mere banning terrorist outfits may be meaningless unless Islamabad orders a crack down on their activists. Another development in Pakistan is in the shape of instructions given to his ministerial colleagues by Nawaz Sharif cautioning them against making any anti-India statements.Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has stopped his ministers from giving anti-India statements so that the peace process is not hit. As per reports the ministers and senior officials had been asked not to issue any statement that could damage the peace process. "There will be statements only that encourage the dialogue process rather than digging out the past. The Pak PM has asked the close aides and cabinet members to promote peace," reports said.Sharif was annoyed by statements from India that New Delhi only wanted to discuss Pakistan occupied Kashmir in talks, but understands this is not Indian gover-nment's policy because Sharif, wants to give top priority to Kashmir, terrorism and trade when the two sides discuss peace. Yet another development that could encourage India to keep the door for dialogue open is the instruction to the Pakistan Army to stop assisting militants in infiltrating into Jammu and Kashmir. This is evident from the way militant outfits, operating in Jammu and Kashmir,have started recruiting local boys to make up for the depleted man power.
These militant outfits, including Lashkar-i-Toiba, have undertaken recruitment drive after they realized that infiltration from across the LOC and the IB had become quite difficult and risky with the Indian forces having upgrade the security grid on the border. |
