| Experts want PM Modi to keep Balochistan a live issue | | Keeping Pak away from J&K | |
Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 5: The ongoing war of words between India and Pakistan and the Pakistani attacks on the Indian posts across the LoC and IB and on unarmed peaceful civilians have angered the nation and the strategic affairs experts. They are saying that the time has come for destroying Pakistan and breaking it into smithereens. They say the destruction of Pakistan is the only option left to teach it a lesson. Some of them are asking the Modi Government to replicate 1971 and get Balochistan separated from Pakistan like the Indira Gandhi Government got the East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) separated from Pakistan in 1971. However there is another important group which says fragmented Pakistan would not be in India's interest and that it would be only desirable if New Delhi keeps Pakistan on the tenterhooks by raking up Balochistan and Indus Water Treaty again and again.
Their argument is that for India, a weakened but united Pakistan is a safer bet than a fragmented Pakistan, simply because India's main focus is on economic progress and it cannot afford to have hordes of radicalized terrorists descending on its borders in case Pakistan implodes.
"Today, a united Pakistan, tenuously held together by the only glue that binds-the Pakistani Army-will ensure that the terrorists keep fighting the Pakistani state rather than India. For a decade or so, this scenario suits India. By 2025, an India that is economically much much stronger than Pakistan, an India that is much more secured because of its economic heft, will perhaps be ready to face the fallout of an imploding Pakistan," they are arguing. At the same time, they want New Delhi to continue to prick.
"Till then, the current policy of highlighting Pakistan's atrocities in Balochistan, isolating the country diplomatically and keeping it off balance by a mix of calibrated military actions (like the surgical strikes) and other measures like revisiting the Indus Water Treaty, would be sufficient to meet the Pakistan challenge," they are saying.
The fact of the matter is that even those who want Pakistan to stay united for tactical reasons are not for letting Pakistan go scot-free. They want Pakistan to be punished but through aggressive and water diplomacy. It is for the PM to take a final call taking into consideration the national mood.
One thing is absolutely clear that PM Modi has to do something thing to keep Pakistan away from J&K and there are only options (1) war with Pakistan or (2) isolate Pakistan through other means so that it remains busy in its own fractured house - fractured because Balochs, Sindis and Pustuns are all up in arms against Pakistan. |
