American fanaticism and witch-hunt

It is not difficult to understand that the arrest of Dr Ghulam Nabi Fai, the Executive Director of the US-based Kashmir American Council, is the result of American fanaticism and narrow-mindedness against Muslims as well as an attempt to please the Government of India during Hillary Clintons visit to New Delhi. Also, it is obvious that the US policymakers have tried to settle their old scores with Pakistan under the cover of this arrest. The US Department of Justice has alleged that Dr Fais handlers in Pakistan showered millions of dollars upon the Council to promote the Kashmiri cause among politicians and other decision makers in Washington. Whatever be the reality, the arrest of Dr Fai would add another strain to the already worsening relationship between the US and Pakistan. The situation is undoubtedly shocking for the Muslims all over the world, and particularly for the people of Pakistan. The CIA and FBI have always tried their best to exploit such incidents to distort Pakistans image, particularly the ISI. The anti-Pakistan hostile elements among the US policymakers must remember that Pakistan Army and ISI have a good professional record in UN peacekeeping missions. They have undertaken various UN missions across the world with absolute success and the ISI has always proved itself as the best shields against terrorism. Without the strong support of the army and the ISI, the USA or the NATO forces will never have been able to spend even a single day in Afghanistan. PROFESSOR ALI SUKHANVER, Multan, July 22
