This is in response to your praiseworthy article under the caption 'The real terrorist state' published on February 9, 2009. The writer, Sajjad Shaukat has logically countered the vile Indian propaganda that accuses Pakistan of being a state that sponsored terrorism. He has analyzed the development of Hindu fundamentalism in India in the light of many events relating to massacres of innocent Muslims. By referring to Gujarat genocide, arrest of Lt. Colonel Srikant Purohit, death of Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Karkare, continued killings of freedom fighters in the Occupied Kashmir etc., his article has proved conclusively that India is the real terrorist state. Sajjad Shaukat has shown that there is a relationship between the Hindutva and Hindu fundamentalism, which generates the Hindu terrorism. The Hindutva s ideology has been encouraged officially, manifesting itself in various forms such as a dominance of the Hindu culture in the Indian society. The US-led international community should grasp reality and force India to ban extremist organizations like Shiv Sena, RSS, Bajrang Dal and similar other parties which have turned India into a terrorist state. -M.FAREED, Karachi, via e-mail, February 10.
