Pakistan came into being on the basis of the two nation theory which reaffirmed that Muslims and Hindus belong to two different religions, cultures and traditions. India now fully understands that it cannot defeat Pakistan conventionally and instead, has now subjected Pakistan to Hybrid and 5th Generation Warfare. With this backdrop let us discuss on going conspiracies against Pakistan by India and other powers.
Firstly, India is using its media and social media for spreading fake news in an attempt to destabilise Pakistan. Different themes and narratives are being used as the country remains busy in plotting against Pakistan. Recently a story was promoted on a so called attempted coup in army. Amjad Ayub Mirza of Pakistani origin was used for this news by most Indian channels. Amjad is from Mirpur, Azad Kashmir and lives in Scotland. From there he runs a radio channel with his sister. He frequently appears on Indian TV channels as champion for the rights of GB despite the fact he has no clue about the intricacies of the issue of GB and only speaks about what is fed to him by RAW.
Mehdi Shah Rizvi from Skardu recently made a confessional statement and exposed Amjad Ayub who used him for anti Pakistan activities. He also admitted that all his videos against Pakistan and its army were scripted by RAW through Amjad Ayub. RAW also facilitated Senge Hasnan Sering from Skardu in establishing the Institute of GB Studies in Washington. During the Tehrik Labaik Pakistan (TLP) protest in Lahore and Islamabad, one of the popular trend on twitter was ‘civilwarinPakistan’. There were total of 4 lac tweets and 250,000 of them were from Indian accounts as bot accounts were used to spread panic in Pakistan.
Secondly, articles that show the negative side of Pakistan are being written and published in foreign media. Intellectuals, journalists and bloggers are being paid by hostile agencies to produce such content. This is exactly what Indian security experts recommended during a talk show on the use of Pakistani media to instigate the masses against the army by spreading fake news and disinformation. Concocted stories and allegations against serving and retired armed forces officers with misleading headlines were released last year even. Recently, a demonstration was organised in front of the office of FATF regarding Taha Siddique–a Pakistani journalist on self-exile with financial support provided by RAW to malign Pakistan and influence the FATF. Hussain Haqqani, a former ambassador to US, is also part of the propaganda and conspiracies against his motherland and has been found to be playing in the hands of hostile agencies.
Thirdly, a fake news was carried by Indian media channels according to which India established contact with the Taliban leadership in Doha. This news was promoted extensively to impress Pakistan. However, the Taliban spokesperson denied the report and called it a lie. Initially embarrassed, India has now denied reports pertaining to the Jaishankar meeting with the Taliban.
Fourthly, after a thorough investigation of the Lahore blast, it has been confirmed that the incident was linked to RAW. Pakistan has immense proof of the involvement of India in the blast. The blast occurred while FATF was in session to decide the fate of Pakistan. The aim was to highlight the name Hafiz Saeed, whose house was located in the near vicinity.
Fifthly, India has a long history of false flag operations and the first of such operations was the hijacking of the Fokker plane ‘Ganga’ in 1971. This was followed by the killing of Sikhs at Chittisingh Pura village, Mumbai attacks, Pathankot, Uri and Pulwama attacks. The recent so called twin drone attack on a Jammu air base in IIOJK was managed drama. A drone attack was executed by India to defame Pakistan after the failure of all parties’ conference. Though the Indian media claimed that Pakistan and its state-backed militants are behind the attack. It was also part of the inner politics between Gen Bipin and the Indian air chief.
Most importantly, it was the Lahore blast where security agencies arrested the entire network of RAW which was being controlled from India. The mastermind behind it was an Indian citizen associated with RAW. The day the blast took place, there were thousands of coordinated cyberattacks on the information structure of Pakistan to disrupt the investigation. India is so obsessed with Pakistan that it frequently claims to have taken into custody ‘Pakistan spy pigeons’ and balloons.
Sixthly, after Prime Minister Imran Khan’s famous ‘absolutely no’, some foreign powers are also taking steps to punish Pakistan which is evident from the fact that Pakistan’s name has been retained in the grey list despite addressing 26 out of 27 items of FATF. FATF has become a political forum instead of a technical forum. Recently, the US has added Pakistan to its Child Soldiers Prevention Act (CSPA). The report refers to soldiers less than 18 years as member of armed forces, police and other LEA. The effects could be sanctions on military assistance and participation in UN peace keeping operations. No specific observation are recorded or shown in case of Pakistan. The minimum recruitment age of Pakistan armed forces is 17. A cadet and recruit undergoes training for two and one year respectively. Surprisingly, the minimum age for enlisting in UK armed forces is 16. Certainly this is a ploy to twist Pakistan’s arm by adding it to the list. The recent past government of Pakistan has taken brave decisions as a sovereign country in the national interest. Pakistan is free to choose its friends based on its national interest. Prime minister Imran Khan has rightly said that our future is tied with China which has stood by us throughout.
