India at the root of it

One agrees to the point of view that the Pakistan government should ban the overland flights of India over our territory into Afghanistan. One suspects it is India that is supplying weapons and intelligence operators to create ferment in our frontier regions. These flights are bound to increase in view of the crushing blow that Indian-trained terrorists are receiving at the hands of the Pakistani military on the Pak-Afghan border. To be on the safe side and also to expose Indian support for terrorism in the region, Pakistan must announce a ban on Indian flights to Kabul through our territory. There is enough evidence now to show that the India-US combine has been supplying arms to the so-called Pakistani Taliban and that India is also using bearded Hindu soldiers that pose as Taliban inside FATA, Swat, Dir, Hangu, Bunair, Malakand, Bannu, Timmergran and other tribal areas. They are the ones stoking this war that has caused the displacement of three million residents of these areas. -JAVED SUNNY, Islamabad, via e-mail, June 23.
