Hardly, Pakistan was refuting the allegations levelled by outgoing
American military head Admiral Mike Mullen, once it was hit by another
accusation of involvement in the killing of former Afghan President
Professor Burhanuddin Rabbani. According to Lutifullah Mashal, a
representative of the Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security
(NDS), that Pakistani intelligence agency ISI was behind the
assassination of former Afghan President Prof Burhanuddin Rabbani and
that Quetta Shura made the plan for this killing in Quetta, Pakistan.
While acting in haste, President Karazai, seconded these allegations
of its intelligence agency and repeated the charges.
The new episode surfaced after Pentagon andUS State Department could
not put Pakistan on defensive, after Mullen accused the Pakistan for
its alleged relationship with Haqqanis. This time Pakistani nation
rebuffed the US allegations and strategy of degrading Pakistan through
a collective voice from all spheres; political parties, people and its
armed forces. So much so later State Department has to disown the
Mullen's remarks and even President Obama has said that, he is not
sure of the linkages between ISI and Haqqanis. Mullen himself changed
his statement during the farewell ceremony in Virginia and advised his
successor to remain engage with Pakistan, owing to its significance.
Late Prof Rabbani was the head of the Afghan peace council,
established by President Karazai. Primarily the peace council was to
negotiate with Taliban, convince them to renounce the insurgent
activities, and join the Afghan Government for a stable, peaceful and
prosper Afghanistan. Afghan Government and Prof Rabbani had full
backing of Pakistan in this regard. Indeed Pakistan is a worst
sufferer of Afghan instability and wants peace there. Pakistan is a
strong advocate of the fact that, peace in Afghanistan will bring
peace and stability in Pakistan. Indeed, these two nations cannot be
dealt separately in term of stability or otherwise in the region.
Since any setback to peace in Afghanistan will equally affect
Pakistan, therefore, Pakistan cannot wish for Afghanistan anything
that it does not wish for itself. Prof Rabbani was very close and
friendly to Pakistan. He played a significant role during Afghan war
against former Soviet Union and Pakistani Government played a role in
making him as an interim President of Afghanistan. How could Pakistan
be behind such a heinous crime of killing its own friend?
President Karazai should have envisioned the scenario under which
these accusations are being framed against Pakistan and its
intelligence agency, before passing a verdict about this whole
incident. President Karazai too had a backing of Pakistan in winning
the Presidential election at a time once Obama Administration and CIA
declared him and his family as the corrupt most. It was Pakistan then,
which supported him throughout and now on the instigation of CIA and
US Administration, he too is accusing Pakistan. This indeed is the
height of being ungrateful.
Under the prevailing circumstances, all out efforts are being made to
penalize Pakistan for various activities in the region, which it has
never thought of undertaking. Even a layman can visualize, the motive
behind these allegations, after all why President Karazai should fell
short of such an assessment or else he is acting as a tool in the
hands of the occupiers. Why can the Afghan acumen visualize that, who
is the real beneficiary of the Afghanistan remaining an unstable
state? What goods an instable Afghanistan could accrue for Pakistan?
At best, the worst instability, drug and weapons culture, ethnic and
sectarian conflicts or the extra burden of over 5 million Afghan
refugees, now reduced to 2.5 million, who are parasite on our economy.
More than that, the instable Afghanistan has enabled involvement of
dozen of international spyingnetwork inside Pakistan with the intent
to destabilize it, on the pretext of sub-nationalism, sectarianism and
ethnic issues.
Late Prof Rabbani was a peace promoter in Afghanistan, whose indirect
beneficiary was Pakistan, a real sufferer beside Afghanistan itself.
How could Pakistan or its intelligence agency be behind the murder of
such a peace lover? Why can the accusers understand that ISI is
acting as the eyes and ears of Pakistan, promote, and look after its
interests? What interests ISI could have served by killing a Pakistani
friend and messenger of peace. Similarly, this organization cannot
provide, safe havens, harbour and abet the terrorists groups who could
be; Taliban, Haqqanis or other militants, who are killing the innocent
Pakistanis since last one decade. Why cannot the sense prevail among
the Afghan rulers its acumen and their instigators? For how long
should they continue cheating their own people on behest of their
foreign lords? Afghan officials and rulers should be loyal to their
soil and people at least, if not with their well-wisher, Pakistan?
Since Pakistan would be a real recipient of a stable and peaceful
Afghanistan, besides Afghanistan itself, therefore, it is not desired
by many extra-regional powers, who indeed have different agendas. Then
who will be the real beneficiary of Afghanistan, remaining instable?
For understanding such a scenario, there is need to analyse that,
would there be need of foreign forces and foreign spying networks in a
stable and peaceful Afghanistan. A stable Afghanistan would ask all
such foreigners to leave its geographical frontiers, for the sake of
maintaining country's sovereignty, which is highly compromised
currently. In such a scenario, those who have spent trillion of
dollars would have to pack up for their homelands. Had they spent
these heavy amounts for the benefits of Afghan people? No, not at all,
Europeans and US have spent these dollars and even got their soldiers
killed for objective not to the imagination of many analysts even.
They want a permanent say in the region and that is only possible once
there is an uncertainty and instability in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The instability in Afghanistan can be prolonged and maintained only if
peace efforts are repeatedly sabotaged and so-called rulers at Kabul
are kept at defensive, needing the foreign crutches for their survival
all the time. This is indeed the real situation; where NATO and U.S
are the real beneficiary of this entire scenario, hence intend
continuing with the status quo.
Pakistani intelligence agency and armed forces understand this
tactics, after prolong workingwith CIA, NATO and US for so many years.
Pakistan desires that, U.S and foreign elements should let Afghan
people to decide their future themselves. That is why; Pakistan and
ISI is accused and pursued to give this realistic approach of bringing
a peace in Afghanistan, which is equally essential for Pakistan.
Afghan President and people should understand the real motives and
stop playing at the hands of CIA and others who wants to exploit the
situation for their own benefit, rather contributing towards Afghan
peace. Rather accusing Pakistan and threatening it with the UN
resolutions, President Karazai should sit with his Pakistani
counterpart and Afghan NDS chief should meet ISI chief to assess the
real aims and objectives behind this assassination of Prof Rabbani.
Indeed, time has arrived where leaders and those who matters, from
both countries should sit together understand each other's viewpoint,
bridge the trust deficit among them, stop playing in the hands of
global powers and understand the global conspiracies, being hatched
against their motherlands. Hamid Karazai should negotiate with
Pakistan, considering it as the well-wisher and sympathizer of all
Afghan people, rather the supporter of Taliban or Haqqanis only.
Pakistan should talk with Karazai, considering him as the
representative of all Afghan people, rather a representative of a
particular faction, or a CIA tool.
Both sides, however, should put an end to the blame game and work for
the stability and peace in Afghanistan and Pakistan through an
indigenous solution, rather accommodating US and Indian aims. Let us
leave no room for CIA and State Department to either scold Pakistan or
use Afghan soil and its leadership for the fulfilment of its long-term
agenda in the region.
