Vajpayee Defeat and Babri Masjid

Source: Jang (Urdu) December 20, 2000

FAULTLINES EXPOSED!

The above lead story was published by Jang Urdu and is no less than a kicker designed to stand out from the rest of the page tempting the reader…there are two main ideas behind this article…

 

Firstly it relates the defeat of the Vajpayee government to the Babri Masjid episode

 

Secondly the Indian opposition approved the ruling against the three ministers involved in the Babri Masjid affair

 

However the newspaper fails to give any plausible explanation regarding the relevance of the above article that has been blown up to its hilt! However the implied meaning of publishing this newsline is to

 

·         Influence the Pakistanis that Indians despite being a Hindu majority are compassionate and considerate towards Muslims and have passed the ruling against the three ministers involved in the Babri Masjid

 

·         That there is no religious discrimination in India as compared to “fanaticism’ of Pakistan

 

·         That the Indians are very much careful about the worshipping places of other religions

 

·         That even if Pakistan were not there, the Hindu Majority would have considered the Muslim culture and values the same way.

 

The above feature is no less than a Pakistan-India Confederation Propaganda!

Pretty Hate Machine – Nadeem Farooq Paracha’s “Nine Inch Nails” In Pakistan’s Coffin

 

Fault Lines Exposed!!!

 

What does this piece seek?

 

·         Show that Islam is a superimposition on the people – it does not come out of their hearts

 

·         Stress ethnic identities at the expense of their Muslimness so that Pakistan is split into different nationalities

 

·         Create nationalities – a favorite theme of the secularists – and then talk of the impossibility of Pakistan being one nation

 

·         The News insinuates Punjab nationalism as a reality but then realizing the absurdity of it makes it “subtle”. Here the method is to provoke the Punjabis b abusing them so that when they react, Pakistan becomes meaningless. This is the same old game of abusing West Pakistan as exploiter. The Punjab now substitutes West Pakistan. Besides, there is another aspect to it. Take Islam away from the people, reduce them into regional and ethnic groups, and then pitch one against the other.

 

·         The Pakistani state is cosmetic – a theme propagated by Indians. Here again one can see secularists standing in league with India.

 

Nadeem Farooq Paracha – a psychotic bigot who haunts the secular press (with no thanks to the eternal despot Imran Aslam of the News International) continues to ensure that Pakistan gets the beating by deeming it as a “cosmetic state.”

Pakistan On The Even of New Millenium – Najam Sethi’s Pro Indian Speech

Najam Sethi’s Speech in India

Fault Lines Exposed!!!

What does Sethi’s Speech in India Say?

Islam is a false ideology and so is the Muslim consciousness. The Ideology that matters is economy.

Sethi gives advice to India: don’t flex your muscles against Pakistan as you will get a similar response. If you want a great power status in South Asia, integrate your economy with Pakistan. Once it becomes dependent, you can eat the whole hog.

The Clear and the Manifest

Both points are interlocked making a sly formula for finishing Pakistan. The underlying concern is the Muslim consciousness, which seeks space for expression and hence  geographical and political independence. Muslim consciousness is thus antagonistic to merger with non-Muslim (secular) consciousness. So what should be done? Sethi offers solution: substitute Islamic consciousness with economic consciousness. Pakistanis will loose drive as an independent people and will get lost in the India continent.

Second, Sethi wants India to discard the warpath with Pakistan because that arouses the fighter in the Pakistani psyche. Instead, he suggests the route of economic integration. A Pakistan dependent on India will be unable to resis or fight back.

Sethi received a lot of flak from the Pakistanis on calling Pakistan a failed state. But neither ISI, which hosted him in the comfortable surroundings of Islamabad, not the Nawaz government, which was settling score with him on personal grounds, bothered to read his infamous speech in India. Sethi’s speck was a recipe for eliminating Pakistan. He could have been sentenced to 8 years in prison under section 123-A Pakistan Penal Code. But who cares! The courts are concerned about their contempt and the politicians about their projection in the print media, as if all else is banality. Their attitude almost says “Hell to Pakistan!”

The Secular Press at Pakistan’s Throat

Albert Camus: If you do not have a dream, invent one.

 

People watched the President of All Pakistan Newspaper Society (APNS) say these words on the television and were struck by the irony that was palpably manifested. A man who invents almost every other day a new nightmare for his nation had the cheek to talk of dreams for his people.

 

This is a strange country. Nothing alarms its rulers, nothing bothers its officials other than the pursuit of their vain desires at the expense of public money.

 

The information environment which is part of the security environment is left to saboteurs and seditious elements that have made the state vulnerable to the enemy machinations. Press, which on other nations stands for the state interests, undermines the foundational values of the nation’s genesis almost every other day and still it creates o stir. It speaks of breaking the state, merging it with India and it cause no ripple in the smug pool of our power apparatus. There seems to be nothing sacrosanct. left, neither the state nor its ideology. Everything is open to ridicule and subversion.

 

Where is the government, where is its profligate, plump bureaucracy, where are its intelligence agencies with their secret funds and powers? Where are the courts? Is their contempt higher in value than the subversion of the state and its insult? Have all of them gone deaf, blind and dumb? Desensitized and dehumanized, they stand discredited because power without love for the state and its honor is a moral equivalent of obscenity.

 

What pains us that a nation that could have become a superpower on its own strength is being cut limb to limb, it has been mercilessly left along in a paralyzed state of uncertainty and paranoia. Like an orphan it has no guardian, with none to wipe tears of blood from its fear stricken face.

 

 We urge the President and Prime Minister and high ranking officials to please stand up for Pakistan. External Security makes little sense if the internal security is not assured and the press cleansed of anti Pakistan secular elements. You are concerned about the lies, which the pres makes about your government; instead, you should be worried about what they write on Pakistan. India will not dare to fight you on the borders, it has launched its foot soldiers, disguised as intellectuals and editors in the secular press to undo Pakistan. You want to attack the enemy. Here is the material. Section 123-A PPC is your weapon. If you cant, then this nation is not going to believe in your high-sounding rhetoric of a strong and safe Pakistan.

Jang’s Disrespectful Attitude Towards Quran!

FAULT LINES EXPOSED!

 

The above headline is a classic example of the pro-Indian mindset of daily Jang (Urdu). The above title that is splashed across the main page has no relevance to Pakistan to the extent that it is given such publicity. However one needs to understand the subversive message communicated by this daily:

 

·         The saints and spiritual guides of Muslims and Hindus are one and the same thing with ‘no’ religious demarcation

 

·         Pakistanis and Indians are one cultural group who are split only in terms of religion

 

·         It is commendable to cover the shrine of “Baba Dileep Singh” with Quranic Verses. In others words, the holy grails of Islam can be used for “inter-faith harmony” by sacrificing them at the shrines of non Muslims. For the secular newspaper, the respect for Quranic Verses is less as compared to covering shrines of Muslims

 

“We Are One” – the famous slogan of the secular press in Pakistan is also promoted through publicizing cross border movies. This is not something which is involuntarily done, in fact it serves a subversive purpose of destabilizing the state of Pakistan by removing its separate identity and dissolving it with India.
