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!”
