Kathmandu: The straight rejection or say refutation of independent and sovereign Pakistan to the Bangladesh “assistance” that was to be delivered soon in the name of the flood victims has raised and left many questions unanswered.
The primary question is “why Pakistan preferred to avoid accepting the Bangladeshi “humanitarian” support meant for the flood victims of Pakistan.
The climatic conditions of this monsoon brought untold suffering to the people of the friendly country Pakistan.
Today if it is Pakistan then the next could be Nepal, India or Bangladesh.
Mother nature doesn’t differentiate between and among nations.
What could have been the reason to reject the aid proposal from B’desh more than the latent political motive?
And the next important question thus could also be asked as to “how the Bangladeshi government may have taken the unexpected Pakistani negation to the B’desh assistance?
Questions galore.
Last but not least the question is “how this Pakistani refusal of the B’deshi assistance” shall have its “impact” on the half-developed friendly ties in between the two Islamic nations — the one of M. Ali Jinnah and the other of Sheikh Mujib.
Notably, it is the Islamic religion that had already brought the two South Asian nations closer to each other even after the “deliberate” split of Pakistan by the Indian machinations in the early seventies.
B’desh intolerance for the Hindus living in the country is a different story.
B’desh is highly sensitive in manhandling the Hindus on one pretext or the other though it claims that the Nation observes tolerance.
In a write-up prepared by DW (Deutsche Welle) on 22 September, “Do Bangladeshi Hindus feel safe” says that “memories of a communal attack during last year’s Durga Puja Festival are still fresh in the minds of many Hindus in B’desh. They have taken measures to ensure this year’s event is a more peaceful occasion”.
The DW further writes, “ Widely circulated footage on social media purported to show a copy of the Quran being placed on the lap of the Hindu deity Hanuman.
The video was seen as insulting by many of Bangladesh’s Muslim majority and provoked hundreds to protest in more than a dozen districts. Houses belonging to Hindus were attacked and seven people were killed.
B’desh must understand that Nepal too has a sizeable chunk of the Muslim population who have lived together with the Hindus for centuries and even prefer the reinstatement of Nepal as a Hindu State. This should explain Nepali tolerance.
The sudden negative response by Pakistan, let’s presume for the sake of political convenience, must have some solid political reasons which may have persuaded the Pakistani establishment to send different signals to the B’deshi nation which, let’s recall the not-so-distant past, used to be an in alienable/integral part of Pakistan.
This means that the so-called “liberation war” was nothing but a cosmetic cover manufactured by the RAW plotting to lure the world community that in effect a new nation in South Asia is soon to emerge.
However, the fact is that entire knowledgeable man who understands the internal dynamics of political science and its “coercion and subversion” theories understand that it was a broad daylight long accumulation of Indian jealousy which killed two birds with a single stone: it not only created an almost satellite nation in South Asia and also weakened Pakistan — its declared and competing rival.
Thanks to that the South Asian region now has two nuclear nations: India and its born rival Pakistan.
Needless to say, the nuclear capabilities acquired by Pakistan are perfect, competing and a corresponding nuclear deterrent to Indian whims which tentatively rules the entire South Asian region mercilessly whether it be Sri Lanka, Bhutan, the Maldives and Nepal which is very close to Sikkimisation by the Indian establishment through the tacit/posted and paid political stooges of the Indian regime.
Nepal has an India comfortable government in place under the Apex Court Orders, to recall. The Chief Justice who brought this government is now himself the target of the India bend ruling elites. Committed sin speaks louder when time is mature.
Needless to say, the new citizenship drive being carried out by “Nepal’s ruling coalition” partners with the intended early Sikkimisation of Nepal so that these inferior political creatures could be deputed as the Chief Minister(s) of the Sikkimised Nepal. Indian machinations are more active in Nepal than in Delhi. Unfortunate Nepal. The menace is the next-door neighbour.
In a nutshell, Nepal is being run by Nepali nationals with “Mera Bharat Mahan” souls or, alternatively speaking, by the corrupt, ugly, and dirty sons and daughters of Gandhi, Nehru and Modi. God bless them all.
The Pakistani bottom line apparently is: though being the victim of the world’s worst flood, the Islamic nation is not receiving any aid or for that matter assistance from Bangladesh (the former East Pakistan as it was called then) for somewhat “valid reasons”.
What is notable here is that Pakistan in recent days and weeks has received “aid donations for flood fatalities” from across the countries of the world, from even Indian Prime Minister Modi’s proxy rulers in Nepal.
But the South Asian nation Pakistan, for a variety of political reiterations and comments made in the recent and not in the so distant past against Pakistan by the Bangladeshi government is what is taken as the prime reason for refusing the acceptance of the aid from its own territory that is now Bangladesh.
The fact is also that Bangladesh, though a country with a clear and visible political tilt towards the Indian regime.
But is Zainal Abedin happy with his own country’s unusual India tilt? Perhaps not.
Pakistani grievances apart, the fact is that Bangladesh is a new South Asian nation carved out purposely by the Indian designers to weaken Pakistan.
The intended birth of Bangladesh was brought into existence in that India needed a ‘helping hand’ in South Asia much similar to the category of Baby Bhutan with the hidden motive to use this new country as and when India landed in trouble either in the South Asian region or beyond.
Dhaka tried many times to approach China, however, Indian authorities denied such “permission”.
Undoubtedly, Bangladesh is the creation of India became clear when Bangladesh joined the Indian plan and postponed the SAARC Summit scheduled for Islamabad.
The SAARC Summit which is still due has tentatively been killed by the regional bully, India, with the express understanding of the countries that are taken as the tails of India.
Indian plan was to kill the regional body SAARC which demanded the consent of some satellite countries, like baby Bhutan, Afghanistan, B’desh, and the Maldives, who could stand against Pakistan hosting the SAARC Summit.
Afghanistan before the Talibani rule was almost a “blind supporter” of the Indian regime which elevated its ranks in the SAARC regional body as against Nepal King Gyanendra’s preferences who advanced the valid political reason that since Afghanistan was having foreign military men on its soil so let’s not invite Afghanistan until the country is free from foreign armed forces.
King Gyanendra’s tough stand caused immense pain to Dr M. M. Singh, then taken as personal assistant of the Italian Queen, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, which prompted him to swear that the Nepal King needs an unceremonious ouster from the Nepali throne and the political developments in Nepal soon went Sonia’s stooge was assisted by his paid and posted stooges in Nepal that run in millions in Nepal.
However, King Gyanendra was able to bring the Republic of China into the SAARC instrument with the Observer Status.
The fun is that the Chinese regime too ditched King Gyanendra when he needed the Chinese help most so since then China is taken as an unreliable partner of Nepal and the Nepali monarchy which is a fact also.
Back to Bangladesh:
The first reason Pakistan presumably attributes to the reiteration of Minister A. K.M Mozammel Haque demanded that each year March 25 be declared as “ International Genocide Day alongside the existing December 9”.
To add insult to injury, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, presumed as PM Modi’s most obedient woman ruling political authority in Bangladesh has already announced March 25 as the “national Genocide day”.
Pakistan has thus compelling reasons to become distressed with the B’deshi actions and reiterations at different intervals of time.
A breakaway country talks about anything under the sun which, as per human psychology is sure to hit its sentiments which found its opening with the Pakistani decision to boycott the flood assistance from Bangladesh.
The Pakistani defiance is genuine as the countries with high morale and integrity prefer to die even rather than bow down.
This is not the end of the story. More is to come.
Bangladesh is on record to have tried many times with India’s backing to appease the International body of the UN to announce 1971 as the “War of Liberation as Day of Genocide”.
Frankly speaking, in the initial days of the formation of Bangladesh, some sort of enthusiasm was noted among the media men in Nepal, (including this scribe) perhaps due to the “dis-information” spread by India’s paid and posted lobby in Nepal and Pakistan then was taken as a baddie to which it was not which got later proved with time.
The speed with which the Martial Law President Zia-Ur-Rehman of Bangladesh (who took over the charge of B’desh after the murder of Sheikh Mujib) had the clear and preferred choice to inch closer with the benevolent King Birendra of Nepal for the sole purpose of having a regional body that could minimize the Indian control over the smaller countries was simply marvellous.
In fact, General Zia and King Birendra jointly gave a formal shape to the SAARC regional body which Madame Gandhi took as the “Gang of Four Grouping” which included, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
In fact, it was not what Madame Gandhi thought of. However, with the formal taking a shape of the SAARC regional body with Kathmandu headquarters Indira Gandhi’s grip on smaller countries in the region got definitely weakened.
Perhaps it is this reason which prompted India to kill any regional bodies that are likely to weaken its clout in the neighbourhood.
The SAARC body is the classic example of India’s inferiority complex which also cuts a joke to India’s “droop” Neighborhood First Policy-a policy that declared itself dead before it took birth sadly.
As stated in earlier articles, India tried many times in the past to isolate Pakistan inside the SAARC body but some wise and sane diplomats from across the region convinced the Pakistan establishment not to take any decision in a haste.
The fact is also that Pakistan has some openings in the Central Asian countries which is why Pakistan is less interested in the revival of India killed SAARC.
Pakistan too with time developed a sort of distaste against the SAARC.
As the current SAARC Chair, Nepal has no commanding authority to press India to let the SAARC Summit happen in Islamabad.
Nepal is a sovereign country but is now under the full control of the former regime which was almost a slave of the former British East India Company and the Samarkand Mughals.
Beginning Zahiruddin Babar and his descendants ruled the landmass for several centuries and later the East India Company invaded the South Asian landmass ( which was not India) and the British queen ruled this vast landmass now what is the Republic of India after the Britishers granted “conditional” independence to this landmass.
The biggest blunder the United Kingdom committed was to grant independence to this rogue country for some understandable reasons.
Ask Nepal, Sri Lanka, baby Bhutan, and the Maldives what India means to these countries.
Life in these countries is hell with the domineering presence/penetration of the regional hooligan who has freshly been appointed as the policeman of South Asia by the lone Super Power, the USA.
Back to Pakistan-Bangladesh ties: Pakistan’s veteran political analyst Safqat Ali writing for “The Nation” on September 21, says that PM Hasina on several occasions has brought issues that more often than not exceed diplomatic conduct/limits between two sovereign nations.
For example, PM Hasina even summoned the Pakistani High Commissioner Imran Ahmed Siddiqui and said that “the pain of 1971 of what she calls genocide shall remain forever”.
Ali writes further that she had raised the issue while addressing the UN General Assembly as back as the year 2017. Sheikh Hasina is the permanent PM of Bangladesh.
Naturally, it is the raising of these extraneous talks both within and without has aggrieved Pakistani authorities and the foreign Ministry diplomats.
An unnamed senior Pakistani diplomat while talking to the Nation says, in his own words, “how can we accept aid from them? Don’t you remember what they say in the UN and elsewhere? They abuse us and claim to have defeated us in 1971. When they are making such political statements, it thus goes against our honor and pride to accept the aid.”
Yet another Pakistani diplomat (Facebook friend of the Telegraph Nepal portal) wrote through messenger (FB) that there was a consensus that the B’deshi aid must not be accepted as Pakistan will manage the issue with the help of friends across the globe.
I recall in the recent past, Pakistan and Bangladesh bilateral ties were excellent and it was given to understand that PM Hasina is all set to make a friendly visit to Islamabad.
Pak High Commissioner Imran Siddiqui even hinted to this scribe through Messenger that Hasina is likely to pay a short visit to Islamabad soon.
More interesting was, I recall, the visit of President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to Dhaka in the initial days of the B’deshi creation.
Bhutto was greeted in a grand manner in Dhaka which took the then Indian HC, J. N. Dixit by surprise.
He later wrote in his voluminous book “My South Block Years” that HC Dixit while returning to his office in Dhaka from the Airport after customary greeting the visiting dignitary from Dhaka airport. Dixit’s official car was stormed with stones, and greeted by torn shoes and sandals by the local Dhakaites.
Dixit then said that India now has two Pakistans in South Asia: Islamabad and Dhaka. Dixit also talked of identical religions which must have worked.
However, with the deep penetration of the RAM management, we are given to understand that Dhaka is almost taken by the local residents as the puppet of India which got certified recently when the country’s sitting Foreign Minister A. K Momen approached India straight and appealed for substantial help so that PM Hasina captures power again?
For sure, scholar Zainal Abedin must have felt immense pain learning the refusal statement of Pakistan of the approaching B’deshi aid.
Zainal knows who is running and controlling the Dhaka establishment as he is the most vocal scholar in Dhaka who claims that the deep penetration of the Indian RAW spy agency is what has corrupted the B’deshi regime and has thus pushed Dhaka closer to Delhi to act like a proxy of the Indian regime. That’s all.
