Little do the Pakistan's government and people realize the gravity of the dangerous situation and repercussion the Pakistani community's abroad could face,especially the large number of them settled, studying or doing business and last not least Britain legislators of Pakistan origin, in UK, due to the utterly baseless charge made by the British Prime Minister. David Cameron, just to please India, for a few billion dollars business interests!
The Pakistan's honorable Prime Minister has very rightly questioned as to why did not the British Premier speak about human rights violations in the Indian Held Kashmir and further stated that Pakistanis had lost more lives then Nato and US put together .
Kudos for the ISI Chief for canceling his scheduled visit to UK and upholding the dignity of the country.Also to be hailed/lauded by mentioning here are the names of the political leaderships, who have assailed these remarks with strong condemnation.They include Mr.Altaf Hussain of the MQM and Punjab Chief Minister.Mr.Shahbaz Shari and Mr.Imran Khan,Chief of his party Tehreek-e-Insaf.
However it is a disappointment that the head of the state the honorable President of Pakistan is quite ?.There has been no comment as yet from the Presidency.
If viewed closely he has compromised the security and put the lives and business of the Pakistanis at a serious risk every where in the world.The security and lives of the Pakistanis have been endangered by such a wild accusation.Just imagine the situation as to how insecure the Pakistanis abroad must be feeling.What about the taunts which they would have to face at the hands of the Indians in particular and the rest of the non-Pakistanis ?.
This is not a matter to be taken lightly. It needs to be condemned and challenged at all forums. The British Prime Minister should be put to strict proof thereof his accusation or should retract his statement with an apology to the Pakistani Nation. Nothing less then that should be deeming to be acceptable to the government of Pakistan.In case it doesn't happen the our government should start to seriously review its relation with regards to Britain.
I agree that the matter should be politically dealt with, but without any bending backwards.Pakistan integrity, solidarity and sovereignty are very clearly in severe danger.The writing is visible on the wall without an invisible ink being used.
Compare India's given role in the war on terror and you will observe Pakistan is the destructive bad guy in the eyes of the Afghan and our own people in the 2 Provinces,Pakhtunkhawa and Baluchistan bordering Afghanistan.Since logistics and US bases and Drone attacks etc are all carried out from here.Whereas, India the good guys sitting clean with 1 Embassy and 17 consulates and umpteen sub-consulates based in that poor country?, pouring in heavy cash flow for constructive ventures and sitting in their lap the Afghan government to win over laurels.Pakistan is facing the worst energy crisis and India gets the civil nuclear facility by the US and when China and Iran step in to help they are objected too.
I would recommend that in case the apology or the retraction are not forthcoming then Pakistanis should totally boycott commercial dealings with UK and their products within our home markets .There are many other countries besides Britain with whom the whatever trade potential we have can be done.Why should we always remain at these peoples mercy?.The British have left the sub-continent ,but sadly our mindset and fear of them still lingers on.We must come out of that illusion.
It appears that Prime Minister, Mr.Cameron while making such unsubstantiated utterance about Pakistan is probably unaware about the role his own country had been playing while extending all types of facilities to dissidents arriving from all around the world to open shop and export terrorism to their respective countries of origin.
It is on the soil of his Majesty that individual, groups and Non- British political parties have bases from where they freely operate,control and initiate many movements leading to toppling of government, cause chaos, mayhem and anarchy in their respective countries, where they had been unsuccessful to do so. Why and how these dissidents are funded and through what channel the finances to operate flow to them in Britain? Is a million dollar question which should be put up to the respected, British, Prime Minister Mr. David Cameron?
While concluding I append below a note written by me some times back, related to the questions raised above:
"Is Britain a safe haven for exiled, dismissed or ousted political leaders?
I have always been quite curious that whenever Political leaders or a dictator, be it a deposed President or Prime Minister, an insecure political party head or an ousted dictator is forced to leave his country he/she, always beelines straight for London ?.Most of them being from the South Asian country’s.
What attracts them to choose this particular destination ? Makes one wonder !.Could it possibly be,Madame Tussuad famous wax museum or the London bridge ?The same one which we all seem to have have been so brainwashed with during the school going day’s with repeated recitation of the old nursery rhyme attributed with it and which went as “London Bridge is falling down,falling down…..”No, I don’t think so.Then it could be the world famous cricket grounds or maybe the beauty and splendor of the Queens, Buckingham Castle.Whatever may be the appeal which draws them to England one thing is certain it attracts them like bees in search of sweet stuff or source.!
The most strange and intriguing aspect of it all is, that they are always welcomed with open arms! They are given a free hand and facilitated to open their respective political offices, to carry out their political activities. Which at certain time’s could be deemed as interfering and attempting to disrupt within their respective country’s day to day smooth running and governing affairs. Most of these overseas activities are made possible through press conferences and public address via satellite tele-conferencing, to huge gatherings of their activist and sympathizers in their place of country.
In, a nutshell their respective shops do usual business within the safe haven of its Majesty’s, soil. Come to think of, on the contrary, I have yet to see a British or a European political leader heading to any other country even under extreme threat or fear of being executed etc and operating against their respective country's government in such manner and I am sure if it did happened they would immediately put up a formal protest to the host country for allowing to happen and or would go to the extent of seeking his or her extradition for a trial before their country’s court of law. Doesn’t this smack of maintaining double standards?.
This makes me wonder then why Britain is so liberal in accommodating them gladly and with such greatest of ease and not those who are keen to travel to their country to attain higher educational or professional studies or business opportunities. The latter groups it is observed comparatively have to undergo a great amount of difficulties to clear many painful and cumbersome rules and procedures to get desired clearance to acquire a visa for entering her Majesty’s, Great Britain.
The way my layman brain perceives this is, that possibly, British intelligentsia or their ally’s find these political heavy weights presence in their country as most advantageous and beneficial for their own political aims or intelligence reasons to attain a easy access through them to gain in-depth knowledge and latest information pertaining to the developments taking place within those country’s, to whom these exiled or self exiled leaders belong too?.And if necessitated or required use the asylum leader’s links to promote their vested political agenda and interests there through their good sources!
I could be wrong in my perception to, maybe it is solely due to humane reasons! What do you think?"
