Where will Pakistan’s hunger for more evidence end?

After the Mumbai terror attacks on November 26, the only captured terrorist, Ajmal Kasab, has confessed to being a Pakistani from Faridkot. He has confessed to training in Pakistan, he has given details of his accomplices. In fact, these have been checked and confirmed over and over again.

The villagers from the village in Faridkot to which Kasab belongs has confirmed this. Later, his father, Amir, too has confirmed that Ajmal Kasab is indeed his son. All this while, the Pakistani establishment has kept on insisting that India has not given them enough evidence to act. Now, what kind of evidence do they want? What kind of evidence do they consider as credible?

Kasab has even written to the Pakistani High Commission in New Delhi to provide legal aid to him to fight his case since he is a Pakistani. Is this not enough evidence? The only terrorist captured alive has confessed the truth. If the others had survived, they too would have made similar confessions.

In any case, all the ten terrorists believed to have been involved in the Mumbai terror attacks have since been identified by the Indian security agencies. Their addresses have been traced back to the Punjab province in Pakistan. Each one of them has been confirmed and corroborated across the border. Now, we know that each one of them was a terrorist from across the border. That is 100% result. What more do they want?

We all know that the Mumbai terror attacks originated on Pakistani soil. The whole world knows that. Yet, Pakistan keeps denying that.

This might be interesting. It is not only India which is pissed off with Pakistan denying its involvement in Mumbai terror attacks. It would appear that even Lashkar-e-Tayyeba is equally agitated with this. The Pakistani establishment uses LeT operatives and dumps them after the operation. The LeT trains its operatives on Pakistani soil and Pakistan feigns ignorance. After a successful operation, Pakistan denies it.

Probably the LeT itself is sick and tired of this. That is why they sent all the terrorists for the Mumbai terror attack with proper identification papers on them. Otherwise, there was no need for the terrorist come to Mumbai with correct addresses which could be traced back to their homes in Pakistan. Probably, the LeT too wants to nail the Pak lie!

Noted columnist Jug Suraiya has put the dilemma of the Pakistani media in a beautiful way in The Times of India (Dec. 17).
The investigative journalism in Pakistan is at its creative best. It has come out with a brilliant theory that the lone terrorist under custody, Ajmal Amir Kasab, is in fact an innocent Pakistani citizen who in 2006 was arrested in Kathmandu.

Earlier, the media in Pakistan had claimed that, like 9/11 which had been a ’Zionist plot’ to discredit Islam, 26/11 was a ”Hindu conspiracy’, involving Indian Hindus, which had gone awry, thanks to Indian incompetence.

Never mind the mounting evidence. Never mind transcripts of telephone conversations between the 26/11 killers and Pakistan. Never mind satellite images clearly showing the existence of clandestine military-style training camps deep inside Pakistan. The Pakistani media can easily explain away such ’evidence’ as pure fabrication, concocted by Indians who are aided and abetted by their new-found friends, the Americans and the Israelis.

Unlike the Indian media who are often accused of being informational quislings and traitors to the national cause, the Pakistani media have long put country above credibility or coherence. But though they are doing much in this regard, are the Pakistani media doing enough, are they doing all they can? And the answer, regrettably, is ’No’. Forinstance, why haven’t the Pakistani media gone to the root of the problem to prove that leave alone actual terrorists and terrorism, the very term ’terror’ is of Indian manufacture, and bears the ISI imprint, as in Indian Standards Institution and not the other one? Why haven’t they pointed out that the word ’terror’ is derived from the Latin ’terrere’, which means to frighten? And What is Latin? A linguistic by-blow of Sanskrit, of course, Gotcha.

I am sure you saw how the new media reacted to Indian suggestions that the plot for Mumbai terror attack originated in Pakistan.
