Pak playing 'blame India game' to absolve itself of responsibility to tackle terror: Experts | Having witnessed five devastating terror strikes in the
last couple of days, both the Pakistani civilian leadership and the intelligence have blamed India for the attacks, which according to analysts is a deliberate
attempt on part of Islamabad to wash their hands off taking the responsibility
for initiating stern action against the actual perpetrators. Analysts believe
that the government was blaming the recent attacks on India in an effort to shift
attention from their inability to provide adequate security cover to people of
the country. According to Badar Alam, a senior editor at Herald magazine, a leading
Pakistani monthly, political leaders are intelligence officials are working according
to a plan, which is centred around the 'blame India game'. "Both the intelligentsia
and the government are behind the latest trend (of blaming India) because it absolves
them of responsibility of doing anything to stop it," The Christian Science Monitor
quouted Alam, as saying. According to a leading security analyst, Hassan Askari-Rizvi,
while Islamabad has continuously been blaming India for the attacks, it has hardly
any evidence to prove the allegations. "The idea that India may be behind the
terror attacks is a very widely shared perception, but there's hardly any evidence
to substantiate that. They (the militants) have attacked civilians in the past.
I think the government consciously creates that confusion," said Rizvi. "It is
easy to communicate (this idea to) people who are already somehow convinced because
of religious arguments that everyone is against Pakistan because we're the only
Muslim nuclear power.This is a faith-based argument, not an argument based on
reason," he argued. |
