Why are we bending over backwards to accommodate our %u2018friendly%u2019 neighbours? It is okay to be peace loving, and that%u2019s what sets us apart from them, but to be magnanimous to the extent that we have been with them and consistently overlook the harm that our Country has been subjected to, is not only foolish, but is also a crime against our own people, especially those who laid down their lives in wars and terrorist attacks.
We need to take stock, sit back and think rationally as to what we are gaining from associating ourselves with Pakistan. I am aware that champions of %u2018peace process%u2019 would argue that India is gaining a lot from this alliance, in that there will be a let up in cross-border terrorism and Pakistan will round up the culprits on their side of the border. It%u2019s been a few years since mutual dialogue was established and the %u2018peace process%u2019 was initiated. May I ask, apart from uniting a few long lost relatives in the two countries, has it brought about ANY reduction in terrorist activities since then? If anything, it%u2019s quite the opposite. Terrorists are striking at will at some of our most dear and strategic public places. Pakistan may vehemently deny any involvement in these attacks, but there is no doubt as to the source of these terrorists, their machinations or indeed ammunitions.
Doubtless, not the whole of Pakistani society is involved in subversive activities. They may be largely peace loving like we are and I am not pointing fingers at all of
