Proxy War After the humiliating defeat of 1971 and the creation of Bangladesh Pakistani rulers had understood that they cannot defeat India in the battlefield in the straight confrontation. So they initiated proxy-war against India to destabilize it. The result of it was the origin of terrorists who were imparted religious teachings and thus their minds were washed. During the dictatorship of General Zia-ul-Haq, Pakistani military and its secret agency ISI thrusted terrorists into India, especially northern states of Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir. Since his rule this process was followed by various Pakistani rulers. Role of ISI Cold war era indirectly helped the Pakistani policy towards India when thousands of terrorists ware trained in Pakistan with financial and military help of Anglo-American block to fight and defeat the Soviet forces in Afghanistan. US secret agency CIA used Pakistani secret agency ISI to provide training and arms and ammunition to the Islamic Jehadis. At that time these terrorists were considered the heroes of Pakistan and America. Since then Pakistani rulers have used these terrorists to achieve tactical objectives. When Soviet forces left Afghanistan, the Pakistani government played an important role for the establishment of Taliban rule in the war-torn country. America had always supported the Pakistani maneuvers in the region. It used ISI services to its full extent to destabilize the former Soviet states. Pak-Taliban Relations When some suicide bombers of Al-Quaeda blew up the World Trade Center buildings and US military headquarter in Pentagon, US leaders especially President George Bush realized that the same terrorists have become the biggest threat to the US existence which it had nurtured during the war against Soviets in Afghanistan. Despite their promise to help and participate in the ‘war on terror’ Pakistani leaders kept close relations with Taliban leaders and their sympathizers. This policy was followed for many years but they could not keep the world community in dark for long time. Results India has suffered most from the Pakistan supported terrorism. Indian leaders had repeatedly warned Pakistani rulers that the same terrorists who are being used by them to destabilize India, will, one day become the biggest threat to the stability and existence of Pakistan and this prediction has proved out to be true. Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Benazir Bhuto was murders by the same terrorists who used to be the heroes of Pakistan in the past. These terrorists [...]

Zardari Admits Pakistan Sponsored Terrorism
July 10th, 2009 
Aman Statement For the first time Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has admitted that for the achievement of some short-term tactical goals terrorism was created and sponsored by the Pakistani government. Zardari gave this shocking statement during a meeting with former bureaucrats and civil servants in the President residence on Tuesday night. He also said that after 9/11 these terrorists have started to torment Pakistan like ghosts. He said that these terrorists became very strong inside the country and became a national challenge. These terrorist organizations had started to destabilize even the elected governments. This did not happen because the bureaucracy was weak or it had given up the war against terrorist but it had happened because it itself had created terrorism and had nurtured it and it was done for the achievement of some short-term goals. He said that we must speak truth and accept the reality. When the incident of 9/11 happened they started to traumatize Pakistan. He accepted that today’s terrorists were the heroes of past. Zardari said that Pakistan is in the forefront in the war against terrorism and have ‘pledged to eliminate this scourge’. It must be learnt that a day before this statement Zardari had announced that Pakistani military will aim at those terrorists whom it had helped during the proxy war against India. Inside Pakistan Presently, Pakistani military is carrying out operations against Taliban in the North-West Swat valley and is planning to start operations against Tehrik-e-Taliban chief Batulah Mehsood in the South Waziristan. He has also said that terrorism in Afghanistan and Pakistan is the outcome of the cold-war era. Pakistan was used against the Soviet attack of Afghanistan by USA. This war nurtured dictatorship and terrorism in Pakistan. The cold war ended but by then it had created another world problem which became very powerful in the coming years and became a global threat. Terming the present situation very dangerous, Zardari had said that Pakistan can not face any kind of confrontation and for it all the political parties should unite and follow dialogue to solve their matters. Zardari’s statement had created flutters inside Pakistani administration and has also raised eyebrows of some military generals. After it, we will see the damage control process by the Pakistani bureaucrats who will explain his statement in totally different terms. War against Taliban India has charged Pakistan of sponsoring terrorism [...]
