India’s failed diplomatic onslaught against Pakistan at the international front exposed

India’s failed diplomatic onslaught against Pakistan at the international front exposed

On the occasion of the anniversary of attack on the Indian parliament,Indian prime minister vowed, `we would never forget the attack on theparliament’. India accused Pakistan not only of the Parliament attack(2001), but also the attacks in Mumbai (2008), Pathankot and Uri (2016)and Pulwama (2019). India used these attacks to create difficulties forPakistan at the Financial Action Task Force.

The ruling party along with Rashtraya Swayemsevak Sangh rejoiced in thehanging of Afzal Guru, a Kashmiri. The Valley protested violently. Guru’s`accomplice’ Kashmiri, Professor SAR Gelani was acquitted as his lawyer wasable to convince the court that Geelani’s two-minute conversation with hisfamily on the eve of Eid was brazenly twisted by someone who knew little ofthe Kashmiri language. The police translated the three words as ‘what haveyou done’. The Kashmiri equivalent for the police translation is ‘*yeh kyakorua*’ which the lecturer did not use in his conversation.

By the time, the court acquitted the innocent professor; he had alreadysuffered two years of solitary confinement in the death cell.Interestingly, the prosecution’s misinterpreted transcript lasted for twominutes while the conversation tape took only one-minute’s duration. Theprofessor was subjected to torture and he did not survive long after hisacquittal.

The conversation between S A R Geelani and his brother Shah Faisal was inKashmiri. Not to speak of linguistic mastery, the person intercepting theconversation on December 13 did not know a single word of Kashmirilanguage. The next day, the Special Cell brought in an ‘expert’ totranslate the conversation.

But the Special cell’s expert was a person, who knew only tidbits of theKashmiri language, not intonations or linguistic nuances. He was educatedonly up to the sixth grade. He could only read and speak Hindi, not writeit. As such, his spoken translation of the conversation was converted intoa written text by another person.

Afzal guru was innocent

In a startling disclosure, NDTV dated January 15, 2020 reported, `DavinderSingh had faced allegations in the past that it was he who sent parliamentattack convict Afzal Guru to Delhi and arranged logistics for theterrorists who attacked parliament on December 13, 2001’.It added, `Whether arrested Jammu and Kashmir police officer Davinder Singh had anyrole in the 2001 parliament attack could be a part of the investigationsagainst him, a top officer said on Wednesday. The case has been handed overto the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Davinder Singh, a DeputySuperintendent of Police, was arrested on Saturday in a car with threeHizbul Mujahideen terrorists on the Jammu-Srinagar highway.

Guru’s letter to his lawyer reveals that he was a victim of conspiracy

Guru wrote a long letter to his lawyer that reveals how Davinder Singhtortured Kashmiri `suspects’ to get confessions.

*Porous Pulwama evidence*

Several questions, given heretofore come to mind about India’s `chargesheet’ on Pakistan: (a) Why did India bank on the FBI when it alreadypossessed all communications from Pakistan? For instance, it interceptedthe whole talk between military dictator Yahya Khan and his coterie duringthe East Pakistan/Bangladesh crisis. It intercepted Musharraf’sconversation with his generals while he was flying back from China toPakistan. India blamed. Isn’t there a collusion between the FBI andIndia?(b) Why did India blame Pakistan even before the forensic-lab andNational Investigation Agency investigation report? (c) Why are therediffering reports about the weight of the RDX used? The Indian Expressspeculated `High-grade RDX explosive, weighing about 80 kilograms, was usedin the suicide attack’. The Hindu estimated 100-150 kg.(d) Why was aprivate vehicle allowed to approach the scene of incident in violation ofthe CRPF Standing Operating Procedures? The CRPF’s Standing OperatingProcedure required movement of up to 100 persons in a convoy. Why has theCRPF been moving such convoys, comprising more than 2,500 personnel each,on the Srinagar-Jammu highway. In the past fortnight, two such convoys hadmoved from Jammu to Srinagar. The latest was on February 4, with a convoyof 91 vehicles and 2,871 personnel’. (e) Why could the convoy not spot thelonely suicide vehicle trailing behind? (f) How did the terrorists know theconvoy movement was delayed by two days? (g) How did they remain undetectedwhile loading the vehicle with explosives the whole day? (h) Not onlyWhatsApp but also landlines have never been accessible even inHindu-majority Jammu (occupied Kashmir). Then how come the FBI has told theNIA about the WhatsApp group operated by a member of the terrorist outfitJaish-e-Mohammad who was in contact with the people who carried out theattack on Pulwama? (i) According to the FBI, a man called Mohammed Hussainwas operating the WhatsApp group, from Muzaffarabad. But the number washowever registered under the name of Jameela from Budgam’ (INDIA NEWSNETWORK, August 27).

*Conclusion*

Evidence in all the incidents, including those mentioned above, isslipshod. It appears India is meticulously acting upon Tzu’s andKautliya’s principles to hoodwink their own and foreign people. Shebelieves in Hitler’s propaganda theorem: `The bigger the lie, the betterthe results. But, in the modern age of technology and shrunken globalvillage, lies get exposed, soon or late, like Indian Chronicles. Hitler’stheorem is a bit anachronistic.

Richard Deacon says, ‘Truth twisting…unless it is conducted with cautionand great attention to detail, it will inevitably fail, if practiced toooften… It is not the deliberate lie which we have to fear (somethingpropaganda), but the half-truth, the embellished truth and the truthdressed up to appear a something quite different’ (*The Truth Twisters*,London, Macdonald & Company (Publishers) Limited, 1986/1987, p. 8). Hegives several examples of disinformation including subliminaldisinformation by which the truth can be twisted so that the distortion isunconsciously absorbed by something which both television and radiocommentators have subtly perfected’ (p. 9, *ibid*). In the USA, the CreelCommittee, through false anti-German propaganda, turned pacifist Americansagainst Germans.

The US and India see Lashkar-e-Tyyaba behind every `terror’ act in Kashmiror elsewhere in India. But, documentary analysis shows secretive Mumbaitrials were translucent (Davidson, *Betrayal of India: Revisiting the 26/11Evidence*). To blindfold public opinion, India even serialized a drama onMumbai attack (India Today February 26, 2020).. What did become of DavinderSingh’s investigation?
