    So, Atal Behari Vajpai Prime Minister of India while addressing his troops in Kashmir has declared that a decisive fight is going to take place very shortly. Thus he has declared an undeclared war on Pakistan. Pakistan has never been in such a situation before. Do or die is the only option.

    The most essential ammunition to win a war is not only the soldiers with ammunition, but also the nation with a high sense of morale. It is for the leaders to build this morale and get the nation behind him through his conduct. Unity amongst the Peoples of Pakistan irrespective of their party affiliation is the crying need of the hour. For this the leader has to be above board. President Pervez Musharraf did invite the political parties for a briefing on the military situation in Kashmir.

    The reason of the ARD refusal to attend that meeting as the President of Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) where out of the country. This is not enough when September 11 holocaust took place in New York and Washington. President Bush sent a special plane to bring back his Predecessor Bill Clinton from Australia for consultation.

    It would not have been infra dig for General Pervez Musharraf to send a special aircraft each for Benazir Bhutto and Mian Nawaz Sharif to bring them back for immediate consultation, no impediment in this regard would have been insurmountable. Unfortunately this did not happen. Mr. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto walked to the gallows with pride and did not ask for any clemency, her daughter must walk into his foot steps instead of gallivanting in Dubai, if she plays her due role in this hour of crisis she will go down in history as Razia Sultana, Chand Bibi and Rani of Jhansi, in letters of Gold. Benazir Bhutto is facing a jail sentence, while Nawaz Sharif is suffering banishment from Pakistan. It would have been matter of dignity for Benazir Bhutto, not to put any condition and lead the country in chains. After all Nelson Mandella led his people for 27 years from behind the British bars, when he came out of the prison, he was received by no less a person then Her Majesty the Queen of England.

    Every Pakistani, whether he is a Pathan, Sindhi, Panjabi, Balochi, or Muhajir is a Pakistani Soldiers. The leader should only know how to mobilize them and ignite the spark of national pride and honour amongst them. In order to find a plausible excuse to start aggression against Pakistan, much stress is being laid on the so-called infiltration across the border into occupied Kashmir from Pakistan Side. This may be very palatable for our American ally who is also flirting with India at the same time. This so-called infiltration does not speak well about the efficiency of the Seven Hundred thousand Indian Armed Forces stationed in occupied Kashmir. In the presence of such an armed might in occupied Kashmir no infiltration worth the name can take place, the world has to take notice of it, India has taken a leaf out of the Israelis book on Palestine and wants the same kind of military adventure in Kashmir and not content with the police action, as they are doing now.

    Military history relates that wars never remain localized, as Pakistan has experienced in 1965 and 1971. The nation needs leadership and direction, Great Britain declared war in Germany on 3rd September 1939, the British expeditionary forces were sent to France which suffered a great set back and the allied forces had to stage a withdrawal, which they called a successful withdrawal to save their face, this was a colossal military disaster for the allied forces. Mr. Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of Great Britain at that time of war.

    It was in 1940 that a great dynamic person in Winston Churchill replaced Neville Chamberlain as Prime Minister in Great Britain. He promised to the nation blood, sweat, toil and tears and he gave a clarion call to the nation, ” COME THEN LET US TO THE TASK THERE IS NOT A MOVEMENT NOR AN HOUR TO BE LOST “. The nation rallied behind him like a Wall of Steel. He traveled far and wide all through the world to muster support for his cause and won the war. The media termed him as a fighting leader of a nation at war; this is what is required at the movement in Pakistan.

    Let us rise above ourselves, and our party’s interests, and live and die for the nation and the country. All development projects must halt and all funds be directed towards the war efforts, every able-bodied man be conscripted into the Armed Forces. Punjab has taken the lead in organizing their civil defense institutions, this should be done in every major town and city of Pakistan, and the nation should feel that they are facing an enemy across the border. Let us not be complacent at this juncture.

    The role of United Nations Organisation has been most deplorable in every crisis, they only wait and see and act at the behest of the Americans. It is hoped that Pakistan has learnt a lesson by now that Americans only work for themselves and that is while Pakistan is the main ally in American war against the invincible and unseen terrorist, they cast an askance glance on Bharat as well. They have already been helpful in dismemberment of USSR and have now dug in the Central Asian States and Pakistan. Their great foe is China, against whom the American are also flirting with Japan, Pakistan and would at large should frame their foreign policy taking in view the presence of the octopus in world politics.

    Is it not a fact that President Bush was well informed in advance of these attacks on September 11, 2001 but he kept it as a well guarded secret in order to utilize the incident not only for his second term as President, but also for the suzerainty of United States of America over the rest of the world and establish it as the only Super Power by having complete control over South Asia. Our Leaders must tell the infidels of India that we are imbibed with the spirit of Islam and will repeat the performance of Jang-e-Badar. Where 300 people defeated an Army of 1000 infidels. We had in Badar the leadership of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), now time has come that a Leader inspired with this spirit must come forward and lead the nation today. I am confident that every Musalmans of Pakistan is an emblem of the Holy Prophet (SAW). So let us unite under the flag of Pakistan and shun the enemy into it own grave.

    On August 11th, 1947 Quaid-e-Azam declared that today we seize to be Muslim, Hindu, Parsi and Christian, we are all Pakistani. We are grateful to Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee for making us Muslims first, Muslim second and Muslim last, and the two nation theory is being reestablished at the hands of the Indians on account of whose atrocities and discrimination the Musalmans had to create a homeland of their own out of the clutches of Hindutwa. This may be a precursor of raising freedom fighters amongst the rank and file of the Musalmans to create a further homeland for themselves in India. If our Hindu Brethren had the same magnanimity of giving their brothers their due, there would not have been any necessity of propounding the two nation theory and create homeland for themselves.

    It is a matter of historical record that during the Muslim rule in India, there never was a demand from Hindus for a separate homeland because of the fair treatment for which the Mogul Emperors had created a record, which goes in history as Adle-Jahangiri. It is their narrow minded policy and discrimination of minorities by Hindus that led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947. Mr. Vajpayee would be better advised to look after the last piece of the sub continent that he has got, otherwise Tamils, after having free from their enterprise in Sri Lanka will take their right for separate homeland in Southern India. It was a Tamil girl who killed Prime Minister Rajive Gandhi in suicidal bid.

    Mr. Vajpayee’s war hysteria is more a political move to keep Bhartia Janta Party in power, which will eventually be the cause of its over throw from power, even the back bone of Bhartia Janta Party Mr. Ball Thakery has declared that India’s war against Pakistan is going to cost them heavily and will not be in the interest of India. So, open the dialogue to resolve the crises, as dialogue is the only way to live in peace and let others live in peace.
