Document nails Islamabad's lie
A recent document prepared by the psychological operations branch of the
Pakistan army, for its personnel, which specifically
says that "Muslims will fight Jehad in India'' has belied Islamabad's
insistence, prior to Clinton visit, that it is only giving moral, diplomatic and political
support to the Kashmiri Mujahideen.
The document, which unequivocally states that the Jehad is India-specific, is
apparently intended to boost the sagging morale
of the Shia and Ismaili-dominated Northern Light Infantry, drawn from
the Gilgit region after the Kargil disaster, says Asia Defence News International which
obtained the document.
The document, in a 'disingenous' attempt to elicit devotion to duty, says
"holy peole have said that a martyr feels only that much pain which you
feel if stung by an ant or mosquito" and "a human being who would remain awake
on one night of Jehad will earn what he would earn in 300 years of dedicated worship to
Allah."
A well-known commentator on Muslim politics and culture in
Pakistan, Shamim, in an open letter to Gen Parvez Musharraf, told him that Jehad is
un-Islamic, according to ADNI. "The problem with a proxy war is that you cannot
declare it and Muslims are not supposed to lie and cheat. So a Muslim state, particularly
one with pretensions of being Islamic, simply cannot wage a proxy war," Shamim said
in his letter. (UNI)
