- Pakistan is a failed country known to perennially produce terrorists from across the country, with the sole intention of fomenting trouble in India is a known fact that gets ascertained now and then. Pakistan is a hotbed of fundamental fanaticism, never failing to surprise the global community with its resilience to unleash debilitating destruction on the Indians is well documented over the decades as well. The number of terror incidents witnessed in India over the last few decades has always resulted in the loss of innocent lives. The successive Indian governments have handled such a doctrine in varied forms. The present dispensation at the Centre has proclaimed that any act of terrorism in the country would be treated as an act of war.

- However, Pakistan never seems to learn from its mistakes despite the global community and several watchdogs placing the country under scrutiny. Of course, Pakistan has also been credited with creating its own Frankenstein monster that has started consuming the countrymen in the last few years in varying degrees. As such, Islamabad blaming India and Afghanistan for terrorism on its own soil of late is laughable. Mind you, Pakistan continues to live in a state of delusion. After a suicide bombing outside an Islamabad court claimed the lives of 12 people, Shehbaz Sharif quickly pointed fingers at India and Afghanistan. Foolhardy is the word to put such utter nonsense in its right place. This is laughable and a poorly disguised attempt at deflecting blame.

- Pakistan’s own failings are apparent. For a country that practically wrote the playbook on maintaining double standards on terrorism, nurturing terror purveyors while claiming to be victims of terrorism, it’s rich that it now tries to implicate others for its own sins. There was a time in the 1950s and 60s when foreign experts were studying Pakistan as a possible South Asian success story. But the disastrous measures of its leadership in 1971 in response to the liberation movement in what was then East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, served a body blow to the very idea of Pakistan. Today, there are continuing similar colonial policies in Balochistan, provoking a powerful movement against Islamabad’s exploitation.

- Further, during the Soviet-Afghan war, Pakistan hosted tens of thousands of mujahideen fighters to curry favour with the US. The Pakistani Taliban is their progeny. Recall also how bin Laden was found holed up merely 100km from Islamabad in Abbottabad. Pakistan thinks it can play all sides and be friends with both the US and China, turning to each other whenever it needs to be bailed out. However, it overlooks the fact that national strength is rooted in skilled people, institutions, and a robust economy. All three failed to develop because their military had other priorities. Today, Pakistan is a military dictatorship masquerading as a civilian regime. Even the fig leaf of a hybrid regime is coming off after Asim Munir getting lifetime immunity. Pakistan will continue to live in a delusion.
