[Reader-list] Liquid jihad

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Pawan
 
Thanks for sharing the weblink from Eco-Times.
 
The exporters of Jihadi Terror from Pakistan to India will use all kinds of stratgems to impassion people in Pakistan (or in India) against India. Not unexpected, it would be true to their form.
 
What is little understood (and perhaps little know amongst Indians unless they are monitoring Pakistani Media) that these accusations against India of “diverting the waters of Pakistani rivers.”  or "stopping flow of water to Pakistan" are regularly mentioned in Pakistani Print and Television.
 
The persons who make these accusations are from what is fondly often mentioned as 'Civil Society' in Pakistan and many of them would have little if any interest in exporting Jihadi Terror to India.
 
But anyone can sees where all of this goes. When the Jihadis use 'water' as an excuse for terror strikes against India, there would now be swathes of ill-informed Non-Jihadi Pakistanis who would possibly think that the Jihadis are doing it in the interest of Pakistan.
 
Coincidentally, just a few days earlier than the Eco-Times article, I had made the following comment in a conversation with Yasir:
 
"  Inspite of the propaganda against India in connection with the Indus Water Treaty, there is no credible evidence that India has stopped flow of waters to Pakistan at any time including when they were at war with each other.
 
Pakistan’s Indus Water Commissioner Jamaat Ali Shah has this to say "Apart from the Baglihar dam, neither Pakistan nor India has had problems with the Indus Water Treaty." 
 
(When I watched the interview on DAWN TV, his exact words were "India has never stopped the flow of waters")
 
It is an excellent interview where Shah talks of the nature of concerns Pakistan has had and is likely to have by the very form of the Indus Water treaty.

"Besides, the interrogation of the recently-arrested Indian Mujhaideen
cadres including Ahmad Khwaja, Shahzad and Salman, has revealed the
ISI-LeT’s plans to use local IM terrorists to launch attacks in Delhi,
Bangalore and Mumbai. While the government has recently arrested many
fugitive IM leaders and cadres from Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and a west
Asian nation, the security agencies fear that some modules may already be
lying dormant across Indian cities, waiting to be activated for a future
terror attack.

Even in Kerala, from where terror suspect T Nazir said several terror
modules were recruited, fundamentalist political outfits such as PDP are
said to be closely working with ISI and Lashkar-e-Toiba. Though leader Abdul
Nasser Madani is not active, his aides are ensuring that new jihadis are
recruited and logistics arranged for ISI-sponsored terror aimed against
India."
