ALI SUKHANVER<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

Pakistan\nhas recently shot down a spy drone of India and India has arrested a spy-pigeon\nof Pakistan. The owner of the pigeon Habibullah, a Pakistani villager, has\nwarned the Indian authorities to refrain from \u2018victimizing innocent birds\u2019. He\nhas urged the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to return his pigeon,\ncurrently being held in India on charges of spying. According to the details,\nHabibullah lives just 4km from the border between India and Pakistan and\npigeon-flying is his hobby. He owns a dozen pigeons. All his pigeons wear a\nring in a leg and a plastic-paper piece is attached with every ring which bears\nhis mobile phone number. During the Eid days, one of his pigeons lost its way\nback to home and \u2018crossed the sensitive border\u2019 between the two countries.\nSomehow the Indian security authorities caught that innocent bird and started a\nwell organized campaign against Pakistan blaming that Pakistan has once again\nsent a spy-pigeon to India. This is not for the first time that innocent birds\nare being dragged into the battle-field of two nuclear countries; in May 2015, India\nhad \u2018arrested\u2019 a white pigeon after it was spotted by a 14-year-old boy in a\nvillage close to the border. Next year in October 2016, another pigeon was\ntaken into custody after it was found with a note \u2018threatening\u2019 the Indian\nprime minister, according to the Indian media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blaming\nthe neighbours and just adding fuel to fire with the help of such childish\ngimmicks has become the part of the temperament of those few war-mongers in India\nwho simply desire to see the world without peace. Though such people are very\nlittle in number but somehow or the other they are in a dominating position\nthere. It is not only with Pakistan, India\u2019s relations with all other\nneighboring countries are also always at the verge of war. Most of the\nneighbours complain that India keeps on trying to interfere and intrude their\nterritory by using all fair and foul means. \nExperts say that the Modi government would have never shown such a\nbrutal hostility against the neighbours if US were not at its back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nhas always been a misconception of the Mr. Modi and his political followers\nthat all their right or wrong actions would be legitimized with the backing and\nsupport of the US government. Same has been the mode of thinking of\nAfghanistan\u2019s President Mr. Ashraf Ghani. Under the supervision of Ashraf Ghani\ngovernment, the Afghan forces always try to provoke Pakistani Forces by\nthrowing bomb-shells across the border. These shells not only cause damages to\nthe houses of innocent civilians living near the borders but also snatch the\nlives of children and women living there. After every such incident some of the\nAfghan and Indian media agents start maligning the actual situation by blaming\nPakistan. They misreport that shells were thrown into the Afghan area by\nPakistan and the people killed as a result were the Afghanis not Pakistanis. In\nshort Mr. Modi and Mr. Ghani and their followers rank US as a never-declining\nultimate authority. Now all their dreams seem shattering as a series of\npathetic events and incidents has proved that US is not the ultimate power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today,\nthe so-called world super power US is passing through the ever-worst phase of\nits history in shape of racial-riots. On 31st<\/sup> May 2020, the\nWashington Post said reporting on the worsening law and order situation in US,\nA day of widespread protests devolved into a night of fire and fury across the\nnation as tensions boiled over in dozens of American cities. Police cars and\ngovernment buildings were set aflame, windows were shattered, stores were\nransacked, monuments were vandalized and authorities in riot gear fired pepper\npellets, tear gas and rubber bullets at demonstrators who had amassed to\nprotest the death of George Floyd, a black man killed at the hands of police.\u201d The\nUS is already badly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and these racial-riots\nare simply adding a lot to the misery. At present, more than 24 cities are\nunder curfew and about 12 states are being controlled by the National Guard.\nAstonishingly in spite of all these security measures, reports say, scores of\npolice officers and protesters have yet been injured many of them are in\ncritical condition. Even the White House is not safe at the hands of the\nprotesters as there have been reports of serious clashes between Secret Service\nagents and demonstrators outside the White House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nis also something very alarming that after the racial riots and after the\nCovid-19 pandemic, the country is facing the worst type of losses to the\neconomic structure. Shopping-Malls are being burned, shops are being looted,\nhouses demolished and vehicles smashed. The entire situation is so depressing\nand disappointing particularly for the business community that America\u2019s one of\nthe giant business corporations The Target has decided to close 175 of its\nstores across 13 states. This corporation owns and operates more than 1844\ndepartmental stores throughout the country. Its head-office is in Minnesota,\nthe same Minnesota where from the story of riots started. Certainly this step\nof the Target would lead to the unemployment of thousands of workers. In such a\nhorrible situation of the present and with a dark, gloomy picture of the\nfuture, how US would be able to patronize Indian hegemonic designs in the South-Asian\nregion and Afghanistan\u2019s baseless hostility against Pakistan; this is an\nimportant question. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
