The target of this action of polluting or poisoning\ncould be food, water, human minds, passions, thoughts, feelings and countless\nother things physical or metaphysical. I remember, somewhere in the first week\nof May 2018, a Pakistani scholar Professor Shazia Ghaffar presented a paper at\nthe 3<sup>rd<\/sup> International Conference on Integrated Management for\nSustainable Development at Tunisia, Sousse. The presentation paper said, Water\nis the most precious resource on the earth. Unfortunately, advancement in\ntechnology is resulting in the deterioration of quality of water by\ncontaminating it and this contamination is a direct threat to the food chain\nwhich guarantees the quality of human life.\u201d It means advancement in any field\nof life does not make sure the enhancement in quality of life. A bitter truth\nis that things are getting painfully complicated rather contaminated with the\nso-called human progress. The sublime social values and serene human traditions\nseem breathing their last. Just for trivial worldly gains we are contaminating\nrather distorting the pure essence of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terrorism\nis also an act which is contaminating and disfiguring all societies. Though terrorists\nare no doubt the most heinous characters in this rapidly contaminating world\nbut more horrible are the faces of those who patronize the terrorists; the master-minds\nbehind every act of terrorism. If we analyze the case of the Indian Naval\nOfficer Kalbhushan Yadav, we find the master-mind behind is the government of\nIndia; always supervising and patronizing him in accomplishment of his heinous\nplans. It is a more painful reality that the government of India tried all its\nbest to label this terrorist by labeling him as innocent. Thank God that the\nInternational Court of Justice (ICJ) did not fall a prey to the crocodile tears\nin case of Kalbhushan Yadav. The recent verdict of the International Court of\nJustice against Commander Kalbhushan Yadav has simply shown to the world that\nno terrorist deserves any sympathy or kindness. In other words the honourable\ncourt has given a line of action to the world that the terrorists must\neverywhere be treated as criminals as they are responsible for contamination of\na society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Founded\non June 26, 1945 in San Francisco, California, United States, the International\nCourt of Justice is ranked as the principal judicial organ of the United\nNations. Its primary functions are to settle international legal disputes and\ngive advisory opinions on legal issues referred to it by the UN\u2019, says a report\non ICJ. Taking the Kalbhushan case to the International Court of Justice is\nitself a step of the Indian government largely criticized everywhere. People\nare asking if the arrest of Kalbhushan Yadav was really an international legal\ndispute. The story of Commander Kalbhushan is very simple, without any legal\ncomplexities or diplomatic confusions. Kalbhushan is a proven officer of Indian\nsecurity services who traveled to Pakistan for more than 17 times with a fake\nidentity. He himself admitted in his confession statement after his arrest that\nhe was on a mission assigned to him by Indian Intelligence Agencies. He being a\nvery competent officer performed his duties marvelously and set up a very integrated\ntype of net-work in Pakistan to disturb the peaceful social atmosphere of the\ncountry. His target areas were Balochistan and Sind specifically. He was arrested in the Pakistani province\nof Balochistan. The government of Pakistan provided his mother and wife an\nopportunity of meeting him in a very respectable manner. According to the\ninternational rules and regulations, a terrorist could not be given the\nfacility of meeting his country\u2019s consular, so this terrorist was also not\ngiven this facility. A legal case was registered against him after very careful\ninvestigations. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to death.\nCommander Kalbhushan filed a mercy-petition which is still under consideration\nof the honorable President of Pakistan. In short Pakistan did no injustice to\nthis Commander of the Indian Security Services. Even then, the government of\nIndia dragged the matter to the International Court of Justice but there was\nnothing the International Court of Justice could do. &nbsp;The Indian government simply wasted its time\nand money over a useless matter. Certainly the Modi government will have to\nclarify its position to the people for this wastage of time and money. Pakistan\nbeing a peace-loving and international law-abiding country would certainly keep\nin mind the directions given by the ICJ in Kalbhushan case not as a compulsion\nbut simply for the supremacy of international harmony. Recently, keeping in\nview the same sublime spirit, the Government of Pakistan has decided to grant\nconsular access to the Commander Kalbhushan as Pakistani law does not stop it\nfrom doing so. Hopefully this kindness of the Government of Pakistan would be\nportrayed as a \u2018legal-success\u2019 in India but realities are realities and they\ncould never be buried under the dirt of false hue and cry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALI SUKHANVER Contamination is a term used for the action or state of making or being made impure by polluting or poisoning.
