I just saw a news report on a website from News 1. It gives an insight of what the Pakistani politics conceives of the innocent lives lost in the Terror attacks in Mumbai. The person putting forth his view was Zayed Hamid, a defense analyst from Pakistan. The most intriguing part was his reference to the terrorists as Indian Assets, who were diploid on the basis of a strategy by the Indian political parties. India according to them is letting innocent lives be lost so that it can have strong reasons to blame Pakistan for nurturing terrorists, a planned attempt. My Blood boils on his words, I do not expect the politicians to be sane when commenting on this issue however I see no ethics as to why they should force their views on the citizens of Pakistan. The citizens already oblivious about the insides, when talk the tongue of the politicians, it should not be surprising, I see no justice in inflicting infected views on the public hence instigating them to hate a country as a whole.

The blame game takes itself to a different level when you conclude that the so called Indian assets are being used as weapons against Pakistan and a good possibility of RAW being a part of this devastation. I carry no political experience hence cannot comment on the steps to be taken but why do the people suffer. Where are we today when the loss of innocent lives is being used as bridges to point fingers? The Indian militants are being held responsible for the terror attacks when the evidence and the terrorists in custody speak a different language. It is so believed that Indian terrorism is bigger than what Mumbai saw. It is America that supports India in its stance and hence CNN telecasted the horrifying incidents throughout the day, concluding the smart move of Indian Media, How immature and unethical is to think that.

Terrorism exists to prove a point; the other politically motivated incidents stand to prove another point. The BJP wants to seize this opportunity and blame the Congress for their incompetence rather than being constructive. In this entire scenario why do we loose our lives, why do I leave my house with a fear of not returning? When all the avenues of peace have been exhausted one can resort to aggression, would you not agree? It is ridiculous how the Pakistani channels are telecasting these views and letting the politicians talk their tongue. I have had the chance to speak to various Pakistani citizens who are so happy to know that you belong to India; you talk as 2 people regardless of anything. I have spoken to people who are glad when told you are from India since it feels closer than another country, having very good conversations and showing the same dignity we show to them. Why can that not be, why do these views drain down to the citizens and they be forced to think otherwise.

We are human beings, and respect every other. We know what wrong one does can’t be blamed on the other. Let us smile at each other and smile because of the person that you’re smiling at and not what nationality he or she belongs to.
