It has been 75 years since India and Pakistan achieved independence from Imperial Britain amidst a paroxysm of sub-continental violence that killed hundreds of thousands of Indians throughout the partition. Right this moment, India beneath Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an even bigger economic system than the UK with the quickest fee of financial development for a giant nation on the earth and Pakistan is scraping the underside of the financial barrel. Regardless of all this, Britain nonetheless has delusions of an imperial energy and has a colonial mindset in the direction of India and nonetheless performs the Af-Pak area with a conventional bias in the direction of Islamist Pakistan and Rawalpindi GHQ.
Whereas UK state broadcaster BBC with instructions from the overseas workplace selected to rake up the 2002 Gujarat riots regardless of Indian Supreme Court docket’s clear chit to PM Modi with a watch in the direction of 2024 elections, the Pakistan and UK Military have determined to collectively host regional stability convention in England to debate amongst different issues the so-called Kashmir dispute.
Whereas neither UK nor Pakistan has any locus standi in UT of Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Military Chief Common Asim Munir on the invitation of the Rishi Sunak authorities is scheduled to handle fifth joint UK-Pak stabilization convention at Wilton Park between Feb 5-8. Wilton Park is an govt company of UK overseas workplace apparently offering a platform for strategic discussions. Co-hosted by UK Military Chief Gen P N Y M Sanders, the convention is themed “Regional Stability in South Asia: the return of geopolitics and different challenges.” The convention will give attention to the Ukraine warfare impression on EU, UK, and its consideration for Pakistan, which has supplied weapons and ammunition to Ukraine secretly utilizing RAF plane. The duplicitous function of Pakistan within the Ukraine warfare should not be forgotten because it was then Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan Niazi who was feted by President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on February 24, 2022, when the Russian strongman determined to invade neighbouring Ukraine. The opposite matters of dialogue are the function of data operations, cyber-attack in warfare, evolving south Asian regional stability, safety challenges and an replace on the Kashmir dispute.
When the Modi authorities determined to abrogate momentary Article 370 and Article 35 A within the context of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019, the UK had expressed its considerations to India and advocated the scenario to stay calm between India and Pakistan. UK performed a double recreation within the UN post-abrogation Article 370 as on August 16, 2019, it sided with Pakistan’s iron brother China and Kuwait and wished the UN Safety Council to debate the Kashmir concern however US would don’t have anything of it and stated the matter needs to be mentioned between India and Pakistan bilaterally. Within the second spherical of assembly on the identical day, UK and once more gave the impression to be on the facet of Pakistan in wanting a dialogue on the difficulty however US and France once more got here to India’s assist. Pakistan’s principal supporter China once more tried its luck within the UNSC in January 2020 however by then UK beneath the sturdy strain of the Modi authorities and the US determined to vary tack and advocated the difficulty to be mentioned bilaterally between India and Pakistan. The UK has additionally been taking part in a double recreation in terms of the designation of Pakistan-based terrorists by the UNSC’s 1267 Sanctions committee on the behest of the US, France, and India. By discussing the so-called “Kashmir dispute” subsequent month with Pakistan Military Chief Gen Asim Munir, the UK is attempting to play the function of a 3rd umpire, for which there isn’t a provision beneath the principles of the Kashmir recreation.
Despite the fact that Gen Munir and Gen Sanders will focus on regional stability in South Asia, the function of then British Chief of Defence Workers Gen Nick Carter, who referred to as murderous Taliban as nation boys, after which Pakistan ISI chief Faiz Hameed in throwing Afghanistan’s minorities particularly ladies beneath the bus can’t be forgotten. The 2 had been instrumental in cooking up a secret settlement with the Taliban in Doha, Qatar that led to the disastrous Taliban take-over of Kabul on August 15, 2021, amidst homicide and mayhem. Britain clearly had learnt no classes from the 18th century Anglo-Afghan wars, but it was the principal advisor to the US in handing over Kabul to the unconventional Sunni Pashtun power which has turned Afghanistan into Islamic Emirate with no function for ladies or minorities. The credit score for the Islamic radicalization of your entire Af-Pak area goes to the UK and Pakistan, which as we speak is struggling by the hands of ISI’s demon little one on the Durand Line dispute with terrorists belonging to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan taking up Gen Munir’s power with the most recent US weapons.
Whereas Gen Munir is predicted to echo the feelings of Shehbaz Sharif’s regime on the so-called Kashmir dispute at subsequent month’s convention in UJK, the Modi authorities has no time for both of the 2 with Jammu and Kashmir taking speedy developmental strides nary a stray violent incident orchestrated by Pakistan primarily based terror teams and their over floor staff within the Valley. Clearly, UK and Pakistan are nonetheless delusional about Kashmir and nonetheless select to not learn the writing on the wall of recent India.
