Islamabad, Pakistan: November 28, 2008- Dr. Raj Baldev, Cosmo Theorist –

The peace loving nations are worried after terrorists’ attack on Mumbai, what may happen to the developing relations between India and Pakistan is any body’s guess, since India feels that the attack is organized by Pakistan?

If India is able to produce proof of terrorists’ attack organized at the instance of Pakistan, it shall carry deep consequences. It has worried the United States, the new President elect Barack Obama.

Even if Pakistan denies, it can’t be ignored since the operation was well designed, and is considered an attack on India rather on Mumbai alone.The Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has also spoken very harsh words, which came out from the core of his weeping heart.

Irrespective of the facts whether or not Pakistan govt. is directly responsible for this great attack, it shall definitely create doubt in the mind of American lobby, and that’s not good for Pakistan.

It may be the foul design by Al-Qaeda, since they killed Benazir Bhutto, the wife of Mr. Zardari, present President of Pakistan, who, in my view, would in no circumstance indulge in such a big foul game oficially or unofficially, particularly when his own country is in deep economic crisis and he himself prefers India’s friendship.

America wants India and Pakistan to come on proper friendly terms, but this dent of terrorists attack on Mumbai should be properly scrutinized and India and Pakistan should do their collective efforts to find out who is actual responsible for  this terrorists’ attack?

It is important even for America’s foreign policy in terms of India and Pakistan. President elect Barack Obama and the new leader of Central Command, Gen. David H.;Petraeus also want both countries to act as friends in this region to help build peace.

Since India’s elections are fast approaching, it may take some strong action and may firmly blame Pakistan Govt. The Hindustan Times, leading Indian newspaper, has also reported on Thursday that India’s security agencies believe  the multiple attacks in Mumbai were the foul play by an Islamic militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, operating out of Pakistan.

According to the newspaper, the special secretary at the Home Affairs Ministry, M. L. Kumawat, said that Lashkar-e-Taiba was a “distinct possibility.” 

Manmohan Singh, India’s Prime Minister, has also categorically pointed out that the attack is designed by Pakistan.  In such circumstances, it is Mr. Zardari’s national and international duty to clarify his stand so that  his govt. may not be misunderstood.
On the contrary, Pak should help India to punish the terrorists, who have attacked Mumbai and by doing so the bilateral relations between the two countries might escape a severe fracture.  

I wish that there should not be any hand of the Intelligence Agency of Pakistan in this bloody attack, since the relations between two countries are very important for both countries and their people, and it is President Zardari, who can save the position by helping India to punish the terrorists.
