Indian envoys to Pakistan, US meet Rajnath Singh

NEW DELHI:INDIAN High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria and Ambassador to the United States Harsh Vardhan Shringla on Wednesday met Home Minister Rajnath Singh, amid the heightened tension between the two countries, officials said.

The terror attack in Pulwama prominently figured during the 20 minutes meeting between Bisaria and Singh, a home ministry official said.

Bisaria was called back by the government for consultations after the Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed when a suicide bomber of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-mohammad rammed a vehicle carrying explosives into their bus.

According to sources, discussions on counter diplomatic-offensive against Pakistan were held during the meetings.

However, a home ministry spokesperson described the two Indian envoys meeting the home minister as “courtesy call”.

Lieutenant General KJS Dhillon, commander of Army’s Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, said on Tuesday that anyone who picked up a gun would be eliminated.

He also requested mothers of Kashmiri militants to persuade their sons to surrender.

In October 2017, Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Javed Bajwa used the Chambers of Commerce platform in Karachi to convey to Islamabad’s neighbours on either side that their destinies are inextricably linked. “We are making a deliberate and concerted effort to pacify the western border through a multitude of diplomatic, military and economic initiative. We have also expressed and demonstrated our genuine desire to have normal relations with India; however, it takes two to tango,” he said.

The much-feted Bajwa doctrine on Islamabad’s pacifist approach towards its neighbours exploded on three consecutive days this month, posing serious questions on the nature of the Pakistani state itself. On February 13, a car borne suicide bomber belonging to anti-shia Jaish al-adl group, which has its Sunni roots in Pakistan, targeted a bus transporting Iranian revolutionary guards in Sistanbaluchistan province, killing 27 troopers.

The next day, Pakistan based Jaish-e-mohammed group used a brain washed car borne bomber to target a CRPF bus in Lethpora, Kashmir in Pulwama killing 40 personnel and injuring many others. On February 15, the Afghan government wrote to the United Nations to complain that the Imran Khan government was trying to hold talks with the Taliban behind its back. The three separate incidents reveal that Pakistan based groups and their ISI handlers are out to wage Sunni jihad against their neighbours while talking about peace for the region.

There is a deliberate attempt by these groups, aided, abetted and nurtured by the Pakistani Army and its sword arm, to destabilize the country’s neighbours through bloodletting and force an international crisis. The groups involved
