Pakistan
is burning and the rippling waves coming from
Lal Masjid of Islamabad is fluttering entire
world. Before looking the current scenario let’s
talk a little about the history of Lal Masjid.
This mosque became popular when longest ruling
dictator of Pakistan General Zia-ul-Haq started
loving this place. It was 1980’s era when all
Islamic worlds were fighting against Soviet
invasion in Afghanistan, of course with the help
and blessing of America. Lal Masjid was center
place for this Jihad in Islamabad as the mosque
is located near the headquarters of Pakistan’s
notorious spy agency ISI. Maulana Abdullah was
heading this mosque and his speeches on Jihad
were very famous. Now it is lead by his two
sons, Maulana Abdul Aziz and Abdul Rashid Ghazi.
The mosque always accepted their links with Al
Qaeda and so on with Osama Bin Laden but after
9/11 attacks of US the deny any such connection.
The US fight against Taliban and Al Qaeda drives
them to cut their activities of so called Jihad.
But their anger for US and Musharraf was clear
as they were always against any such act. When
US was in full form they didn’t dare to brag
much but now when US is not much active in
Afghanistan and Musharraf is also in trouble for
so many reasons they have started their
activities and demand. Maulana Masood Azhar of
“Kabul-Hijack” fame had started asking for the
life of General in his recent speeches in Lal
Masjid, which resulted into many failed attacks
on Musarraf. This prompts a war between Lal
Masjid and Pakistani government.
Lal Masjid has very strong links with so many
areas and groups of Pakistan. They also have
strong hold in tribal areas and hence Government
is scared about the outcome of any forceful
action. This battle may ruin the reputation of
Pakistan as a country fighting against
terrorism.
There is very nice saying in Hindi, “Jo dusro ke
liye gaddhe khodta hai ek din woh khud bhi usi
gaddhe me girta hai”, which means if you will
dig well for others someday you will also fall
in that. This is what happening with Pakistan
now. They started this Jihad with the help of US
and now they are suffering from the effect of
this Jihad.

This is not only the example in
Pakistan. Almost entire Pakistan is
having same burning issue. And this
is really very alarming situation
especially for India. Whenever any
Pakistani rulers failed to cure
common people problems, and with the
effect of the same, "GRIHYUDH" bound
to happen they simply divert this as
a war or heavy infiltration in
India, either directly or
indirectly. Now again the same thing
is happening all around the
Pakistan. This neighboring country
is currently sitting on an about to
blast bomb. In this context we need
to be very watchful and careful
because any time any thing can be
happen in our bordering areas. After
all they don't have any best choice
left to curb this type of situation

Hi Saroj,
Thanks for sharing your views.
I do agree with you that whenever
Pakistan will have "GrihYudh" it
will try to deviate it through war
against India. It's very easy for
them to divert people's mind by
invoking this emotional issue of war
against India. Indeed, we will have
to be watchful and careful about it.
I think India should also offer its
help to Pakistan if they need to
curb the current situation. I know
it's tough because they will never
accept it but surely it would be a
good move for betterment of
relationship between both countries.
