The Call to Truth

The other news item relates to the secret high security around the house of Osama bin Ladin in Abbottabad (Pakistan). On May 3, 2011 America had Osama bin Ladin killed in a targeted attack. Now, according to the news published in the Times of India, dated February 27, 2012 (p. 18) the Pakistani government itself had the residential complex of Osama bin Ladin demolished on 25 Feb 2012. The remains of this demolished house were taken to some distant place. Both the news items show that the violent movement started in Kashmir in the name of Jihad has reached its natural end. In news item, the words ‘for the time being’ are purely diplomatic. In the true sense, they only mean that Pakistan has permanently abandoned this futile issue. It has finally decided that even the signs of violent struggle have to be obliterated from Pakistan. A case in point is the demolition of the residence of Osama bin Ladin in Pakistan. The so-called Kashmir war was not the voice of the Kashmiri people: it was a war which was totally exported from Pakistan. Now Pakistan, under the compulsion of the situation, states that it has ceased its Kashmir agenda. In such a situation, there is neither any justification for nor any possibility of continuing the so-called Kashmir war. Now the Kashmiris do not have a number of options before them. Now there is only one course for them to follow and that is to put an end to the use of weapons and the continuance of militant politics and to build their future through a peaceful struggle. It has been conceded that the war of Kashmir waged by Pakistan has been entirely counterproductive. In this war Pakistan has lost much but has failed to achieve its goal. For Pakistan to disengage from the destructive war, a decision based on realism shall have to be taken. What Pakistan most urgently needs is a change in thinking; that is, to abandon negative thinking and opt for positive thinking. As such it is a must for Pakistan to openly declare that waging war on the Kashmir front was a fatal misadventure. Without openly admitting this, Pakistan is not going to benefit in any real sense. Admission of one’s mistake would start off positive thinking in Pakistan. The people of Pakistan had become the victims of unrealistic thinking due to their negative psychology. A declaration of this kind would give them a new lead. They would start experiencing the benefits of positive thinking. Their national policy, which has so far been based on unrealistic thinking, would then be based on realistic thinking. If this could happen, it would without doubt be a revolutionary event for Pakistan as well as for its allies. The Call to Truth
