What are you waiting for Dr.Singh?
Of all people Amar Singh has thretened Dr.Singh that if he does not go to war with Pakistan, Samajwadi Party will pull the rug from under his feet. We have been reading statements attributed to a galaxy of world leaders condemning Pakistan for cross border terrorism culminating in the daring hostage drama that unfolded in Mumbai about a month ago. US secretary of state visited both India and Pakistan while advising restraint to Indian leadership simultaneously advising Pakistan to nab the culprits. The indian leadership called it a coup of all sorts when UN proscribed LeT. Press heaped praises on the diplomacy of this government. Our Minister for External Affairs Pranab Mukherjee was issuing warnings every day to Pakistani leadership. Pakistan reaction has been rather cool. They confer the highest civilian honor on Mark Boucher when he comes there to stress the importance of arresting- not handing over those responsible for the mayhem. US has not openly sought handing over of those perpetrators despite mounting evidence to the complicity of Pakistani establishment. UPA seeks extradition of Akhtar traded by BJP Government for Kandhahar hijack and not Dawood Ibrahim or the present actors in the sordid drama. Some cheap politics of congress brand. May be because Dawood is suspected to have links with one of the tallest leaders of an alliance partner, UPA Government is dithering on seeking his extradition.
Dr.Singh had been bold enough to state that Pakistan has been following terrorism as an instrument of state policy. But when he will pick up courage to order an aeril bombarding of militant hide outs in PoK. What are you waiting for Dr.Singh ?
