Musharraf - the liar

Musharraf, the liar of Pakistan, has spoken again in his baseless tune of propaganda.  Hesitatingly, he says he is sure that ISI of Pakistan has evidence against Mr. Jadhav when it is on record that the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and Defense Minister of Pakistan have stated that there was no evidence against Mr. Jadhav.  So, it appears that Mr. Musharraf has access to some hidden source which is beyond the reach of Pakistani government officials. Mr. Musharraf also baselessly touted his victory in the Kargil war when he was a Military Chief in Pakistan.  The final outcome of the Kargil is also on record which very clearly showed an Indian victory.  It proved that Pakistani forces under Mr. Musharraf's leadership had to withdraw from the Kargil hills after suffering badly in the hands of Indian forces.  That is another lie. He lied also about Osama Bin Ladden, when he stated many a times that OBL was not in Pakistan.  He lied also when he told the world that D-Company is not hiding in Pakistan.  His another lie was caught when he said that his country spent all the funds received from the USA to kill the jihadis whereas he diverted those funds to strengthen his military to fight against India. In short, he has lost his trustworthiness in the eyes of world's leaders, and that is the reason he is not allowed to enter Pakistan and at one time recently USA declined to issue him visa too. 

Mr. Abdullah's comments are very divisive.  He says that stone pelters are just fighting for nation.  I think what he wants to say is that they are fighting for a separate nation - separate from India.  J & K state has been suffering for such a long time that it is ridiculous that politicians cann't find a viable solution to mitigate the sufferings of people in that state.  My personal feeling is that it is due to the greed and politics which is a big stumbling block in achieving an ultimate objective to bring peace in that part of India, and Abdullah dynasty is equally responsible for this.  Three generation of Abdullah family ruled that state.  If they love their people so much, if they really wanted to improve an economic condition of that state, they could have done it by inviting outside investment thus creating meaningful jobs for their citizens. We all know that an Article 370's existence in the local Constitution is a big hic-cup to achieve this objective.  But the prudence dictates that the constitution is always amendable and it ought to be amended as the circumstances change.  It is not an issue carved on a stone, it is changeable and needs to be changed.  However, instead of working with the local and central government to find ways to creating jobs by repealing an Article 370, he is suggesting to invite foreign powers to solve this issue.  What a shame.

The Chief Minister of J & K has hit the nail on the head while attributing civil and political problems in her state to unemployment.  The youths in her state are frustrated due to failed economic policies of the state government.  When people are employed, they feel responsibility towards their family members and also it awakens in them a sense of social responsibility which means very little or no time to demonstrate in the street and damaging and destroying public property.  Therefore, in a nutshell, the crux of the problem is unemployment, and unemployment can be remedied by inviting and creating opportunities for outside investment.  Here comes a kicker.  Outside investment will not come to J & K unless an Article 370 is repealed from the state Constitution.  The state government ought not to pay any attention to the movement floated by the separatists and supported by the government across the border.  When unemployment issue is handled satisfactorily, these separatist movement will be automatically foiled.  These separatists exploit unemployed youths.  Therefore, the state government should keep aside party politics and work with the central government in deleting an Article 370 and openly invite outside investment in the manufacturing sector.  This is the only way to overcome civil and political unrest in the state.  It may be a bitter pill to swallow for the state government, but it is the one which one has to swallow for bringing peace and tranquility in the region.  The state has been suffering for too long, now it is the time to put everything to rest and work towards uplifting the victims.
