Pakistan Cannot Match India militarily: Pakistan Defence Minister

on Wednesday, 29 June 2011

In an interview to BBC Urdu, Pakistani defence minister, Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar, said that it is impossible for Pakistan to bring its military power on par with India, as it cannot afford it during current financial scenario.

Stressing on removing India from the list of biggest threats to India, he wanted to prove there is no point of considering India as an enemy as we cannot match them or afford to be involved in any conflict with them. He said supporting it with the fact that India's economy is six to seven times bigger than Pakistan and trade five to six times bigger.

He further said that, in earlier days, the capacity of Pakistan and India to fight was twenty to twenty two days. But with the advancement and development in India, India can fight for more than 45 days.

The defence minister is one of the few ministers in Pakistan who believes India, as an enemy, is just a hype and is unnecessarily kept in the list of most threatening to Pakistan. 

The minister was positive on the development and progress in the talks between the two nations.

"Slowly the process of meetings has started. People are going across the border. Nobody had ever thought they could walk suitcase in hand to Amritsar via Wagah but that is the reality now and it is happening," he said.

India didn't initiate the war, even after the attacks on Parliament and on Mumbai were traced back to Pakistan. While India won the hearts of international organizations by being so patient, Pakistan had to suffer diplomatically. 

Heads of various nations came to India last year including,France, Germany, Russia, China and USA, and signed various agreements but refused to visit Pakistan or to sign any agreement. 

The failed diplomacy started to show its results when China, the most trusted friend of Pakistan, said that it will support the entry of India in UNSC for permanent seat. Pakistan was depending on China, as it is the only country in UNSC which it considers as all weather friend. On the other hand, China didn't want to risk its billion dollar worth trade by arguing with India on this point.

It is important for Pakistan to join hands with India in trade, in tourism and in various exchange programs that will help improve the economic conditions in the country, as only a happy and economically sound Pakistan can crush terrorism from its root.

Kabul Hotel Attack; Six Talibani Blew the Hotel; Pakistan against American Presence

on

Recently talks have been going on supported by Pakistan to promote America's withdrawal of forces from the Afghanistan-Pakistan region. Internal politics of America is also pushing the government to pull the forces back. America has spent already a lot on this war, with the success in the form of Osama's death.

Pakistan supports the withdrawal of American troops from the region as American presence is suffocating Pakistan which wants to regrow its influence in Afghanistan so that it can concentrate well on its eastern border with India.

Afghanistan on the other hand believes that presence of foreign forces in the country is neither good nor bad, but they have found a wrong target. The President Hamid Karzai believes that foreign forces will never get success until they shift their target from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Watch the video below. And that's what happened on May 2. Osama was found and killed by US forces in Pakistan's Army Cantonment.

At the time when high level talks between US, Pakistan and Afghanistan was going on in the capital city of Kabul, around six Talibani terrorists managed to enter the highly secured hotel and attempted to blow off the top floor of the hotel.

The terrorist operation began at night which made Afghanistan forces unable to control them, situation changed when NATO helicopters arrived and gave the air cover to the ground forces. Out of 6 4 blew themselves up whereas 2 were shot dead by NATO according to NATO.

This shows that in a highly secured capital and the hotel, Afghanistan's forces are still incapable of controlling the extremism.

With this attack Afghanistan might make America to stay more. This attack also proves Pakistan's policy failure as it used terrorism as its strategic and economic policy. Now this terrorism is proving to be dangerous for them.

Pakistan Avoiding International Military Trainers

on Monday, 27 June 2011

After US military secret operation in Pakistan to eliminate Osama Bin Laden, Pakistan has started taking steps to maintain its sovereignty.

Considering US and UK military trainers as potential threat to the security. Pakistan has asked UK to withdraw their trainers, earlier Pakistan has already sent back 120 US military trainers. Pakistan's relations with UK are not as turbulent as they have their relations with US. Falling relationship between US and Pakistan took a steep dive when US launched a secret operation to kill Osama Bin Laden who was hiding in the Pakistan Army Cantonment.

A large number of foreign force is present in Pakistan providing training to the army to fight against terrorism as well as to train them how to use their weapons.

It is believed by the Pakistani agencies that some of these trainers may also be spying and secretly giving details to their respective headquarters, which might have resulted in the secret operation by the US military to kill Osama Bin Laden.

This step was necessary to avoid any other Osama's death like incidence on the Pakistani soil by the foreign forces. Indian authorities as well as many other international authorities still believes that Pakistan is giving shelter to some of the most wanted criminals as well as terrorists. Though the action was taken to protect its sovereignty many believes that Pakistan is hiding something more and in the fear of it being revealed it is getting rid of all foreign forces from the country. Instead of answering what Osama was doing in a protected house in army cantonment, such an action would raise more doubts in the minds of policy makers around the world.

Pakistan has warned both India and other countries against the surgical strikes on its soil. Pakistan is currently working on the proof of innocence asked by the US authorities just after the Osama's death.

India to Develop New Major Naval Base on West Coast

on Thursday, 23 June 2011

While the size of the Indian Navy is increasing and the ports are getting congested, Indian Navy is planning to setup its third major naval base on the west coast in Karnataka at Karwar. For this the government will be spending Rs. 10, 000 crore ($2.25 billion approx.) It is informed that Aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya, Scorpene attack submarines and other strategic warships will be based here once it is completed. 

The location of this port is as such to decongest the Mumbai harbour. While keeping an eye on the growing number of major naval bases in Pakistan. The development is being done at the time when there is a likelihood of china using the Gwadar port in Pakistan developed by them. Though China has declined that they have any plans to use it.

If we compare the number of major naval bases in India and Pakistan, then Pakistan is ahead having five major bases at Gwadar, Ormara, Karachi, Pasni and Jiwani. While India at this time has only two, one in Vishakhapatnam and another in Mumbai. Though the strength in number and technology is more with the Indian Navy.




The Karwar port is strategically on a position from where it can provide strategic depth and operation flexibility. This will not only increase the coastal security but will also prevent pirates from expanding their nets in Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.

While Phase I of the the development is completed allowing Navy to base 11 warships and 10 yardcarft, completion of Phase II will allow Navy to have an airbase, armament depot, dockyard complex, missile silos, and additional jetties, berthing and anchorage facilities. The most prior aim is to have a developed base for anchoring 50 warships.

The base will be staffed with highly trained sea cum ground based commandos and equipment to avoid any incident like what happened in Pakistan's Karachi naval base. 

Now as the Indian Navy is marching ahead for becoming a true blue water Navy. with 2 Aircraft Carriers and  nuclear submarines. The Karwar base will provide much support for the blue water operations of the Navy. The base is also important to counter Chinese String of Pearls theory, in which China is trying to surround India from all sides. (read more: Chinese String of Pearls Theory)

China Close to Get Its First Aircraft Carrier

on Thursday, 9 June 2011

Aircraft carriers are the sea vessels from where combat aircraft can take off, it acts like a moving air strip on the sea which can position itself strategically. Today it is available with only few selected navies including the Indian Navy.

Qi Jianguo, assistant to the chief of the PLA's general staff, calling it as a symbol of great nation underlined the necessity of an Aircraft Carrier in Chinese Navy.

"All of the great nations in the world own aircraft carriers -- they are symbols of a great nation," he was quoted as saying.
It will be China's first Aircraft carrier, the Hong Kong Commercial Daily quoted anonymous sources as saying the carrier will be launched by the end of June at the earliest.

Indian Navy has been operating Aircraft Carriers for a very long time. Vikrant is now decommissioned, Virat is soon to be decommissioned. Their place will be taken by Admiral Gorshkow and the indigenously being built Aircraft Carrier at Cochin shipyard.

India has had a good experience with these carriers not only in patrolling but in real war situations as well. India commanded Vikrant Carrier anchored at Andaman and Nicobar Islands to head towards East Pakistan during 1971 war.

In an exclusive interview published on Tuesday, the Hong Kong Commercial Daily quoted Chen Bingde, chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, as saying the 300 metre (990-foot) refurbished Soviet carrier "is being built, but it has not been completed".

Though real status of the carrier is not known yet, but it is believed that the work on Chinese first Aircraft Carrier is almost completed.

Aircraft in the fleet will give China a strategic advantage allowing it to launch precise air strike on the shore of India. But such a war situation is rare to come. As both the countries wouldn't like to risk their billion dollar worth bilateral trade by declaring war. The power of this bilateral trade is so much that China said in the favour of India's entry in UNSC even when Pakistan tried to alter China's mind.

E. Coli Holds Grip on Germany, Europe

on Saturday, 4 June 2011

A deadly strain of E. Coli bacteria has brought Germany and Eleven other European countries, mainly Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Britain. Germany was the first where a case of infection was registered. The strain has also been found in the United States.

This deadly food borne bacteria produces Shiga toxin which causes haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or kidney failure. So far 17 deaths has been reported due to this infection across Europe.

World Health Organization (WHO) has requested the nations to not to put trade restrictions against these countries as a measure of prevention. However, Russia and Belgium has stopped doing food trade with Spain and Germany, whereas India is respecting WHO's decisions.

E coli bacteria is a very common bacteria and some strains of it can be found in human intestine which some says are good for digestion. But it can be dangerous as well, in medieval days European women used to feed their child without properly cleaning their hands after using toilet thus passing this bacteria in child's stomach this was the reason of massive Cholera outbreak.

In most of the urine infection cases E coli bacteria is found the main reason. This infection can be cured with the normal dose of Anti Biotics.

Humans acquire the infection by consuming contaminated food or water. Following an incubation period of about 3-4 days, a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms appear, ranging from mild to severe bloody diarrhoea, mostly without fever. The one causing infection now is a highly virulent mutated strain.

Steps taken by Indian Government to Avoid E Coli Outbreak


The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is taking measure by asking its official to take extra care in checking on all international ports and four airports which receive food imports from these countries. All the food items will be sent to the Authority's lab for testing before releasing into Indian markets.

Pakistan: ISI and Terrorism; A Policy Failure

on Thursday, 2 June 2011

People within Pakistan and in neighbouring countries always had doubt and suspected Pakistan's premium intelligence agency, ISI as culprit behind several attacks in the sub continent. But this is happening for the first time that whole world is now suspecting and blaming it for nourishing, supporting, creating and providing shelters to terrorism. It is true that it is not proved yet whether ISI was really involved in 26/11 Mumbai attacks and in sheltering Osama in Pakistan's Army Cantonment Area. But becoming a suspect by world organization and authorities is itself a matter of shame. What is so wrong there? Why Pakistan's government agencies becomes suspected so easily?

According to Indian claims Pakistan changed its policy after the loss in 1971 war where they lost their one arm in the form of Bangladesh. Pakistan's intelligence agency became so active in pushing terrorism and fake currency in Indian society and economy respectively that it wasn't even aware of Osama hiding under their nose.

Power change took place many times in this militaristic society, sometimes civil government or sometimes military assumed the central power in the country which caused a severe instability in the country giving much room for the formation of third pole of power, i.e Islamic Militants.

Pakistan's policy of supporting terrorism as a strategic asset against India and economical asset which allowed them to ask for foreign money as aid failed when their own terrorists started taking revenge from the government for their inability to save Osama from American raid.

It cannot be said to which extent Pakistan was involved in sheltering Osama, as nothing is proved yet. But allowing US to survey the area and interrogate few is a good move by the Pakistani government in the field of cooperation against terrorism.

However, statements made by David Coleman Headley in US has solidified the Indian claims of links of Pakistan military and some government elements behind 26/11 Mumbai attacks which is hardly making any news in Pakistan. 10 Pakistani men handled by low rank officers of ISI, trained by Pakistani Marines came to Mumbai from Karachi via sea and killed 166 people, creating panic in one of the busiest railway station in India and blowing up a small section of hotel Taj.

India, on the other hand instead of taking direct action against Pakistan which threatens India of nuking for any aggressive step, uses diplomacy to counter Pakistan's covert and corrupt plans. Signing billion dollar worth treaty with China, India made China support it for a permanent seat in UN security council which was the only hope of Pakistan that it could use to veto out the application of India for becoming a permanent member of UNSC.

Recently, Indian officials have appealed to US courts to allow them to be a part of case, A top government official said: "India may become party to the lawsuit and provide evidence to the New York court. The matter can be taken up at the government-to-government level as well in support of the lawsuit under existing Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) between India and US."(Source: 26/11 case: Will India become party to lawsuit in US against ISI?)
