This is with reference to many letters from claiming that both the Parliament attack and the Mumbai attack were orchestrated by India itself. It is surprising that they are leveling this allegation based on unverified reports attributed to one Satish Verma who himself has refused to comment on the issue when contacted by Times of India.

The whole world watched on live TV how the Mumbai attacks were carried out. While initially Pakistan refused to acknowledge that Ajmal Qasab was its national, a Pakistani reporter traced Qasab’s parents/village in the country. It was only much later that Pakistan had to acknowledge that Qasab was a Pakistani. There are recorded tapes of conversations between the handlers of the terrorists from Pakistan speaking to the terrorists while they were in Mumbai and also David Headley (American of Pakistani origin) confirmed that the whole operation was planned in Pakistan.

In 2009, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari admitted at a conference in Islamabad that Pakistan had in created terrorist groups as part of its geo-strategic agenda. Pakistan had long been accused by neighbors Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iran and Western nations, like the United States and the United Kingdom, of its involvement in terrorist activities in India and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s tribal region along the border of Afghanistan is claimed to be a “safe haven for terrorists.” It is considered among the most dangerous nations in the world. It is an open secret that Dawood Ibrahim, the most wanted terrorist in India, lives in Karachi.

Our Pakistani friends should first acknowledge what is happening in Pakistan and they can read so many books written by Western intelligentsia to corroborate the same and force their government to focus more on welfare of its people and the same applies to India. — Mohan, Chennai
