Imran Khan Sheds Tears At OIC To Steal Benefit For Self
At the time when the OIC was deliberating about humanitarian aid for Afghanistan, the host PAKISTAN was constructing concrete bunkers within the 500 meters’ buffer zone at the Line of Control between India and Pakistan. It was a shameful attempt by the Pakistan military to provoke India to respond to this breach of mutual agreement by opening fire.
Had India responded with live firing the OIC meeting probably would have helped him to drag in the so called and Pakistani fabricated Kashmir issue. Instead Indian Army used a megaphone instead and kept warning the Pakistani army to refrain and stop the illegal manoeuvre.
To top it, during the IOC meeting in Islamabad, Afghan Taliban were attacking Pakistan army at the Pak-Afghan border between Chaman in Baluchistan and Nangarhar province in Afghanistan. The Taliban held the Pakistan military personnel at gun point and dug up the barbed wire fence laid by Pakistan over the Durand Line claiming that they did not recognise the border between the two countries.
In 1893 Sir Mortimer Durand had sketched the border between British India and the puppet Afghanistan. Also an agreement was signed between himself and the puppet ruler installed by the Brutish after the Afghan war, Abdul Rahman Khan. According to the agreement, the border was to be recognised by both parties for 100 years. Hence, since 1993 the Durand line agreement stands null and void. The Taliban who took the barbed wire with them have warned that if another attempt to seal the border is made they will not refrain from using force to exert their will.
So when Imran Khan, during his address to the attendees of the 17th Extraordinary Session of OIC held in Islamabad., said that it was a ‘humanitarian duty’ of the world that they help Afghanistan with aid, yet in his second breath he claimed that it was a ‘religious duty’ of Muslims to help Afghanistan, he was totally confused.
He said that “no country has suffered as much as Afghanistan”. Imran Khan conveniently ignored the fact that the troubles in Afghanistan were concocted in Pakistan. It was done in order to create the so called ‘strategic depth’ against India that the Pakistani ruler General Muhammed Zia Ul Haq (1977-88) began to arm Afghan War Lords against the left wing government of Noor Muhammed Taraki in 1978.
Also for few dollars the military generals transformed Pakistan into a front line state for western imperialism and China whose only purpose was to bog down the Soviets who had come to defend the Afghan Saur Revolution.
Pakistan also trained the thousands of Afghan jihadi, called the Mujahedeen, and armed them and then sent into Afghanistan to conduct a civil war in that country.
Imran Khan thus shed crocodile tears over the misery that the Afghan people face today, blaming it on the previous “corrupt” governments. He ignored the fact that today Afghanistan was under the yoke of the most brutal, anti-civilization, drug dealers and smugglers in the form of the Afghan Taliban. They have come to power after ousting an elected government and who have since been trampling upon human rights. They have deprived the ethnic groups of any political representation and to top it have failed to stop the export of terrorism by the Afghan based Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan into Khan’s own country.
On one side, Imran Khan pleaded to the OIC to help Afghanistan, as their religious duty, and that it was “a question of…40 million human beings” yet in Pakistan Occupied Jammu Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan (PoJK, PoGB) 6 million of his people are currently suffering from hunger and face starvation due to lack of Wheat, water and electricity. Already they have spent half of the winter in darkness and food shortage.
Khan sahib passionately talked about drought in Afghanistan leading to a food crisis but conveniently forgot that it was his own government that had reduced the quota of Wheat for PoGB by 20 thousand bags a month and all Atta depots in the PoJK got been shut down due to lack of flour.
One feels amazed at Imran Khan’s desperation in seeking help for his Taliban brothers when he protests against preconditions the world community has set for the Taliban to comply with before they qualify for world recognition.
He said that the preconditions that unless the Taliban have an inclusive government, human rights, women rights, and disallow terrorism from their soil are met the humanitarian aid will not flow and their foreign reserves will not be allowed to or their banking system will not be allowed to function, should not stop the world from aiding the Taliban government!
He said that the Taliban foreign minister had categorically said that they wanted to comply with the (above said) three conditions.
Imran Khan is a person who will go to any length to procure monetary benefit and in the end Pakistan did manage to get the OIC to agree to set up a Trust Fund for Afghanistan.
This will surely be a kitty from which Pakistan will also draw the much need cash for running of its own administration. Khan’s crocodile tears shed at the OIC did not go in vain after all.
