Indian lies exposed!
The Tale of the Bungled "Hijack" Drama and other Stories...
By J Simpson for The Indian Terrorism Page, October 06, 2001
Why is it that whenever India is cornered with
regard to her brutal crimes in Kashmir, one of her planes gets
hijacked? And why is there always some spectacular, conveniently
timed, "terrorist attack" carried out by "Kashmiri
terrorists" whenever India is in need of diplomatic points?
Consider the following incidents:
Shortly before the 1971 war between India and Pakistan, a group
of Kashmiris "hijacked" an Indian
passenger plane and forced it to land in Lahore, Pakistan. India
later used this excuse to block all Pakistani air traffic between
West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). It is now
established that those hijackers were working for Indian
intelligence agencies and the purpose of the "hijack"
was to malign Pakistan and thus create an excuse to attack her
shortly afterwards.
In December 1999, another
Indian passenger plane was "hijacked" and first flown to Pakistan, then to the United Arab
Emirates and finally to Afghanistan. Again, the hijackers were
supposedly Kashmiris demanding the release of some comrades from
Indian jails. Also this "hijack" drama had clear evidence of
Indian involvement.
In March 2000, just when President Clinton of the USA was
visiting India, 35 Sikhs in Indian-occupied Kashmir were killed
by "foreign militants". Again India immediately accused
Pakistan of masterminding this act of terrorism. India even
claimed to have hunted down and killed the fictitious
Pakistan-sponsored culprits shortly after this gruesome massacre.
Too bad that the relatives of the "culprits" spoke up
and told the world that their loved ones were no terrorists but
innocent Kashmiri civilians who were shot by the Indian army in
cold blood to produce "evidence" linking Pakistan to
the massacre of the 35 Sikhs. Even the Sikh survivors of the massacre told reporters
that it indeed was the Indian army, and not the Kashmiri
fighters, who had gunned down those 35 Sikh villagers in
Chittisinghpura.
Then, in August 2000, about 100 people were gunned down in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Again, India accused Pakistan and the
Kashmiri freedom fighters. Prime Minister Vajpayee of India
promptly arrived at the scene of the crime and delivered a fiery
speech in which he accused and threatened Pakistan. But even
during his speech the relatives of the victims kept shouting at
him that it was not the freedom fighters but rather the Indian
police and paramilitary forces that had killed their loved ones.
On October 01, 2001, over 30 people were killed and many more
injured after suicide bombers blew up a car outside
Indian-occupied Kashmir's Legislative Assembly. Right away the
Indians knew who was to blame: The attack was carried out by
Jaish-e-Mohammad, an organization fighting Indian occupation of
Kashmir. The Indians also provided the name of the suicide bomber
and claimed that he hailed from Pakistan. Very conveniently,
right after the blast somebody from Jaish-e-Mohammad supposedly
called and claimed that his organization had indeed carried out
the attack. Now, the Indian script writers who wrote and staged
this third-rate drama overlooked the fact that Kashmiri freedom
fighters never release personal information about their members.
Nor did they consider the fact that suicide bombings have never
been used in Kashmir. They also did not seem to bother with the
fact that Jaish-e-Mohammad in a press release strongly condemned
this attack and denied any responsibility. Also, if the attackers
had the intelligence and means to carry out such an attack then
why were they not aware of the fact that Kashmir Legislative
Assembly building was being renovated and therefore the meeting
was taking place in another location? The only people present in
the building were maintenance workers and some junior officials.
As if this was not enough, India decided to throw in another
"hijacking" to try to convince the world about
Pakistan's involvement in world terrorism. State-run Indian
Airlines supposedly received a telephone call right before
midnight on Wednesday October 3 that a plane would be seized in
mid-flight by terrorists. The Indian propaganda machinery went
into overdrive: An Air Alliance flight en route from Bombay to Delhi was
"hijacked" by "two men
who spoke broken English" and forced to land in Delhi. The
hijackers were apparently asking about maps and information about
Pakistani airports in Lahore and Karachi. However, when asked by
the international media what the "hijackers" were
demanding, the Indians answered with a deafening silence.
Pakistan, alarmed by the mischievous designs of the Indian
authorities, promptly closed off its airspace and warned that
under no circumstances would this Indian plane be allowed to
enter Pakistan. According to informed sources in Pakistan, the US
realized that the Indian intelligence agencies and government
were staging this fake hijack to malign Pakistan. Therefore,
Washington warned New Delhi to back off and stop this charade.
Realizing that their drama was failing, the Indians panicked and
started to spew out one excuse after the other to deceive the
world and avoid being made the laughing stock of the world. Some
government officials were saying that this episode had happened
due to confusion created by an anonymous prank call to the
aviation authorities. Others were trying to convince the world
that there really had been a threat to the passengers and crew
aboard the "hijacked" plane. Others again were claiming
that this was all part of a live exercise to test the abilities
of India's anti-terror units! The world, however, did not buy any
of these excuses and rejected the pathetic Indian lies. Most
vivid was the reaction of a Western journalist at Delhi airport,
who said that this latest charade of the Indians was
"disgusting and shameful".
For any human being who is able to think in a coherent and
rational fashion it is clear that the Indians are the real
culprits behind the suicide attack on the Kashmir Assembly and
the "hijack" of the Alliance Air plane. By blaming the
Kashmiris and Pakistanis for these terrorist attacks India is
trying to malign the just and heroic freedom struggle of the
Kashmiris. In addition, she is callously playing on the raw
emotions in the West after the tragic events of September 11,
2001. By portraying the Kashmiris as terrorists and criminals who
do not shy away from bombing and killing civilians, India is
hoping that the US and the rest of the world will equate
Kashmir's freedom struggle with terrorism and that this will lead
to US clamping down on the Kashmiris as well in its war on
terrorism. One can only hope that USA and the entire world
community can see through India's blatant lies.
Pakistanis in general know India to be an aggressive, cruel and
conniving neighbor, prone to act on whims, and a malicious liar.
They have seen many examples of Indian behavior to come to this
conclusion. In 1971 India attacked Pakistan and dismembered it.
In 1984 India occupied Pakistan's Siachen glacier. In 1998 India
detonated several nuclear devices and immediately afterwards
threatened Pakistan with nuclear strikes.
The need of the hour is for the world to realize that it cannot afford to let India get away with such behavior any longer. India is a terrorist state with a huge weapons arsenal, including nuclear-tipped missiles, at her disposal. One shudders at the thought of what outrageous stunt India will try to pull on the world in the future. To avoid a major catastrophe caused by India's increasingly belligerent, psychopathic and irresponsible attitude, the world must de-fang and de-claw her before it is too late.
