The day before yesterday, in a sensational revelation, Mr. Simon Henderson, a journalist revealed a secret letter from A.Q. Khan, the infamous Pakistani Scientist cum Nuke agent, written to his wife. The letter reveals some sensational yet predictable facts about Pakistani Nuclear Proliferation Nexus. Pakistan’s lies are out in open.
The letter though written to his wife was made to reach Henderson by Mr. Khan himself, then fearing that someday he will be made a scapegoat; which he is eventually been made. The letter reveals how Pakistan bartered Uranium Enrichment secrets for Nuclear Bomb Blueprints with China. How it sold the Nuclear secrets to N.Korea and Iran on directions from several Pakistani leaders holding office at respective times, including the “Martyr”ed “Peace Ambassador” Benazir Bhutto and The man “In the line of Fire” Pervez Musharraf. The letter even has many entertaining details about A.Q. Khan’s conversations with Chinese scientists and others.
It also hoaxes the claims of Six Nuke tests by Pakistan, which was declared to gain upper hand on India as India had made five tests. World agencies have been long claiming to have recorded only two signals.
Thought the credibility of the letter will be denied by Pakistan and the support for that is also stated by Mr. Henderson, which is the agreement signed by A.Q. Khan with the Pakistani court before acquitting him of charges. (The details can be read in the link here.)
But all said and done, is this going to anyway lead to punishment of the guilty parties? The answer is an overwhelming No. USA cannot sacrifice its “War on Terror(Against US ONLY)” by punishing Pakistan. It also cannot hurt China, since it is China who is holding the US economy. And no other nation can excluding Russia would take on China and consequently Pakistan gets immunity. Russia will not interfere since it usually doesn’t interfere unless the calamity has a potential to reach its boundaries and moreover, Russian economy is hurt and needs support both from USA and China to rebuild it. The entire system of interlocks results into a dangerous stalemate, which does nothing but encourage Pakistan to continue its fraudulent activities, with pretending to fight Taliban and extorting money from hapless USA and spending it on Military strengthening for Holy War against India.
The biggest sufferer has been and will be India. India gets No or Zero support on its pleas for terror in India. Pakistanis and Pakistan bound terrorists have been clever enough to keep the distance between militant outfits working globally and their India bound franchise. That way, the India bound franchise does not face problems from USA and Global outfits have immunity from Pakistan government with fake wars here and there. The everyday claims of success are nothing but a hoax, since every accomplishment is accompanied by an announcement of requirement of funds for further “Fight against terror(Against USA ONLY)”.
India has to strengthen its inner power. We need to be united for that. That needs development and development in turn needs widespread education and political awareness. In a country where a candidate gets a vote because he or she is a fourth generation of some great leader, this seems a distant and an almost impossible dream. But, you know what, impossible is spelled – I m possible!
