NO
Mr. Colin Powell. I just do not agree with your doublespeak,
double-deal and double-ride diplomacy, which equates the
biggest democracy in South Asia with the worst military
dictatorship in the region. In Islamabad, you declare without
batting an eyelid that you offer on a golden plate the gift of
accepting Pakistan as America’s most-favoured military ally
outside NATO. You forget that a day earlier in New Delhi, you
were beaming with the joy of assured victory over terrorism in
tribal areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Please tell me, are
you confused or taking us for a ride again and again? Never
mind your secret agenda, but I am well aware of our own
agenda, the agenda of the people of India------It is peace,
progress, friendship, decency and democracy. I find it
difficult to agree with your shower of praises for President
Musharraf in your own strange style. I seem to agree with the
New York Times for showering a ton of bricks on President
Bush’s style of policy-making and your style of con-man
diplomacy in implementing your master’s voice.
For how
long you can take how many for a ride and prey, how many
times? Do not equate the vibrant Indian democracy with vicious
system of dictatorial regions in Pakistan. You say terrorists
are your enemies. Do you mean it? And why do you need most
favoured military allies outside NATO? Have you lost
confidence in European allies and US democracy with its super
powerful conquering armed forces? Are you envisaging another
war that is our region?
Can you
take my word of advice? Better learn to play cricket. It is a
honest, clean, decent and democratic game. |
