PAKISTANI BLUFFS EXPOSED

As days pass by after the train hijack in Pakistan, for which the BLA staked its claim, my mind has been churning because of how coolly the Pakis shifted the blame to India.

 

It was no surprise when DG ISPR, without naming India, referred to their ‘Eastern neighbour’ responsible for this train tragedy. Why would India or for that matter the world buy his argument? They have no proof, none whatsoever.

 

To deflect the issue and shift the narrative has been their USP. Citizens of Pakistan felt happy that they had found the conspirators, not realising that the person briefing them is the biggest culprit and conniver, as he was caught with his pants down when these attacks happened.

 

It can never be an ‘intelligence failure’ in Pakistan. ‘Raa’ tiptoed in, did their job, wiped off all evidence and sneaked out undetected. Their Army had no role to play except they deployed protection ‘pickets’ on that train route. There is supposed to be a bomb disposal drill before this train passes, which was news to me.

 

About 400 feet of track has been uprooted. Out of the ten bogies and engine, five derailed. The track can be made operational within eight hours as per the railways spokesperson.

 

Be that as it may. I have a counter argument to prove that when the DG ISPR says that the ‘attackers’ were trained by India is all rubbish, nonsense, bunkum, white lies, and claptrap. Why? Read on….

 

Those 33 who were sent to Jahannam must have come to India to train. Through the fence along the IB or by infiltrating through J&K. All infiltration that takes place is under the watchful eye of Pakistani regular troops. Knowing what these BLA guys were going to do after returning, they would never let them infiltrate in the first place. Therefore, no Indian involvement. Period.

 

These people could have infiltrated through Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh or through the sea and returned the same way. It would have cost time and money to execute that mission, unless this training would have been undertaken years ago. Therefore, India is out of it.

 

These BLA guys would have trained under some Indian training team in Afghanistan. Except for similarity in terrain, there is no train which runs in that country. To create such a big dummy train for target practice cannot go undetected. 3^rd lie exposed.

 

The Indian Mission in Afghanistan has been withdrawn for a long time. Unless they trained under the US teams who left weapons for the Taliban, India is nowhere involved. Could TTA have trained the BLA? DG ISPR Saab, please find out.

 

Now the moment of truth. It is actually the Pakistan Army who are and have been training the BLA and other Balochi groups. Since the time the Baloch regiment, which is one of the oldest regiments, was raised, people of that region have been recruited as part of the Pak armed forces on a regular basis.

 

They are sons of the soil, know the terrain well and serve not only in the Baloch regiment but their Corps of Engineers which are masters of mine warfare and IEDs. They are taught to handle explosives besides firing all sorts of weapons and guns in their Arty and Air Defence Regiments. Some of them are Int Operatives too.

 

Besides this, the Balochi soldiers are part of their SSG commandos. A commando is trained to improvise explosives from materials available and blow-up things up. They are also masters of camouflage, concealment, and stealth.

 

For such well trained men, getting hold of a train is no big shake, where they knew the terrain, timings, halts, curves, blind spots, no mobile coverage areas, location of pickets, passenger manifest, et al.

 

Like we have the Balidan badge, where volunteer soldiers pledge to lay down their lives for the nation, so must be the case with the BLA “fidayeen”. By the way the motto of the Baloch Regiment is “Ghazi ya Shaheed” meaning “Victorious or Martyr”, which says it all.

 

These BLA activists are retired people from the forces, who have served as officers and other ranks. Many must have been instructors in various training establishments of the Pak Army. They have now joined the ranks of the BLA and are playing merry hell to get their genuine demands met at whatever cost.

 

So, my dear Pakistanis. We understand your hurry to shift the blame. My submission is to introspect and don’t shoot from your hip.

 

The solution to their problem is political, which is just doing lip service and politicians are subservient to the Army. Using brute military force may lead to devastating results.

 

There are rumours of mutiny and mass desertion about to happen in the Pak Army, which you guys are hiding.

 

If you want to keep Balochistan from separating, then rather blaming India, please revamp your approach towards that land and its people. Your bluff has been totally exposed. Will Pak ever understand? I wonder!!!!!!!
