| Anyone with clean hands? | 24-JUL-09 |
|
| The debate on state support of terrorism in South Asia should get real, even if governments in the region find themselves unable to do so during formal diplomatic encounters. Indeed, Pakistan President Asif Zardari has made so bold as to break with all his country’s lies of the past and admit to Pakistan’s role in promoting cross-border terrorism. So perhaps it is time to recognise that no country is innocent, and that this has been the case for the last 60 years. If Pakistan has spent much of the last three decades stoking rebellion and secession in first Punjab and then Kashmir, as also in supporting repeated strikes by Pakistani nationals in Delhi, Mumbai and elsewhere, if Bangladesh has been supporting terrorist outfits like the United Front for Liberation of Assam (Ulfa), and if sundry players in the region have been supporting Naga and other rebels, the fact is that India does not have a clean record either. |
