back to 1971

LAHORE: The Indian political and security establishment, ably assisted by their
chosen media houses, is notorious since 1971 for designing bizarre False Flag
operations to deceive the world, defame Pakistan and disguise the actual source of
responsibility, though each time New Delhi has tried to cover up its intelligence
failures and faulty policies, its internal investigative reports have mocked all such
claims.

The term “False Flag” originally referred to pirate ships that ew ags of countries
as a disguise to prevent their victims from eeing or preparing for battle. The
Pulwama terror incident is not the rst time the Indians have resorted to the use of
a False Flag (//app-as.readspeaker.com/cgi-bin/rsent?customerid=9520&audiofilename=history-of-false-flag-indian-
to hide the reality and accomplish their ulterior motives.

In September 2016, just a day before the-then Pakistani Premier, Nawaz Sharif, was
gearing up to address the United Nations General Assembly and apprise the world
of the Indian atrocities in Held Kashmir, those at the helm of a airs in New Delhi
had yet again accused Pakistan of attacking a military camp in Occupied Kashmir
without any substantial proof.

India had actually wanted to dilute the e ects of Nawaz Sharif’s speech at the
United Nations. Well, India keeps spelling out this rhetoric and the timing of airing
such concocted and fabricated fairy tales is extremely signi cant.

On January 2, 2016, after the Pathankot Air Base in Indian Punjab was
reportedly/allegedly attacked by militants, a banned out t “Jaish-e-Muhammad”
was promptly blamed by key government functionaries in New Delhi, instead of
rst apprehending the miscreants and carrying out the necessary combat
operations to clear the facility.

Within hours, an internal probe had thrown an egg on Indian government’s face.
On June 2, 2016, as “Zee News” had reported, the Director General of Indian
National Investigation Agency, Sharad Kumar, said that there was no evidence to
indicate the direct complicity of the Pakistani government or the Pakistani agencies
at the Pathankot attack.

The “Zee News” had quoted Kumar as saying: “No evidence suggests that Pakistan
government or Pakistani government agency was helping Jaish–e–Mohammed or
Masood Azhar or his aides to carry out Pathankot attack.”

Following Director General Kumar’s statement, the Ministry of Foreign A airs in

Islamabad had said the Indian inquiry had vindicated Pakistan’s longstanding
position in the context of Pathankot.

The statement by the Pakistani Foreign O ce had added, “The spirit of cooperation
is manifested in the action we (Pakistan) took in the wake of the alleged incident.” It
is worth recalling that the Pathankot Air Base attack had occurred just days after
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had paid a ‘surprise’ visit to Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif on his birthday and the occasion of his granddaughter's wedding; a
move that appeared to promise better relations between the two nuclear rivals.

Research reveals that on January 30, 1971, the Indian spy agency RAW had
conducted a False Flag operation by making its operatives hijack a Fokker “Ganga”
from India to Lahore.

The Indian government had immediately said Kashmiri freedom ghters, Hashim
Qureshi and Ashraf Butt, were behind the hijacking. It had disallowed Pakistani
aircraft from using its air space forthwith. Pakistani planes could no longer y to
the restive East Pakistan (later Bangladesh).

On February 1, 1971, the passengers and crew of “Ganga” were released in Lahore
and the aircraft was burnt. Interestingly, the Indian Airlines plane “Ganga” was
already withdrawn from service but was re-inducted days before the hijacking.

The events that followed showed that the purpose behind this False Flag operation
was to cut o east-west air ights of Pakistan so as to give free hand to Mujibur
Rehman and his cronies to speed up their secession plan and create Bangladesh.

This over ight ban in the run up to the December 1971 Indo-Pak War later had a
signi cant impact on troop movement into erstwhile East Pakistan as Islamabad
had to send reinforcements through a longer air route via Colombo.

East Pakistan thus remained cut o from West Pakistan till the very end and the
“hijacking” enabled Indian armed forces to fuel the insurgency.

From 2001 till 2008, Pakistan was held responsible for most acts of terror taking
place on Indian soil.

These events included the Samjhota Express train blasts killing over 50 Pakistanis,
the bombing in Mecca Mosque of Hyderabad Deccan and a 2008 blast in a
Malegaon (Maharashtra state) mosque.

The November 26, 2008 Mumbai attack is yet another candid example of Indian
False Flag operations, aimed at de ecting the attention of the world from the
unabated genocide in Occupied Kashmir, create a stir to pressurise Pakistan.

Hemant Karkare, the chief of the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad, was killed on
the day of the Mumbai attacks.

He had led the inquiry into the 2008 Malegaon terrorism and had arrested 11
suspects in late October 2008.

All those handcu ed were Hindu extremists, including a student leader Sadhvi
Singh Thakur, Swami Amritananda alias Dayanand Pandey, a retired Major Ramesh
Upadhyay and a serving Indian Army o cer Lt. Col. Prasad Shrikant Purohi.

Most of the accused hailed from a radical Hindutva group called “Abhinav Bharat”
with prior links to the radical “Sangh Parivar” organization.

Hemant Karkare had identi ed that Hindutva organizations were responsible for
terrorism in India, and had already made many political commentators call it
“Hindutva Terror” or the “Sa ron Terror.”

Opposition parties, including the BJP and Shiv Sena, had alleged that the arrests
were made under the pressure of the incumbent government, in an attempt to
appease India's Muslim population.

These political parties had dubbed Hemant Karkare a ‘traitor to the nation’ for his
investigation in this direction.

In an investigation, an Indian news agency “Headline Today” had found that a

substandard bullet-proof jacket had actually been issued to Karkare.

However, according to the post mortem report, the quality of the vest was not a
factor in his death.

By the way, the world is still trying to make sense of what happened on 26/11 in
Mumbai; how a team of 10 gunmen e ectively challenged the highly trained Indian
commandos for three days in the business hub of the country?

Many are still nding answers to the unsolved riddle as to how these men had
managed to travel in a boat from Karachi--totally undetected--in the Arabian Sea
and the Indian Ocean before reaching the shores of Mumbai!

Remember, in November 2018, Indian media had reported that Ajmal Kasab, the
chief suspect of Mumbai attacks, was issued a domicile certi cate by the Uttar
Pradesh state, adding that a probe had been ordered.

Ajmal was hanged at Yerwada jail in Pune in November 2012, and the Indian
authorities had termed him a Pakistani citizen for many years.

The “Times of India” had quoted a concerned Uttar Pradesh State o cial, Pravendra
Kumar, as saying: “Some unidenti ed person submitted an application with a photo
of terrorist Ajmal Kasab in the month of October for the issuance of a domicile
certi cate at Bidhoona tehsil of the district. Subsequently, the authorities, without
cross-checking the facts, issued the domicile certi cate on October 21. As per
details, terrorist Ajmal Kasab’s birth place is mentioned as Bidhoona and the name
in the column of his father read as Mohd Amir while that of his mother Mumtaz
Begum. The certi cate bore registration number 181620020060722.”
