Chitralis denounce war on terror ‘gimmick’
CHITRAL: Chitralis have denounced the modus operandi of the on going ‘war on terror’ led by the US. In a survey carried out by scribe to solicit the views of people from different walks of life on the issue, a vast majority disagreed with the way successive Pakistan governments have played into the hands of the Americans and their moneyed allies. Whether it was the US-USSR war in Afghanistan in the 1980’s, the Saudi Iranian sectarian proxy war, or the present American led war on terror, Pakistan has been the battle ground hosting these proxy wars in lieu of a few dollars. Chitralis believe that poverty is behind the weakness of the Pakistani nation, and our leaders instead of developing infrastructure to eliminate poverty choose the easier path to beg for money thus mortgaging our sovereignty with the donors. Chitralis appreciated the clear and crisp stance of former PM Nawaz Sharif in which he conveyed to the visiting American diplomats that Pakistan would no more fight their war at the cost of turning our own country into a bloody mess. Chitralis said whether it be the Americans, the Saudis, the Iranians or others, each should fight its war in it’s own country and not try to exploit the poverty in Pakistan by making it a laboratory for conducting bizarre experiments.
