Forum Pakistan

Finally, someone raises the subject in Islamabad. For more than a year, we have been lobbying for politicians and government officials to pay attention. There are clear signs that a low-intensity war has been declared against Pakistan from the western region. The objective is to destroy Pakistan from within without the need for a direct invasion and war. Senator Nisar A. Memon has raised the bell. Raza Rabbani, the PPP leader whose government tried to destroy the ISI to please the Americans, Karzai and the Indians, appeared to be ridiculing the report. Unfortunately, our politicians continue to be busy in the political and media circus. This is one of the rare media reports to cover this issue, published by the Dawn newspaper.

ISLAMABAD, Aug 29: Senator Nisar A. Memon of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q alleged in the upper house on Friday that the Americans harbored the designs of breaking up Pakistan.

He urged the government to take cognizance of a research report by Prof Michel Chossudovsky of the Global Research Canada which said that the recent regime change would be followed by a 'deliberate' political impasse. The report said that the political impasse was part of an evolving US foreign policy agenda which favored disruption and disarray in the structure of the state.

"Indirect rule by the Pakistani military and intelligence apparatus is to be replaced by more direct forms of U.S. interference, including an expanded U.S. military presence inside Pakistan," it says.

An earlier report by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had predicted a "Yugoslavia- like fate for Pakistan in a decade with civil war, bloodshed and inter-provincial rivalries as seen in Balochistan.”

"Nascent democratic reforms will produce little change in the face of opposition from entrenched political elite and radical Islamic parties. In a climate of continuing domestic turmoil, the central government's control probably will be reduced to the Punjabi heartland," the report said.

Senator Memon quoted the report as saying that chaos and anarchy would be created through economic disruption, as result of which the International Monetary Fund would take Pakistan in its grip.

The report alleged that British intelligence agencies were providing covert support to Balochistan’s separatists.

It said that the ongoing turmoil in Balochistan was part of a strategy to finally separate the province as 'Greater Balochistan’.

The senator urged the government to take measures to counter such conspiracies and said the defence or foreign minister should state how would the regime face the challenges.

He claimed that the breaking up of sound institutions like Inter-Services Intelligence would be followed by other similar steps.

Leader of the House Mian Raza Rabbani said a minister would rebut the report and lay down a national strategy to protect the country's integrity.
