Without a big bad India, how can PA-ISI's over-arching authority be justified in Pakistan? PA needs India to be enemy.paaji, this is what has happened, not sure if you followed this or not.
nawaz sharif on pak independence day said PA doesnt need to project india as an enemy any more, when it is not, on the contrary it was time to have better relations with india and have good trading ties with india. the other point being, since pakistan has become independent, the two-nation theory has become redundant and that they should get over with it. imagine a pak politician saying that after general kayani said on the same day that two-nation theory was the very reason why pakistan came into being and is of essence even today.
something that nawaz sharif and his party has been saying for quite sometime now.
this was addressed at a function organised by safma, and the pak based jurnos and other invited jurnos supported this. the safma jurnos on various talk shows discussed this further and endorsed it.
all this didnt go down well with the PA/ISI and soon they had the isi sponsored/funded organizations and individuals start appearing on talk shows and write articles of how safma is raw funded and anti pakistan and they also projected nawaz sharif as a traitor ready to betray pakistan the same way as he did during kargil war.
Two nation theory failed with the formation of BD. Yet, Pakistan's existence(even a pathetic and failed one) is justified only on that basis. Without the two nation theory, the simple question raised in the minds of pakistanis would be: why should aam pakistanis not be part of an increasingly rich, powerful, free, peaceful and developed India and instead wallow in a increasingly failing Pakistan?
What answer can the political establishment of Pakistan give to this simple question that will be inevitably raised by aam pakistanis, if it is accepted that two-nation theory has failed or is redundant...?
