US-supported Indo-Afghan plan to disintegrate Pakistan

Dr. Jassim Taqui

India and Afghanistan have confirmed their alliance against Pakistan during the Heart of Asia ministerial conference in the Indian city of Amritsar (2-3 December 2016). The Afghani President Ashraf Ghani claimed that Pakistan was declaring a war against his regime, urging Pakistan authorities to act against militants’ sanctuaries in FATA. Ironically Ghani demanded from Pakistan $500 million in aid; making a mockery of his accusation.

India paid the compliment by accusing Pakistan of backing Islamist militants in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian went a step further by denying the Pakistani delegation the legitimate right to hold press briefing to clarify its position. It was a planned humiliation by New Delhi in coordination with Ashraf Ghani.

Both countries exploited the grim security and economic situation in Pakistan as the result of the ongoing war against terror and the rampant corruption of the ruling elite to further disgrace the embattled and helpless nation.

By now, it is clear that this coalition is intended to further destabilize Pakistan in a bid to sabotage the CPEC.

The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has neutralized  the Russian Federation by signing a multi-billion military deal with Moscow. The United States has already signed a “ strategic partnership” with India, which means that New Delhi would act as the implementing arm of the United States for any future adventure against Pakistan.

According to Rand Organization, the US administration prepared a blueprint to disintegrate Pakistan and to control its strategic assets.

Due to the re-alignment of the global forces, the ground is now ripe for another Sykes-Picot Agreement. This time it is Pakistan which would be the subject of disintegration.

Pakistan is compelled to tilt heavily on China especially when it is punished for daring to help China achieve the CPEC.

 The Foreign Policymakers are facing a gigantic challenge. They simply cannot conduct a one-window foreign policy. They need to reconsider and possibly accommodate  the genuine Indian and Afghan concerns and peacefully diffuse the tension on the eastern and western fronts.
