By
bashing ‘Terror State Pak’ for its continued support to terrorists in his first
tweet in the New Year and following it up by cutting off most of the US military
aid ($1.3 billion) given to Pakistan, Donald Trump has become the first US
President who has shown serious resolve in really fighting the ‘War on Terror’
unlike his predecessors.
The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 1, 2018
The
sudden and stringent action by the United States seems to have pushed Pakistan into
a state of complete panic and confusion which was evident from two starkly
different statements coming from the two of the senior-most personnel of its
Foreign Affairs Ministry. First, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif was
seen boasting saying that Pakistan’s ties with the US were over. But this
statement was later followed by another declaration from their Foreign
Secretary Tehmina Janjua wherein she said that Pak will continue engagement
with the US despite the aid freeze.
With
all this, Pakistan is slated to see a steep rise in appeal and influence of
radical terror forces which already control its government, hand-in-glove with the
military. As a pointer to this fact, a Pakistani court has ordered the release
of an anti-US cleric, Sufi Mohammad who had been to Afghanistan to help the
Taliban fight against Americans after the 2001 US campaign.
It
is for India and Indians to really thank the US President Donald Trump for the
action that he has taken against rogue Pakistan which will also go a long way
in curtailing Pakistan’s terror activities in India. The note of thanks becomes
more relevant after the US allayed Indian fears over the ‘rumours’ surrounding H-1B
visa by clarifying that the 750,000 Indians in US won’t suffer.
