Radical Islamism and Jihad
A billion Indians will fight Hafiz Saeed

Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear,” is Albert Camus’s favourite quote which should be India’s response to Hafiz Mohammed Saeed’s bluster on Kashmir. His statement regarding resolution of Indo-Pak troubles based on the “liberation of J&K”, failing which radical groups would resort to jihad should be seen as the frustrated fulminations of a deviant and desperate mind. The sheer veneer of charity that the Jammat ud Dawa chief uses to block action against his band of terrorists is clearly giving way to his earlier avatar as the head of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

Since the gloves are off and the relative calm of the Kashmir valley is at stake, the timing of Hafiz Saeed’s statement needs careful analysis.

The coalescing of terrorist forces inimical to India’s national interest like the LeT, Hizbul chief Syed Salahuddin and ISI sponsored rogue groups are aimed at unleashing a psychological propaganda offensive against us at the crucial juncture when the US-UK led offensive against the Taliban is tottering. The lack of will to tame the Taliban in Afghanistan as evident from last week’s London conference is probably re-energizing Hafiz Saeed’s agenda to come out of hiding and resume his cowardly strikes against India like the Mumbai carnage of 26/11. As the old adage goes ‘a cowardly cur barks more fiercely than it bites’ should strengthen our resolve to relentlessly pursue the perpetrators of 26/11.
