Defenders of Pakistan (II)

Letter February 04, 2012
Whenever the military wants to communicate something indirectly, such groups and organisations come into play.

ISLAMABAD: We need to see the connection between the military’s relations with the US and India vis-a-vis Difa-e-Pakistan Council’s activities. If one needs proof of this, they can refer to the protest carried out by the Jamaat-e-Islami on the visit of Indian prime minister in February 1999.

Whenever the military wants to communicate something indirectly, such groups and organisations come into play. I only hope that ordinary people are able to see this and connect the dots to see the larger picture.
