LAHORE: In any crime investigation, the first logical step is to find the beneficiary of that criminal act. We should not be so naive as to indefinitely close our eyes and ignore the role of the several Indian consulates, especially based near Pakistan’s western border. In fact, the terrorism in Karachi and the insurgencies of Swat and Balochistan are a clear testimony of the Indian evil designs, being perpetrated through these consulates in Afghanistan.
However, Pakistan must rest assured that this Indian game plan, specifically designed to keep Pakistan burning for an indefinite period, will not cease, till we repay the Indians in the same coin, by devising a strategy to fight fire with fire. As such, it is high time that Pakistan officially warns India to immediately pack up all its consulates in Afghanistan, failing which, Pakistan should immediately take steps to establish its own consulates, in the border areas of all those countries, which share a common border with India, e.g., China, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
