US SENATE PANEL HUMILIATES PAKISTAN AGAIN, VIRTUALLY CALLS
IT A TERRORIST STATE
പാകിസ്താന്‍ ഭീകരതയെ പിന്തുണയ്ക്കുന്ന രാഷ്ട്രം: യുഎസ് സെനറ്റ്
Pakistan was
humiliated in an open US senate hearing on Thursday with lawmakers and
witnesses confirming its terrorism-sponsoring credentials and seeking to further
curtail aid to the country if it did not modify its behaviour.In a remarkably candid
hearing, US senators openly accused Pakistan of killing of American soldiers in
Afghanistan through proxies after perfidiously skimming US taxpayer dollars.They
called Pakistan duplicitous. Supported by expert witnesses, including a former
CIA station chief who served in Islamabad, they threatened further aid cuts to
a country that has long lived on American and western dole when it is not
extending its begging bowl towards Saudi Arabia and China for more crumbs.
"We've gone through a period of time where we've both viewed our relationship as very transactional. We tried to change that and deal with Pakistan in a different manner and to create a more whole relationship with them. From my standpoint, that hasn't been very successful," Republican senator Bob Corker, who convened the hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, declared while expressing frustration at Pakistan's continuing support for terrorist groups

.Corker was particularly incensed that after
expending $33 billion in US tax-payer dollars, lot of it spend for infrastructure
development in FATA, Washington was finding that Pakistan had spirited out
terrorists from the region and was giving them safe havens in urban areas,
keeping them out of reach of US drones by hiding them in civilian areas.
"Whereas at one time we were using our drones to ferret out terrorists in that region, what ultimately happened was they moved to the suburbs of Pakistan. They are now getting medical care. The Haqqani network leadership has been living there. The government of Pakistan knows where they live. As a matter of fact, they have safe havens there," Corker disclosed in remarks that could embarrass the John Kerry-led State Department and the Obama White House, which have both funneled aid to Pakistan despite its obvious lack of action on terror groups and its continued use of terror proxies in the region.Caught with its pants down in the Mumbai terror strike eight years ago, with even US Court proceedings implicating Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI in the attack, Pakistan has tried various strategies to deflect attention, including accusing India of destabilizing it, an allegation that has found no traction despite being aired by its foreign office spokesman Nafees Zakaria on Thursday.Instead, US lawmakers zeroed in on Pakistan's terrorist credentials, although the death of their soldiers in Afghanistan exercised them more than attacks on India.

അന്താരാഷ്ട്ര തലത്തില്‍ പാകിസ്താന്‍ ഒരു ഭീകരരാഷ്ട്രമാണെന്ന് ഇന്ത്യ ആരോപിച്ചുകൊണ്ടിരിക്കെ ഇന്ത്യയുടെ ആരോപണം ശരിവയ്ക്കുന്ന തരത്തില്‍ യുഎസ് സെനറ്റില്‍ പാക്‌സ്താനെതിരെ ആരോപണങ്ങള്‍.
പാകിസ്താന്‍ ഭീകരരെ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് അഫ്ഗാനിസ്താനിലുള്ള അമേരിക്കന്‍ സൈനികരെ കൊന്നൊടുക്കുകയാണെന്നും അമേരിക്കക്കാരുടെ നികുതി പണം വാങ്ങി തങ്ങളെ വഞ്ചിക്കുകയാണെന്നും സെനറ്റംഗങ്ങള്‍ ആരോപിച്ചു
പാക് നഗരങ്ങള്‍ ഭീകരര്‍ക്കുള്ള സുരക്ഷിത താവളങ്ങളാക്കി പാകിസ്താന്‍ മാറ്റിയെന്നും അമേരിക്കന്‍ ഡ്രോണ്‍ ആക്രമണങ്ങളില്‍ നിന്ന് രക്ഷപ്പെടുത്താന്‍ ഇവരെ ജനങ്ങള്‍ക്കിടയില്‍ സ്വതന്ത്രരായി വിലസാന്‍ അനുവദിക്കുന്നുവെന്നും യുഎസ് സെനറ്റ് അംഗങ്ങള്‍ ആരോപിക്കുന്നു
പാകിസ്താന്‍ തുടര്‍ച്ചയായി ഭീകരര്‍ക്ക് പിന്തുണ നല്‍കുന്നു. ഹഖാനി ഭീകരര്‍ എവിടെയാണുള്ളതെന്ന് പാകിസ്താനറിയാം. അവര്ക്ക് നേരെ യുഎസ് ആക്രമണം ഉണ്ടാകുമ്പോഴെല്ലാം പാകിസ്താനില്‍ അവര്ക്ക് വൈദ്യസഹായം ലഭിക്കുന്നുണ്ടെന്നും റിപ്പബ്ലിക്കന്‍ സെനറ്റംഗം ബോബ് കോക്കര്‍ പറയുന്നു...... പാകിസ്താന്‍ താവളം നല്‍കിയിരിക്കുന്ന ഹഖാനി ഭീകരരാണ് അഫ്ഗാനിസ്താനിലെ അമേരിക്കന്‍ സൈനികരെ കൊലപ്പെടുത്തുന്നതില്‍ മുന്നില്‍ നില്‍ക്കുന്നതെന്നും അദ്ദേഹം പറഞ്ഞു. നമ്മള്‍ പാകിസ്താനുമെന്നിച്ച് പ്രവര്‍ത്തിക്കുന്നു. എന്നാല്‍ അവരുടേത് ഇരട്ടത്താപ്പ് നയമാണ്. ഭീകരതയുടെ ദുര്‍ഭൂതത്തെ അവര്‍ പുറത്ത് വിടുകയും ഭീകരര്‍ക്ക് താവളമൊരുക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നുവെന്നും സെനറ്റ് അംഗങ്ങള്‍ ആരോപിക്കുന്നു.
