Reality of Indian "evidence" against Pakistan

November 2008 Mumbai attacks were a series of ten coordinated terrorist attacks across Mumbai, India's financial capital and its largest city. India blamed Pakistan for helping the attackers and named a Kashmir based militant group for it. This attack began on 26 November and ended on 29 November. At least 173 people were killed and at least 308 were injured in the attacks.

In January 2009 Indian government gave a dossier of evidence to Pakistan in which different stages of attack were described and there were photos of the things found in the boat , markings of GPS device, phone numbers and transcript of conversation.

India insisted that it is an evidence but it seems like a document of allegations filled with loopholes and wrong information. Like they showed that the pistol, grenades, pickle and detergent were made in Pakistan but in reality the pistol was of Russian origin with fake markings, actual stamp and design of Pakistani company is much different , grenades were not Pakistani, the detergent was made in Iran and the pickle box they showed is actually the other side of the same detergent box.

below are the recordings of a show named "Live with Talat" of Aaj TV. He has described these things in detail.

Forth Martial Law (1999 to 2008)

Down fall of Prime Minister Nawaz sharif started with kargil conflict. It was an operation masterminded by General Pervez Musharraf and according to some sources he did not take approval of prime minister before starting it. PM was informed when operation was already in progress. It was a badly planned operation in which Air Force and Navy were not taken under confidence, only three Army Generals knew about it. In the beginning Indian forces received massive casualties and lost very important piece of land. With the passage of time this conflict started to become more serious, now India was using its Air Force too. A full fledged war was going to happen which could have easily turned into a nuclear conflict. Economic condition of Pakistan was not good enough to fight a war for long time, Air Force and Navy were also not fully prepared. Seeing all this international community started to build up pressure on Pakistan to call back the forces and on India to not to expend the war. Nawaz Sharif agreed and ordered the forces to retreat. Pakistani forces faced the loss of many soldiers during retreat. Nawaz Sharif was criticized throughout the country for this. He was failed to manage it properly, these casualties could have avoided. Nawaz took all the blame on himself to save the face of military. In reality it was military who destroyed the peace process between India and Pakistan by starting this conflict.



After this conflict Musharraf was afraid of court martial, tensions grew between him and PM but Nawaz did not take any action against him later he regretted for not doing so. On October 12, 1999 Nawaz Sharif received authentic information that military is going to take over his government on return of Musharraf who was in Srilanka at that time. Nawaz removed the Army chief and appointed a new one. Army refused to obey his orders and ousted his administration. At the same time Musharraf came back to Karachi, Nawaz tried to not allow his plane to land in Karachi and diverted it to Nawabshah Airport to buy some more time but it was already too late. His plane landed in Karachi and Nawaz was put under house arrest and later exiled to Saudi Arabia in December 2000.

Mushaaraf called himself the chief executive. He deliberately avoided to use the name of "Martial Law administrator" to provide an excuse and deceive the Supreme Court. He suspended the constitution and "The Oath of Judges Order 2000" was issued. It required the judges to take a fresh oath of office swearing allegiance to military rule and to state they would make no decisions against the military. Many judges refused and resigned in protest.

Just like previous traitors & dictators he made an attempt to legitimize his rule and held a referendum on 30 April 2002. There were many irregularities in it.



In October 2002, elections were held. PML-Q succeeded in making a coalition government. This party consisted of most corrupt politicians from many different parties who agreed to support Musharraf to save themselves. Many of them were arrested by him before. This government legitimized his rule and did many different amendments to the constitution, all of them with the same purpose of giving more and more power to that dictator.

After the attacks of September 11, United states decided to attack Afghanistan and they wanted Musharraf to join them. He surrendered to their will and became a part of multi national alliance who attacked Afghanistan on October 7, 2001. Sanctions against Pakistan were removed and huge amount of financial and military aid was given to Musharraf regime. Pakistan was under these sanctions throughout 90s. Pakistani forces did not enter Afghanistan but they started an operation on Pak-Afghan border against supporters of Afghan Resistance, mostly consisted of Taliban and ethnic Pashtun Afghanis. This move was against the wishes of Pakistanis and many small militant groups emerged in that area who later formed a bigger Alliance named Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Pakistani forces are still fighting this group in tribal belt. A campaign was launched against supporters and members of Al-Qaeda. Actually it became a business for military establishment, they received dollars in exchange of every person they handed over to USA. Many innocents like Doctor Afia Siddiqui were also arrested and handed over to america. Many Arabs were killed or arrested who settled in tribal areas after the end of Afghan Jihad against USSR. This operation resulted in shape of insurgency and continuous engagement of Pakistani security forces against other Pakistanis.

One of the most brutal acts of his regime was Lal Masjid Operation, From July 3 to July 11, 2007. In this operation more than one hundred children were burnt alive with chemical weapons like Phosphorus. Most of them were as young as 12 to 16. This operation was purely of political nature. Musharraf wanted to show his will to crush Islamic voices and win the "hearts and minds" of anti Islam forces of the world.



Another most disgusting act of his regime was an attempt to suspend the sitting Chief Justice of Supreme Court. The Steel mills privatization case and Missing persons case became the real cause of this act. Chief Justice was not willing to obey the orders of government and passed the judgments against their wishes. On 9 March 2007, Musharraf suspended the Chief Justice, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, pressing corruption charges against him and filed a reference against him, in the Supreme Judicial Council. The supreme court refused to accept the reference and reinstated the Chief Justice on 20 July.



Sharif returned to Pakistan in September 2007, and was immediately arrested and taken into custody at the airport and then sent back to Saudi Arab.

on October 5, 2007 The National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) was issued by the traitor. It granted amnesty to selective politicians, bureaucrats and political workers who were accused of corruption, embezzlement, money-laundering, murder and terrorism. It came as a result of the "deal" between Musharraf and PPP which enabled Benazir, Asif Ali Zardari and many party workers of PPP, MQM and PML-Q to contest elections. Benazir died in a successful assassination attempt and could not enjoy it. Our President and PM could never contest the election if NRO was not there.



On 3 November, 2007 Musharraf declared a state of emergency as Chief of Army Staff. It was second martial law by him and this time he was trying to save himself from Judiciary who was going to give a judgement on the legality of holding two offices of President and COAS at the same time. Chief justice was put under house arrest and remaining judges were ordered to take a fresh oath under provisional constitution order. Many judges accepted the order and Supreme Court once again surrendered to the will of a dictator.

Musharraf resigned from the army on 28 November 2007.

After the general Elections of 2008, PPP made the government. On 7 August 2008, the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Muslim League (N) decided to force Musharraf to step down from presidency. They agreed to impeach him if he did not resign. Musharraf could not sustain the growing political pressure and gave his resignation on 18 August 2008.

The biggest problem he created, other than making a joke of constitution, is the militancy and extremism in tribal areas and NWFP. Bomb blasts and suicide attacks are a routine now. Many foreign investors have left Pakistan which increased the unemployment of educated youth. In his long tenure he failed to increase the production of electricity and did not build any major dam for water storage. Country is facing electricity and water shortage because of it. Industries are closing down and agriculture is also affected. He was receiving a lot of aid from international community throughout his rule but when he left the Presidency there was nothing in the government banks. All the money was gone, most probably into his own belly.

He did not solve any of our problem. He imposed both of his martial laws to save his own place. In 1999 he was trying to save himself from court martial and in 2007 he was running away from judiciary. Army supported him in every step and they never learned from the past, the biggest proof of this fact is his residence in Army house in Rawalpindi which should be used by COAS.

Third Martial Law (1977 to 1988)

Bhutto was very harsh to opposition. He targeted opposition leader Abdul Wali Khan of NAP and ousted his government in Baluchistan. Many party workers were arrested for alleged secessionist activities. Bhutto was accused of masterminding the murder of Ahmad Raza Khan's Father. The political crisis in the NWFP and Balochistan intensified as civil liberties remained suspended and an estimated 100,000 troops deployed there were accused of human rights abuses and killing large numbers of civilians.

In 1977 Bhutto contested and won the election against an alliance of opposition parties called PNA or Pakistan national alliance. PNA refused to accept the results and blamed Bhutto for heavy rigging. After many talks with PNA leaders Bhutto agreed to form a government of national unity and fresh elections.

At this time when most of the political problems were solved and opponents reached to an agreement, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq imposed martial law and arrested Bhutto and his cabinet. There was no need of this move but who can teach the army chief ?


Zia promised the nation for new elections in 90 days but kept on delaying them. When Nusrat Bhutto challenged the military coup of 1977 in court, our great Supreme Court Of Pakistan invented a new joke to save Dictatorship which is called "Doctrine of Necessity". His coup was declared legal by supreme court.

On September 16, 1978 General Zia declared himself the President of Pakistan. He brought many amendments to the original 1973 constitution, the most prominent was the power to dissolve assemblies.

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was hanged, or I will say murdered by Supreme Court of Pakistan on April 4, 1979.



On December 1979 USSR invaded Afghanistan. Zia was advised by many friends to be neutral but he refused to do so on ideological bases and expressed his intentions to support Afghan resistance. He involved Intelligence agencies in that war. This stance brought him in spotlight of western world specially USA. He quickly became champion of the "Free World". By 1981 he was receiving a lot of military and financial aid from America. Many people call it a proxy war of America but its a fact that Zia started it first and America joined it two years later. Its also true that If USA would not have joined at that time, results could be much more different and dangerous for Pakistan. Whether it was a right decision or not can be debated but its a fact that Zia never asked any one before taking this critical decision full of risks.

In 1984 Zia played a drama of referendum and elected himself as the president.

Afghan war left Pakistan with many new headaches. There was a sudden boom to Kalashnikov culture, Our society became less tolerant, Drug trade was at its peak and after the withdrawal of USSR from Afghanistan in 1988, the same Mujahideen started fighting each other which created a huge problem of refugees in Pakistan. Many of these refugees were also involved in smuggling and crimes.

His most prominent and long lasting changes in constitution were the Islamisation. Initially he used it as an excuse to stay in power and buy some more time. Then he started introducing some amendments and new ordinances to achieve this goal. The most notorious one is the Hudood Ordinance. It had many loop holes and was failed to satisfy most of the population. It has received a lot of criticism from human rights organizations. Penalties described in it were very strict and the procedure was not well defined. Drinking of alcohol was banned and a strict code of ethics was imposed on Television.

On May 29, 1988, General Zia dissolved the Senate and the National Assembly and removed the Prime Minister. He once again promised the nation that he would hold elections within the next 90 days. After dismissing Prime Minister he crushed the popular Movement for Restoration of Democracy with brute force. According to some sources 45000 troops were deployed in Sindh alone to crush the movement. These troops committed many human rights violations.

On August 17, 1988 when Zia was returning back from Bahawalpur on a C-130, his plane crashed killing Zia-ul-Haq, American Ambassador to Pakistan Arnold Raphel, General Herbert M. Wassom, the head of the U.S. Military aid mission to Pakistan and many Officers of Pakistan Army.

Second Martial Law (1969 to 1972)

After growing opposition and hatred against Ayub Khan he handed over power to Agha Muhammad Yahya Khan in 1969, who immediately imposed martial law. Yahya inherited a two decade old constitutional problem and inter-provincial ethnic rivalry between the Punjabi-Pashtun-Mohajir dominated West Pakistan province and the ethnically Bengali Muslim East Pakistan province.

Yahya wanted to address all of these problems but he was incapable of doing so and did not have considerable support in masses. All of his moves were either too late or completely wrong. He tried to increase quota of bengalis in army, a move which was opposed by other army men. It did not brought any good results. He was too much inclined towards Bhutto and kept on fulfilling his demands.

In 1971 elections Awami got almost all seats in East Pakistan but no or very few seats in West Pakistan. Same was true with Pakistan Peoples Party with majority seats in West Pakistan. Awami League of Sheikh Mujib ur Rahman got 162 seats in the National Assembly against 88 of PPP headed by Zulfiqr Ali Bhutto. It was a clear defeat of Bhutto but he refused to accept it. It was the responsibility of Yahya to invite Mujib's party to form a government but he kept on delaying it. At the same time Bhutto was running a campaign against Awami League and refused to accept the result of elections and chanted a notorious slogan of "Udhar tum Idhar ham". Sheikh Mujib was being denied of his legitimate claim to be the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Separatism was a natural consequence of this behaviour.

Yahya, instead of taking action against Bhutto who was creating most of the problems, launched a crackdown on Awami League and political agitation in East Pakistan to suppress separatists by force. Army launched "Operation Searchlight" and killed thousands on his orders, Intellectuals and political activists were his main targets. Sheikh Mujib was arrested on Bhutto's request and was awarded death sentence in a special army tribunal. It was a complete civil war within Pakistan which encouraged India to interfere and to take advantage of the situation. India attacked on East Pakistan. This attack was welcomed in east Pakistan and they got support of separatists. Pakistan army could not defend bengal because bengalis were supporting the enemy. Creation of Bangladesh as an independent country was the end result.

Yahya was blamed for all of this mess but Bhutto and Mujib were equally responsible. They were busy in pulling each others legs instead of fighting against Martial Law. Not accepting election results , crackdown on winning party and Demand of separate Bangladesh were acts of treachery.

On December 20, 1971 Yahya committed another blunder and surrendered his powers to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He could have selected some neutral personality but a traitor selected another traitor and Bhutto became civilian martial law administrator and the president.

Traitor Bhutto had close relationship with other two traitors Ayub and Yahya. He worked as cabinet minister under Ayub Khan and was promoted to head the ministries of commerce, information and industries. Bhutto became a close and trusted advisor to Ayub and aided him in negotiating the Indus Water Treaty with India. In 1963 he became foreign minister of Ayub. When Ayub started his down fall his best friend Bhutto betrayed him and joined opposition.

This new civilian martial law administrator , just like military counterparts, was hard on opposition. He dismissed the military chief on March 3 after he refused orders to suppress a major police strike in Punjab. He appointed Gen. Tikka Khan as the new Chief of the Army Staff in March 1972.

Bhutto ended his martial law on April 21, 1972.

First Martial Law (1958 to 1969)

On 7 October 1958 Major-General Sahibzada Sayyid Iskander Ali Mirza , the first president and last governor general of Pakistan, imposed first martial law. He gave the reason of introducing new constitution , more suited to people of Pakistan, to justify his act. But many people disagree with it. According to them he imposed martial just to remain in presidency for a little longer. He was afraid of losing his power after new elections under the present constitution which was only two years old at that time.

Only three weeks later, on 27 October, Field Marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan who was appointed as martial law administrator by Iskander Mirza, kicked him out of presidency and declared himself the new president. Thus the constitutional martial law turned into an act of treason.

This martial law was initially welcomed in Pakistan. He held an indirect referendum in 1960 and gave a new constitution in 1962. In 1964 he announced a presidential election. Fatima Jinnah, sister of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was his opponent. Ayub got 64% votes with heavy rigging in his favour.

Ayub allowed USAF to establish a communications monitoring facility near Peshawar. USA was allowed to use our air space and air bases. They conducted spy plane flights over USSR. By doing this he moved Pakistan into an open hostility with the USSR.

War of 1965 was a turning point of his rule. Tashkent Declaration was a betrayal and was not taken positively. This was the time when Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto turned against him and resigned from office. Ayub could not withstand the growing opposition and increasing pressure from Bhutto and Maulana Bhashani. He transferred his powers to another army man General Yahya Khan on 25 March 1969. This transfer of power was another big mistake by him. He opened the doors for another martial law.

Martial Laws in Pakistan & their Consequences

(Written by Kashif Iqbal Uppal)

Martial Law is a system of governance in which military takes control of law enforcement and running the country or a part of the country. In Pakistan its not a "system" , its just a tool of corrupt and power hungry Army officers to spend more time in their powerful positions and to plunder their own country.

They don't care about their oath and have a bad habit of suspending or completely eliminating the constitution. According to 1973 constitution of Pakistan this practise comes under the category of treason. Hence These martial law administrators are nothing but traitors.

These are the worst periods of history of Pakistan ,a disgrace to the nation. I have explained them one by one in the links given below

First Martial Law (October 1958 to March 1969)
Second Martial Law (March 1969 to April 1972)
Third Martial Law (July 1977 to August 1988)
Forth Martial Law (October 1999 to August 2008)

These humiliating Martial Laws have left many bleeding wounds , it will take a lot of time to cure them. Democracy was never allowed to flourish , political parties were destroyed, judiciary is nothing but a joke, constitution was neglected, our sovereignty was compromised, country got divided, civil liberties were bulldozed, civil institutions were destroyed, masses were left uneducated and all of this was done by our own Army. They have lost their right to be respected.

The most disturbing fact is that Army never learned from the past and no action was taken against these traitors. Yahya khan who was responsible for braking Pakistan was buried with full honour and military protocol. Musharraf is still roaming freely, there are some patriotic Pakistanis who follow him with shoes in their hands but our government is still providing cover to this traitor. In fact President Zardari is enjoying the powers given by Musharraf to him. Seeing all this I can say that there is a possibility of Martial Law in future again. But this time it will not be that easy and bloodless, people are fed up with these men in uniform, a disgrace to their own institution. They will be opposed and eventually humiliated. If they think that they can do whatever they want with the power of gun then there will be guns waiting for them. Whatever happening in FATA and NWFP is a "trailer" of a whole new episode, Similar things can happen in whole country IF our Army and their civilian supporters did not change their attitude.
