There is great talk now about hanging or not hanging this or that Indian or Pakistani convicted for spying.
Brigadier Tirmizi ex ISIs book profiles of intelligence states that Munir Ahmad Khan Chairman Atomic Energy Commission Pakistan was spying for USA. One of the editorials of Pakistan Times published in 1947 or 48 stated that G.Ahmad brother the first Pakistani Director of Intelligence Bureau a brother of secretary Aziz Ahmad was a British spy. The list is countless. Ayub Khan also refers in his diaries to the incident that Indian war plan was purchased in late 50s , what Gohar Ayub in glimpses from corridors of power states was sold by FIELD MARSHALL MANEKSHAW for a gardening set. Another Indian author I read also stated that Manekshaw had links with Brits. All these can be debated but the fact remains that in pakistanb and india only poor border crossers referred to in intelligence terminology are prosecuted. No one has charged anyone for genocide or for any betrayal at higher level. The law is basically for the poor man. In cases of espionage official secrets act of 1923 , no politician bothered to revise this arbitrary British law. Its so arbitraty that a man loitering near any armed forces installations can be hanged. No Pakistani politician made any attempt to change it. Even the Pakistani politicians failed to give the army personnel the basic constitutional right to appeal enjoyed in India. Thus while ZA Bhutto did allow this initially , he immediately took it back once the Attock Conspiracy took place.
If you look at the Pakistani politicians they are 80 % the descendants of those who collaborated with the British in 1857.
Statistics reveal that between 10 to 200 suspects in espionage cases are tortured to death by the armed forces intelligence agencies.No one is prosecuted.There is no record of these tragic victims of outright murder.The excesses committed by Pakistani law enforcement agencies armed forces , civilian intelligence or police can be fairly matched with Indian excesses in Kashmir. Why talk about plebiscite in Kashmir. What about a plebiscite in Balochistan or tribal area.
The grand party of crooks continues since 1947. Malik Riaz gifts expensive houses to army generals many of them sons of rankers and no one talks. But when Captain Babar was mistakenly and falsely convicted of removing a bulb from his office he was dismissed from army. Now we have Corps Commanders called Crore Commanders but they are perfectly respectable.
As I see it now the army and politicians in Pakistan have compromised.So the looting party will start with greater enthusiasm. I doubt if any new government will change anything. Musharraf is a mean mortal. He will go but the nexus of civil military corruption will stay. As long as this state exists.
No court sentenced General Afzaal pakistani DMO or Field Marshal Manekshaw or Moraji Desai ex PM India to death.
Notes from Spynest published in many volumes from US documents captured from US Embassy Tehran state that Pakistani boss of military operations,custodian of Pakistani warplan was a US spy. The names include Sahibzada Yaqub also Gohar Ayub Khan's memoirs state that Indian Chief Manekshaw sold the Indian war plan in 1950s to buy an expenisve gardening set for his wife which was then bought from paki intelligence money. Moraji Desai ex PM india was said to be a CIA spy. Its all economic. These death sentences are for the poor man only.
As I understand that in Pakistan there is no law. One force is the army , another are the feudal-industrial politicians and thats all. Since the country was created by a small franchise not beyond 5 % of the population its a story of crooks looting the country. Basically financed by Muslim business classes from Gujrat and Bombay with support of Punjabi and Muslim feudals who were heavily in debt to Hindus this so called Islamic Republic was haven of all crooks. The situation continues till todate.Now the army generals again mostly lower middle class or middle class social climbers struck a deal with politicians condoning their scams by the so called NRO. This was done by Musharraf not for any idealistic reason but so that he is not prosecuted for his corruption. A magna carta of crooks.
