Re: Military pushing ahead with Afghanistan border fencing
Well, you are insignificant in this matter. Durand Line was created by the British masters that the Pashtuns of Afghanistan accepted as their gods in the 19th century. The so called ghairat-mand Afghans didn’t fight a war and didn’t liberate that Pashtun belt of today’s KP and FATA. Their ghairat was tested once again when USSR occupied their country in 1979 because many Pashtuns sold their ‘ghairat’ to the Communists, and the rest who were ‘quite religious’ sold their ghairat to American CIA and Pakistani ISI to become Afghan Mujahideen. After the Soviets had been defeated, the great Pashtuns started fighting with each other till the CIA created Taliban in the 1990s to make peace in Afghanistan. What we gather from this scenario is that Pashtuns can’t live together peacefully. Whenever they are left on their own, they will fight and kill each other.
Since 1940 when the Pakistan Movement was going on, the Frontier Gandhi, Bacha Khan was licking the boots of Congress who didn’t have a policy to dissolve the Durand Line. When Pakistan became a reality and many Pakhtuns in the NWFP betrayed their Bacha Khan and decided to give their vote in referendum in Pakistan’s favour, they did so with the current status of Durand Line. Also there’s no war going on in the Pakistani side of Durand Line to change its status, if there’s any show me which one. If you feel that the Durand Line is still controversial and there’s no international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, it may be your opinion and you have the constitutional right to express it.
