MANSOOR IJAZ WAS SPECIAL GUEST OF NDA – RAW ALSO?
The man behind the anti-Pakistan memo who has termed our national agencies as the world’s terrorists and wants our strategic assets placed under American control was the special guest of NDA it is learned. His special treatment at the hands of Atal Bihari Vajpayee came during the time when he was meddling in Kashmir
Though India opposes any third party mediation on Kashmir, the then National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government of Atal Bihari Vajpayee accorded Ijaz a status that befits only high-profile emissaries and, at least, on two occasions he visited Delhi on special “out-of-passport” visa, with full secrecy of his identity and itinerary.
According to the report Ijaz is a close admirer of RAW chief Chandar S Sahay.
Recalling his visit to Delhi, Ijaz heaped praise on Chandar D Sahay, then point-man on Kashmir in the RAW, (he later became its chief). Sahay, he believed, was the key man who made India’s hawks understand that peace in Kashmir meant giving the Kashmiris a stake—economic, moral, emotional— in the success of their choice to remain with India or become a semi-autonomous region.
Certain questions must now be probed most thoroughly by our security agencies. American officials dismissed the memo as ‘clumsy fake’ according to CIA analysts which explains why Admiral Mike Mullen could not even remember the memo which he termed as ‘not at all credible‘. Though Husain Haqqani has been very critical of the military in the past, he was the lone voice in US defending our military and intelligence agency after Abbottabad raid and even his critics say the memo is too stupid to be written by a clever man like Haqqani. But this is exactly the type of clumsy and badly done sabotage that is the hallmark of RAW.
It is widely known that India has been trying to drive a wedge between Pakistan and US military in order to cut off our access to the latest technologies and weapons. Mansoor Ijaz is also widely known as an anti-Pakistan operative and know it is also revealed his close connection to India. Could it be that the ‘memogate’ was actually hatched from the India Embassy with their old friend Mansoor Ijaz? One does not need to be a genius to add two plus two and get the answer.

PROTECTING OUR NUCLEAR ASSETS
At least six facilities widely believed to be associated with Pakistan’s nuclear program have already been targeted by militants. In November 2007, a suicide bomber attacked a bus carrying workers to the Sargodha air base, which is believed to house nuclear weapons; the following month, a school bus was attacked outside Kamra air base, which may also serve as a nuclear storage site; in August 2008, Pakistani Taliban suicide bombers attacked what experts believe to be the country’s main nuclear-weapons-assembly depot in Wah cantonment.
On 22 May 2011, militants invaded a major Pakistani naval base near Karachi, blowing up two P-3C Orion surveillance planes and killing at least 10 people on the base. Pakistani security forces required 15 hours to regain control of the base. Experts believe that nuclear-weapon components were stored nearby. In a series of interviews, several Pakistani officials told The Atlantic that investigators believe the militants had help inside the base. A retired Pakistani general with intelligence experience says, “Different aspects of the military and security services have different levels of sympathy for the extremists. The navy is high in sympathy.”
By eyeing our nuclear assets, jhadist elements are presenting an existential threat to the very security of the nation. If militants come close to taking possession of one of our nuclear weapons, we will find ourselves staring into an abyss. Even China has held secret talks in which an understanding was reached that no one will intervene to help us if the security of our nuclear weapons becomes compromised.
For all Pakistani patriots, the choice is clear. We must protect our security at all costs. The practical usefulness of militant groups is already in question. If they dare to cross this red line, they must be eliminated.
