RAW Funded Anti-Pakistan Squad Re-Surfaced

Sarah Khan

Remaining silent for a short span, the well known anti-Pakistan squad has resurfaced in Brookings, Newsweek, Indian Express and War on the Rocks churning out RAW sponsored propaganda against Pakistan. This time again Bruce Reidel, Hussain Haqqani and Christine Fair did not make any serious effort to change the content of their writings. In their respective articles they have published same old propaganda material with a new heading to get widespread attention in international media. Without any reasonable logic these writers have lost their reputation as seasoned writers due to their malicious baseless propaganda against Pakistan and its Armed Forces.

The content of writings by Hussain Haqqani and Christine Fair entirely contradicts ground realities. Due to their malicious writings, the National Defense University of Washington DC has removed their names from list of guest speakers. The only country where they can freely express their views is India. All three writers are occasionally found in various seminars/ conferences in New Delhi and Mumbai where they are found churning venomous propaganda against Pakistan.

These writers are busy in foiling fake stories and exaggerating events/ happenings in order to implement Modi’s dream of Pakistan’s international isolation. Christine Fair in her article titled, “Pakistan’s Unending War on Civil Society”, repeated that “Pakistani civil society has borne the brunt of the state’s predations for decades.  Since 2005, ethnic dissidents have renewed their insurgency in the western province of Balochistan”. She also repeated the content of her previous article published in Huffington Post, “Pakistan’s War on Scholars”. Similarly, paid by his RAW masters, Hussain Haqqani peddled the idea of accepting India’s regional hegemony. In his article, “Zero Sum Game is Up”, articulated that “If all of Pakistan’s friends are befriending India, perhaps it is time to give up the mantra of permanent enemy and come to terms with new regional and global realities”.

Similarly, Bruce Reidel in his article, “How Will Trump Handle a Pakistan’s Surprise”, has given a summary of his previous writings suggesting ban on US assistance to Pakistan for dismantling terrorism and militancy. He did not dilate upon likely Trump’s policies towards Pakistan. Though these writers continue to get their venomous propaganda published in leading international dailies, but the RAW funded squad has lost their credibility for their irrational continuous Pakistan bashing without any logic or ground realities.
