Is Nawaz Sharif the political face of Deobandi terrorists? // Is the mullah-military nexus crumbling?
Nawaz Sharif has given legitimacy to the Takfiris who have killed thousands of innocent Pakistanis. One can imagine what is in store for non-Deobandis of Pakistanis who make up more than 85 percent of the population. The people of Pakistan must... force Nawaz Sharif to work for Pakistan, and not for the Takfiri agenda of Saudi Arabia.

On the eve of Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif’s visit to the White House last month, the New York Times published an op-ed piece, “An incomplete democracy”, by Michael Kugelman, a senior program associate for South Asia at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars. The entire Pakistani media blacked it out because the writer - and through him the New York Times itself- acknowledged what we at LUBP have been claiming for the past 5 years:
That Nawaz Sharif’s PML-N (and now the PML-N government) is the political face of Takfiri Deobandis led by the banned terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ, currently operating as Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat Deobandi ASWJ-D). Pakistanis must read the article as it also points out the sinister role played by the ISI-Army in the misery in which the people of Pakistan have been hurled. About the connections of the Nawaz League with the LeJ, the New York Times Michael Kugelman:
“Mr. Sharif’s government, for instance, has called for dialogue with the fundamentally antidemocratic Pakistani Taliban. It also does little about the horrific plight of Pakistan’s religious minorities. In fact, Mr. Sharif’s political party has been associated with militant organizations like the Sunni extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.”
(Read the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/23/opinion/international/an-incomplete-democracy.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0)
Although Nawaz Sharif’s is a democratically-elected government, he has been calling for a dialogue with outfits which do not believe in democracy and want to destroy Pakistan’s constitution and political-democratic. This is not only ironic, it also shows that the Sharif government itself has little regard for democracy. This is true historically because in the past Sharif’s PML-N has always undermined democracy whether in power or in opposition.
The Sharif government has done little to end “horrific” miseries of the minorities in Pakistan. Records show that anti-minority carnages and acts of vandalism were planned and executed by the operators PML-N and LeJ (Read: http://lubpak.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/2013-02-04_SISA2_The_New_Frontiers_-_Ayesha_Siddiqa.pdf).
The last sentence is very significant. It does not say that the PML-N and the LeJ are “allegedly” partners-in-crime. It clearly says that the PML-N and the LeJ ARE terror allies.
There are a couple of questions to ask at this point. First, why didn’t Pakistani media raise hell over the New York Times claim that the PML-N and the LeJ are partners-in-crime? Second, why didn’t the Sharif government sue the New York Times for making this claim? After all, a successful lawsuit against the New York Times would have brought enormous moral and political benefits to the Sharif government. The answer to the two questions is the same: What the New York Times claimed about the PMLN-LeJ is hundred percent true. Thus, total silence all over.
That the PML-N and the LeJ are two faces of the same outfit has been a leitmotif of the LUBP coverage of the Takfiris and their terrorism unleashed on the Shias, Ahmadis, Hindus, Christians, and moderate Brelvis of Pakistan. We have always argued that the Islamofascist outfits like the Sipa-e-Sihaba (now known as Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamat Deobandi ASWJ), the Taliban, and the LeJ and their politician brethren known as Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz Group/N) are the creations of General Zia ul Haq (1977-88) who radicalized the Pakistan society to please his Saudi mentors. Since the General’s death, PML-N and ASWJ-LeJ have been working fast to convert Pakistan into a Deobandi-Salafi society where there is no place for dissent and religious-political diversity... read more:
Is the mullah-military nexus crumbling? The latest statement from the military blasting chief of the Jamaat-i-Islami Munawar Hasan for undermining the sacrifices made by the soldiers fighting terrorists has shocked many in the capital. The JI traditionally, has been the mouthpiece for the military during the 1980s Afghan jihad and fighting in Kashmir. It’s also established that the army had used the Jamaat’s street power to put democratic governments under pressure through controlled or sometimes out of control protests. It is also believed that there is a huge following of JI in the armed forces. Even the arrests of Al Qaeda leaders, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, from the residences of JI activists has not affected the military-JI relations in the past.
So, is it a signalling of sorts that the military is trying to portray itself as a national army now as compared to its earlier image of an ideological force whose notion of jihad is similar to Jamaat-i-Islami? But what prompted this strong reaction by the military needs to be examined. Even pragmatic military rulers like Pervez Musharraf had to seek help from the JI to prolong his tenure. Then why is it that the Jamaat and the military are finding themselves at the crossroads today? read more:
