Letter to Editor:
Ban Ki Moon please “Re-Tweet”
Pakistan and India
14th
August and 15th August 2013 has dawned with the sun mocking at the
LOC – probably shining at a higher intensity to drain both sides to its maximum,
yet reflecting with its glare, 66 years gone and nothing has changed!
The NUST University Independence
Celebration and the stance of UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon on the NUST
podium addressing the students - was derision to what our current political
scenario is – what are the urgent policies required to handle LOC crisis!
Instead of spending hours and
hours on VIP dinners and meetings, if Ban Ki Moon would have advised the PM
Nawaz Sharif to hire a “Federal Minister
of Foreign Affairs” – with “immediate
effect”, he would have done us all an “immediate
favor!
We can’t afford a war or even
spend time on thoughts of its possibility!
The UN
Secretary General – Ban Ki Moon said that “I know that Kashmir
is a long standing issue, but the UN military observers (UNMOGIP) has been
trying to prevent any conflict across the Line of Control.” He further added,
“You should know that UNMOGIP is not mandated with any political role. So,
these political issues should be handled and discussed by the leaders of both
governments.”
How
conveniently, he avoided the LOC issue with “pure 100% diplomatic” answer –
with no sugar added, by saying that both sides should “discuss!” He didn’t
bother to firmly put this issue down on the table for two to talk!
To save hundreds and thousands of
both sides citizens from the “emotional
trauma” - Ban Ki Moon – should have logged on to both sides higher echelon and
“Re-Tweeted” India and Pakistan and in the end click – “favorite!” Which side? Is anybody’s guess!
