Hoist in one's Petard

Interior Minister Rehman Malik has once again claimed that India is fomenting unrest within Pakistan through steps such as funding Taliban fighters based along the border with Afghanistan.

Malik said he was "convinced" India is among "certain hostile agencies" that are backing the Taliban to create instability in Pakistan.

Asked during an interview to a TV news channel as to who was backing the Taliban, he said: 'There are certain hostile elements against Pakistan and there are certain hostile agencies which do not want Pakistan to be (stabilised).'

In response to a question on whether India is among the hostile agencies, Malik said, 'Yes, of course, I am convinced. I have no doubt about it. I was very open. I have given the full details. If the interior minister of India or anyone else wants to confront me, I will be very happy to confront them because I know what I am saying.'

Malik had said last week that Pakistan has "solid evidence" of India's alleged involvement in fomenting unrest in Balochistan province and this can be shared with Indian ministers or representatives at any forum of their choice.

'I invite their interior minister or anyone else (to come to Pakistan) and I will put on record all the material about India's interference in Balochistan. I will prove it to the world,' he had said.

USA and Pakistan are now facing the consequences of creating a Frankenstein to subdue the Soviet Union in its misadventure in Afghanistan.
The Soviets understood that it would be a long drawn out battle and made a tactical withdrawal.
The USA with its desire to police the world was left holding the infantile terror. It kept looking the other way when the Taliban hijacked a plane over Indian skies and took it to Pakistan.
It kept looking the other way when they destroyed the centuries old statues of Buddha.
They continued to close their eyes when Pakistan started exporting terror to India.
It was only when the Frankenstein attacked the world trade centre that they woke up from their slumber and decided to take action.
Pakistan now found that the Taliban army which they had created were driven out of Afghanistan and came over to Pakistan which was the only safe haven left for them.
But these rugged, uneducated people were taught only to fight. Hence, when they came back, they started fighting their creator.
There is no point in blaming India.
How do they say it ?
"Hoisted in one's own petard"
India Supporting the Taliban!!
If the matter was not so serious, it would indeed be laughable.
