Lashkar-e-Taiba & Pakistan Flood Relief Camp

Call it plain irony . Pakistan faced worst floods since last 80 years and one of worst crisis since its independence. What geography could not do , what common history could not do , what similar culture could not do ,nature did. India humbly requested pakistan to accept aid from it which pakistan rightly did. The most unpopular country in pakistan ,that is USA was first to reach pakistan for assistance through nwfp border and usa collected around $200 million aid for pakistan. USA also sent its aid chief who co incidentally happens to be Indian-American , Mr Rajiv Shah!!!!!!!!!.

Mr rajiv shah’s pakistan calling was not spared from controversies. Rajiv shah reportely was threatened by extremist not because he has Indian link but because extremist have threatened all foreigners who came to assist pakistan in these terrible times!!!!!!!!. But what sparked controversy is Rajiv shah’s visit to a relief camp. Soon after his visit lashkar-e-taiba urf jamaat ud dawa claimed to dawn’s reporter that the camp is being run by them and so usa indirectly endorsed their activities!!!!!!!!

Rajiv shah and usa’s embassy in pakistan soon denied the claims and counter claimed that the camp was run by non other than united nations.

Lashkar e taiba’s camps are not new . They run terror camps 24 hours a day , 365 days an year but they also run relief camps during floods , earth quakes , run schools , assist poors and such stuffs. They love to run terror camps to kill Indians and run relief camps for branding in Pakistan. It works for them since they continue getting money as charitable trust , gain sympathy among people of Pakistan whom they serve and this helps them in running their killing system.

I dont have objection of lashkar e taiba having relief camps. If they get involved in charity activities for ever , I would be more than happy but running relief camps for needy and using guns to kill innocents at same time is something which doesnot make sense. But with extremist viewing world in narrow prism of we v/s they , human race is again not one unit.

As pakistan battles this calamity let us wish them well and hope lashkar expands its horizon and sheds its narrow view of world..
