Retired Major General GD Bakshi has recently made headlines with his scathing critique of the Pakistani Army, particularly regarding their treatment of soldiers. Bakshi accused the Pakistani military of abandoning their own soldiers, especially after suffering losses in conflict. According to Bakshi, the Pakistan Army has been known to deny their soldiers decent funerals.
Bakshi's statements have sparked considerable discussion about military ethics and the dignity of soldiers, drawing condemnation and raising questions about Pakistan's military practices. These revelations come at a time of ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, adding another layer of complexity to the already strained relationship.
Adding to the scrutiny of Pakistan's actions, recent reports have highlighted the involvement of Pakistani officials in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. Tahawwur Rana, a key figure in the 26/11 attacks, has reportedly exposed Pakistan's lies, revealing that he coordinated the attacks with the ISI (Pakistani intelligence) and worked closely with David Coleman Headley. Rana, who was a doctor and captain in the Pakistani army, was allegedly sent on a secret mission to Saudi Arabia during one of the Gulf Wars. He was in India just days before the Mumbai attack and left for China via Dubai shortly before it occurred.
These revelations further implicate Pakistan in the planning and execution of the Mumbai attacks, despite their repeated denials. Evidence suggests that Pakistani handlers were in a control room, directing the terrorists on where and how to strike. Despite India providing evidence to Pakistan, there have been no convictions in Pakistan for these terrorist activities.
These accusations and revelations contribute to the complex and often fraught relationship between India and Pakistan. The accusations of denying soldiers proper funerals and the alleged involvement in terrorist activities paint a grim picture of the Pakistani military and its ethics.
