RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in ‎‎the‎ ‎‎Pakistani city of Lahore, Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Jawad ‎Naqvi, the principal of Jami’at Urwat ‎‎al-Wuthqa Islamic ‎Seminary, said‎, “On the borders of Pakistan, tension is on its peak. Last ‎week, a suicide attack took place against Indian forces. It was the first incident involving a ‎suicide bombing in Kashmir. It’s a beginning of new method of war which was used in other ‎places before like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and Syria but this hasn’t been used ‎before in Kashmir. It looks like this is a new direction inside Kashmir. It’s the Indian ‎politicians and forces who have made Kashmir reach this stage.”‎

The Pakistani scholar ‎ added, “They have disgraced, humiliated, insulted and overwhelmed ‎them in beastly manner and made them reach this stage, provided this attack was done by ‎the freedom fighters of Kashmir. In this situation, India is responsible for this attack. From ‎the time that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of Modi came to power, they ‎have adopted the same Israeli policy against Kashmir. The Israelis insulted, humiliated, killed ‎and subjugated the Palestinians and the same has been done by Indians.” ‎

He said, “They have molested women, they have shot children, they have blinded many ‎people, they have barged inside homes, they have violated mosques. They sacrilege the ‎dead bodies of Kashmir. they have arrested youths, and tied them up on jeeps as human ‎shield. These are more provoking then the just simple killing. They wanted the people of ‎Kashmir to reach this leave and show this reaction. If this attack was done by Kashmiris, ‎then it’s the India government and forces who made Kashmiris reach this stage where they ‎did this. ‎

Hujjat al-Islam ‎Naqvi explained, “One opinion about the Pulwama attack is that India has put ‎the blame on Pakistan and on Jaysh al-Adl, which is a banned Pakistan-based terrorist outfit. ‎They have put the blame on Pakistan and its army and have threatened war. They want to ‎reply with war. There is a lot of provocation happening in India and war is about to happen. ‎One reason for this that elections are going to happen this year. For the current government ‎to win the elections, the biggest card is animosity with Islam and Muslims. They want to ‎show Pakistan as the greatest threat to India to the level that Pakistan will swallow India if ‎the BJP doesn’t come to power.”‎

His Eminence said, “The way the United States makes this policy is by showing that because ‎of Iran and North Korea, the security of the United States is in danger. In order to secure ‎themselves, they made excuses to attack various countries. India is following the same trend ‎and they say that due to Pakistan, India’s security is under threat and the survival of India ‎lies in attacking Pakistan. Such an atmosphere is going on in India and many politicians, ‎media organizations and others are fueling this to create a serious war environment. There is ‎a high level of determination which exists in India to build pressure to attack Pakistan but ‎there isn’t such a level of determination ‎in Pakistan.”‎

He said, “Our government is busy in internal war with opposition parties. They want to ‎attack our borders and are engaged in internal attacks on the opposition. India has followed ‎the strategy of 9/11. In simple words, this strategy is to harm themselves. This is something ‎done ordinarily also on daily basis. If they want to get someone else in trouble, they shoot ‎their own feet and say someone has shot me. This is a strategy to harm themselves and put ‎the blame on others and then drag them to court or take revenge themselves. This is done ‎by ordinary criminals who don’t have excuse to fight with someone. This criminal method has ‎become a global strategy for the United States.” ‎

Hujjat al-Islam ‎Naqvi ‎stressed, “They attack their own selves like on 9/11 and then they ‎make excuses to attack someone else. The perpetrators of 9/11 were Saudi trainees who ‎were studying in the United States. The United States made them enter the airports and they ‎hijacked the aircrafts and then attacked the World Trade Centre, then they blamed ‎Afghanistan. If the Afghans could have thought to this level and penetrated acts inside the ‎United States at this level, then Afghanistan could have been a superpower. This is one view ‎about the Pulwama attack. This is the strategy of India to attack themselves, then use this ‎excuse to declare Pakistan as such an enemy that if people don’t vote for Modi, then ‎Pakistan will annihilate India. To achieve this goal, Modi played this game. This is one view ‎which is being discovered and due to this, the Kashmir movement will also come under ‎control of Pakistan. Whatever was the reason, a serious front has been created against ‎Pakistan.” ‎

His Eminence said, “Our Prime Minister [Imran Khan] has given three options – that we can ‎negotiate, investigate or engage in war. We are ready for all three. Maybe he wants to ‎engage in all three. That first is that they want to engage in war, then negotiate and end the ‎war and then investigate and see if the war was essential to fight or not. When two atomic ‎nations engage in war, then this wouldn’t just be a political issue. In India, a passion is being ‎created for war and for Pakistan also there are these plans. There is a determination with ‎which this issue should never have been seen, then this is the last option where no one will ‎be left because both are atomic powers. At times, external elements are giving this ‎impression.”‎

He stated, “The enemies of Pakistan also want this war to occur and the enemies of India ‎also want this war to occur. There won’t be any lack of determination in India as it’s an ‎election year but in no determination has been seen Pakistan. Modi is a shrewd politician, he ‎wants to show India under a great threat and Modi wants to become hero. All the Hindu ‎deities, such as Krishna, Ram and Hanuman are those heroes who have fought extraordinary ‎wars against great powers and have become deities who are worshipped. Modi wants to ‎reach such a level that people worship him. They are studying this, unlike our people who ‎bring out every event and just foresee this as sign of the reappearance. Like they see any ‎one-eyed person, they think this is the dajjal. The dajjal is a sedition which will be born in the ‎last era. ‎

Hujjat al-Islam ‎Naqvi ‎said, “In the same way they have taken these prophecies from their ‎ancient books and they interpret them in regard to Modi. As their deities come as avatars ‎and take a human form. Ram will come inside some man and does the same. The same ‎impression is being created for Modi, that he is a deity that has come to fight Pakistan. ‎Whereas Pakistan is the size of one Indian state. The population of India is five times higher ‎than Pakistan’s population. They are telling their people that Pakistan wants to destroy ‎them. They are creating extreme hatred against Pakistan and ordinary people can be easily ‎mislead as the majority are blind followers. There are many who play with the sentiments of ‎the people. “‎

His Eminence noted, “There are two groups, one is the politicians and other group is ‎religious figures who invoke people. Both of these groups exist in India and are fueling ‎people against Pakistan and Muslims. In this situation, a lot of determination is required in ‎Pakistan and planned steps is required and talks are required but the situation in the country ‎makes it unsuitable.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam ‎Naqvi ‎stated, “Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, Shah Mahmoud Qurayshi, has ‎some weight in his words. He has predicted that India will create some sort of a an incident ‎in Kashmir and use it as an excuse to blame Pakistan. Nitin Gadkari, the Minister of Road ‎Transport and Highways of India, has warned that India will stop the flow of India’s share of ‎river water to Pakistan under the Indus Water Treaty. They are making such statements and ‎until the election this atmosphere will be there. All Pakistan organizations should manage this ‎until the elections in India.”
