India wooing Pakistan’s allies; Fueling instability in region: Allama Naqvi

Renowned religious scholar Allama Syed Jawad Naqvi, head of Tehreek-e-Bidari Ummat-e-Mustafa, has voiced serious concerns regarding India’s growing influence on Pakistan’s traditionally friendly nations and its alleged exploitation of internal vulnerabilities within the country. Speaking in Lahore, Allama Naqvi painted a concerning picture of Pakistan’s diplomatic isolation on the global stage.

Allama Naqvi asserted that India has been strategically leveraging its economic and political ties to draw countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and various European nations into its sphere of influence. While acknowledging these nations maintain amicable relations with Pakistan, he argued that they have effectively become key allies and business partners of India. This, according to Allama Naqvi, is a significant factor contributing to India’s increasing success in isolating Pakistan across international forums.

Highlighting what he perceives as India’s dual-pronged strategy against Pakistan, Allama Naqvi pointed to terrorism and the exacerbation of internal discord as the primary weapons being employed. He claimed that India is utilizing these tactics in a highly systematic and organized manner to destabilize the country.

Drawing attention to statements reportedly made by high-ranking Indian military officials, Allama Naqvi stated that these officials have openly acknowledged the existence of elements within Pakistan willing to work towards Indian objectives. He specifically named “extremist religious elements, Takfiris, sectarian preachers and clerics, and separatist elements, particularly Baloch insurgents” as groups allegedly being manipulated by India to undermine Pakistan’s internal peace.

Furthermore, Allama Naqvi addressed the issue of militants operating from Afghan soil. Referring to these groups as “Khawarij,” a term reportedly also used by Pakistan’s establishment, he alleged their active involvement under India’s patronage. Given the limited resources of the current Taliban government in Afghanistan, Allama Naqvi suggested that these “Khawarij” are likely receiving military training and modern weaponry with India’s support.

Allama Jawad Naqvi’s statements underscore growing anxieties within Pakistan regarding regional geopolitical dynamics and perceived threats to national security. His assertions are likely to spark further debate and scrutiny of the complex relationship between Pakistan and India, as well as the internal challenges Pakistan currently faces.
