As Pakistan wakes up to the New Year, we read in our national newspapers that a 5 man team from the FBI was recently in Pakistan to investigate the Mumbai attack. They went high. They went low. They even went to Faridkot. But they found no Ajmal Kasab.

For India, the result of the FBI visit is another slap in the face. Since the Mumbai attacks, the Indian government has showed no hesitation in blaming “elements in Pakistan” and our ISI, but as the days pass the world sees that India’s hysterics were nothing more than hysterics. The proof doesn’t exist.

How can I say that? The FBI itself stated that Ajmal Kasab is not Pakistani. While India would like to push forward with its disinformation campaign the people are now starting to understand the true dynamic between India and Pakistan.

Additionally, W called President Zardari yesterday and asked that Pakistan cooperate in a joint investigation structure with India, which is what Pakistan’s government officials have been saying since the attack happened. Now, as India’s story falls apart, the United States are putting pressure on the Pakistani government to cooperate. But can the United States assure that India will not create evidence to try to pressurize Pakistan, much like they tried to paint initial evidence to corner Pakistan?

India has proven to the world that they are untrustworthy. The story that has been told to the world has been checked and re-checked by numerous news organizations only to find massive holes of fact. 

This is a repeat of the finger-pointing that happened after the Samjhauta Express massacre when Pakistan was accused of carrying out the attack with the assistance of the ISI. Instead, when India investigated, they found that their own Army intelligence had carried out that and other attacks.

Until India accepts that it has massive security problems from groups within India, India can never be incredible again.

It’s now time for the world to pressure India to tell the truth and share the evidence with reputable investigation organizations.
