Recently I posted this tweet :
''I will
keep calling Jinnah a rascal as he was a shameless British agent, mainly
responsible for the British swindle called Partition on the basis of the bogus
two nation theory, which caused unspeakable horrors and sufferings to millions.
If most Pakistanis dont realise the truth, that's their problem''.

| Moeed Pirzada's inanity and mendacity |
In response, the Pakistani journalist Moeed Pirzada tweeted :
''Who
rejected Cabinet Mission Plan that had offered a loose federal framework for a
United India? With Defence, Foreign Affairs, Currency & Communication with
Delhi as Center & Education, Policing, Fisheries, local taxes etc with
groups of provinces? Who demanded division of Punjab & Bengal on religious
lines?
British
India as a legal & political unit was only 90 years old (1858-1947) whereas
Punjab & Bengal existed with their ethnic identities & borders for
hundreds of years!
Please think
& reflect before writing opinions that are called “figments of imagination”

I hold
Moeed in respect, as he has been bravely fighting against the reign of terror
unleashed by the Pakistan Establishment.
His problem,
however ( like the problem of many Pakistanis ) is that he dare not speak
against the Partition of India, as that carries a sentence of upto 10 years
imprisonment, vide section 123A Pakistan Penal Code. So Moeed dare not speak
the truth that Partition of India in 1947 was a British swindle
based on the bogus two nation theory ( that Hindus and Muslims are two separate
nations ), that in factwe are one nation, sharing the same culture, and were one since Mughal
times. The purposeof Partition was that united India should not emerge as a modern
industrial giant, like another China, and thus become a big rival to Western
industry.
In his tweet
Moeed refers to the Cabinet Mission Plan for setting up a loose Indian
Federation which he alleges Congress rejected.
I had
already replied to this in my interview by Moeed, where I said that the
Britishers were determined to partition India ( for reasons I explained ), and
the Cabinet Mission was just a ploy
The two main
British agents in this nefarious scheme of partitioning India were Gandhi and
Jinnah, as explained below
I submit
that since Indiaand Pakistan are really one nation, we are boundto reunite, however much time it takes,
for unless we do so we will be wasting our precious resources in hostility with
each other, and will remain condemned to massive poverty, unemployment,
malnutrition, etc.
Our problemsof massive poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, lack of healthcare and
good education etc can only be solved by becoming a united highly
industrialised country, and for that we require not a loose federation, but a
highly centralised government consisting of patriotic, secular, modern minded
leaders determined to rapidly industrialise and modernise the country and give
our people decent lives. For that a high level of scientific central planning
is required, which is not possible in a loose federation..
Some
Pakistanis say why should we unite with india when Muslims are being lynched
and other atrocities committed on them ?
My reply is
that this situation will not last much longer. Presently no doubt there are
forces which spread religious hatred and polarise society for political
benefit. But people will one day see through this ploy and design, and then a
powerful united people's struggle will arise, led by modern minded, patriotic,
secular leaders for creating a just social and political order, and for
peacefully reuniting India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
