How August 05 exposed Modi, Imran &

Trump
At 05 August 2019, few months before #Corona crisis, under Religio-nationalist zeal,
Narinder Modi, in order to fix the biggest irritant (other major irritants are Indo-China
border communities, Indian Muslims & Sikh Punjabis) had not only removed special status
of Kashmir but also further divided it through a constitutional amendment that was in
direct confrontation with India's international commitments. Ruling BJP & Modi who was
elected 2nd time in May 2019 said in various statements that removal of special status of
Kashmir was in their election manifesto. What Pakistan than govt did 65 days to stop Modi
is a question that needs further probes? However, Pakistani PM, along with its handlers
visited US in July 2019. Express Tribune reported at July 24, 2019 as, 

General Bajwa is visiting Washington DC alongside Prime Minister Imran Khan on his
maiden visit to the US on the invitation of President Trump. The premier is accompanied
by the Adviser to PM on Commerce Abdul Razzak Dawood and Special Assistant on
Overseas Zulfi Bukhari. Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi was already present in
Washington as part of the entourage prior to the premier's arrival on July 21.

During the visit at 22 July it is repotted that US President told PM Pakistan that Indian PM
wanted his help on Kashmir Issue but what help Modi needs was not clear. Trump played that
diplomatic trick just before 12 days of August 05. Indeed, Modi needs US help so that like Sino-
India conflict (1962) US should neutralize Pakistan reaction. As we knew that removal of the
status of Kashmir was a vital strategic move and India would have planned it much before
August 05. At that time everyone knew well that for US Anti-China policy, India is a key player
(as suggested by H Kissinger in his 2013 book On China). Trump had already showed his Anti
China cards well. But Pakistani PM was either living in fool's paradise or ready to appease US
President for his own interests.... At July 22, 2019 it is reported

Trump meets Imran, says PM Modi Sought His Help on Kashmir Issue

A boy told his friend that he want to marry with Anisa, his friend asked what the chances are,
boy said 50-50. Atleast I am ready. 

Next day not only CNN but also Guardian reported that India had denied it

India’s foreign minister has firmly denied Donald Trump’s claim that the US president was
invited by the Indian government to mediate in the Kashmir dispute
Guardian 23 July 2019

Same day CNN too reported it 

India denies that Trump was invited to mediate Kashmir conflict after social media firestorm
But Imran Khan after his arrival at Islamabad called it a victory similar to Cricket World Cup. 

At 24 July 2019, BBC reported his statement as

‫ ’ایسا لگا ہے کہ میں کسی باہر کے دورے سے نہیں آرہا بلکہ ورلڈ کپ جیت کر آیا ہوں‬:‫‘عمران خان‬

After 9 days, Modi did August 05 and US helped him by not objecting like it did after Ukraine
crisis. So Modi definitely needed that help. 

In his article of August 30, 2019 Imran Khan had accepted that he had an eye on May 30th
Indian election than what was his preparation? 

we assumed that Mr. Modi’s increasingly hard-line positions and his rhetoric against Pakistan
were aimed to whip up a nationalist frenzy among the Indian voters with an eye on the Indian
elections in May.

After August 05, 2019 it was useless to say ''If the world does nothing to stop the
Indian assault on Kashmir and its people, two nuclear-armed states will get
ever closer to a direct military confrontation.'' It proved a lame excuse only. 

It is important to understand what Pakistani FO had suggested him since May


30th. 

After August 05, Imran Khan announced that along with public he will protest
every Friday for few hours but he did it only for one time. 

August 05, gave an opportunity to China and he said remember we are a party
in Kashmir dispute.

Indeed India had violated two UNSC resolutions 1949 & 1971 and after August 05, 2019, UNSC
resolution of 21st December 1971 has been invoked. The case of Kashmir special status is in
Indian SC. India is signatory of its UN commitments and at least in Simla agreement 1972
and Lhore Declaration of Feb 1999 India accepted Kashmir as bilateral issue. 
It is 4rth year now, but Modi could not neutralize Kashmir, Occupied Kashmir was already under
Indian control since 1947 so that strategic move of August 05, 2019 proved an atempy to convert
the converted only. It only give India more bad name in the world of nations. It is said that
special status to Kashmir was a trick with international community but actually Indian
establishment remained waiting for an opportunity for its merger. 
Modi visited US in September 2019, just one month after August 05 but Trump failed to ask
August 05 issue and that compromise exposed his gangster image too. 

After August 05, in Pakistan many people including PDM opposition alliance showed suspicions
of tricky mediation led by Trump. They believed that Kashmir issue was sold. Regarding tricky
mediations a Pakistani traditional rightist media group newspaper had published a cartoon. 
The cartoon displayed Trump and Modi sitting in a cart that was being pulled by Khan. Trump is
seen dangling a carrot in front of the Pakistani PM, who is thinking about intervention on the
Kashmir issue.

After some pressure from Anti media policies of Khan government the Newspaper the Nation
published an apology

But infect, it was true and it proved true after 4 years too. There was no mediation on the agenda,
no FO ever worked on it , The game exposed well when Trump said there is50% chances of
mediation as Pakistan is ready only. Aljazeera reported at 24rth September  when Trump met
with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan on the sidelines of the United Nations
General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Monday, a day after accompanying Indian
Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a political event in Houston.

“I would be willing to help if both wanted,” Trump told reporters while answering a question
ahead of his meeting with Khan. “If both Pakistan, let’s say, and India wanted me to do that, I
am ready, willing, and able. It’s a complex issue.” Trump first offered to mediate the conflict
during Khan’s bilateral visit to Washington, DC in July, claiming at the time that Modi had
asked him to step in.

From People point of view, August 05, exposed Imran Khan, its handlers, Modi and Trump well.
Kashmir was an issue and still it is an important issue. India want to play a role of responsible
nation but after August 05, it failed to respect its own international commitments.
