Pakistan denies, but not his father!

Soon after Pak terrorist Mohammad Naved alias Osman Khan was nabbed by the BSF personal at Udhampur two days ago, he revealed himself as Pakistani national and Pakistan government has made no delay in rejecting his claims. It’s National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) declares that there are no records about such person in its data base.

But, a leading English daily of India Hindusthan Times, when contacted his father Mohammad Yakub Khan by phone, he admitted “Unfortunately Osman Khan is my son.” In his brief conversation with Indian media he said “Lashkar-E-Toiba and Pak army both are hunting for us. If they come to know that I spoke to Indian media they will kill me and my family. Lashkar militants may have expected that my son will be killed in the fight, but he survived. So, we are facing problems now.”

This is confirming that Osman Khan is a Pakistani citizen. At the same time, it is shocking to know that Pakistan government and Lashkar militants will wipe out the family members of the terrorists, who caught alive in India, probably to hide their nativity and other details. Lashkar militants may be attracting youth like Osman Khan and Ajmal Kasab etc. towards militancy taking advantage of their poverty. Indian and Pakistan both countries got freedom at a time just with few hours gaps in August, 1947. India was able to preserve its democracy and is also gradually transforming into developing nation, but Pakistan is unable to make long strides in development due to military influence on the democratic governments. As a result, majority of the people in the country are gripped by poverty. The militant gangs operating on Pakistan soil, taking advantage of their poverty is attracting the youth.
