US coercive policy toward Sino-Pak relation & Indian factor

If we compare United State (US) policy toward Pakistan with US policy toward India, we will analyze that how much US is biased toward India. US has always favored India and US did always criticize Pakistan, in the case of Pakistan civil nuclear deal with China, US and India has got another evidence to malign Pakistan on international level. China is not only Pakistan’s superlative neighbor but also reliable friend who always helped Pakistan in every trouble; China extended its cooperation with Pakistan in all fields of life but unfortunately our rulers have been eyeing at America despite knowing the fact that US had always preferred India to Pakistan in all affairs like in defense cooperation, joint military exercises, transfer of atomic technology and trade etc. India has crazy ambitions and wants to be an hegemonic power in South Asian region and US also supporting India because US see India as best candidate in South Asia to counter China. US and India both had signed civil nuclear deal while US officials said Pakistan should not aspect same deal from US, but on other hand Pakistan is US ally in war against terrorism, and Pakistan had deserved same deal, when Pakistan-China concluded civil nuclear deal, US and India show concerns over that deal. In Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG) meeting in New Zealand, China announced to build a 650 mw nuclear power plant in Punjab, Pakistan and adopted the stance that the US had also signed an agreement of the same nature with India in 2005, through this deal, India would have massive nuclear facilities for the civil purposes and its current reactors and nuclear weapons material would remain devoted for the nuclear weapons. While in case of Pak-Sino civilian nuclear deal both U.S and India has sought a clarification from Pakistan regarding the Sino-Pak Nuclear Deal, while Islamabad has rejected the demand for the clarification. The Foreign Office spokesman, Mr. Abdul Basit retorted the statement by saying that, “Sino-Pak nuclear deal is for peaceful purposes and no country should have any objection”, an another statement issued from Chinese Embassy in Washington, “Pak-China civil nuclear pact did not violate International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) laws and it has been designed in accordance of International law, therefore no one should raise objections on it”. Chinese official further argued that China is friendly and neighboring country of Pakistan and China will cooperate to meet Pakistan’s energy needs, and both states have closed cooperation in other different sectors also and China signed the agreement keeping in view Pakistan’s energy needs and that deal was necessary to overcome Pakistan’s energy requirement; these arguments shows that Pak-Sino civil nuclear deal is for pure peaceful purposes while on one hand US and India has same nuclear deal but in case of Pak-Sino civil nuclear deal they both have concerns. US is sole super power, so both IAEA and NSG were unable to sustain the US pressure for objection over the Indo-US Nuclear Deal, but now they are creating hurdles for Pakistan, this all show how US is preferred India over Pakistan. US talk about arms control but that is the fact that US is only state who test its nuclear weapons on civilian (Japan), and also first state in world who got nuclear weapons, in the case of violation of NPT, China by concluding deal with Pakistan did not violate NPT because Pak-China Nuclear Deal was concluded in 1986, and at that time China was neither the member of NSG nor it had signed the NPT; China signed the NPT in 1992 and became the member of NSG in 2004. While by concluding nuclear deal with India, US violated this treaty. US officials vowed that any state that has not signed the NPT cannot be granted the facility; and China has granted Pakistan, but the sole super power neglected the fact that India is also a non-signatory to NPT, and to facilitate India is also violation of NPT. US has concern over Pak-Sino civil nuclear deal while US promoting same deal with India; as India has craze of hegemonic power in South Asia, instead of using counter strategies US promoting deal with India while making hurdles for Pakistan. Pakistan is liberal state who is even against discriminatory terms of FMCT; Pakistan did emphasis that not only future but also present stockpile of fissile material must include in that treaty, while India was against that. Pakistan is not involved in proliferation issue, US must stop dictating Pakistan. Pak-Sino nuclear deal is under the IAEA safeguards, while US and India pointed finger on Pakistan, disregarded the fact that they both also has same deal. In 2009, India has tie up a significant civil nuclear deal with the Russian Federation. The deal had aimed to ensure the transfer of nuclear technology and a continuous supply of nuclear fuel to the Indian nuclear reactors. According to that deal, Russian Federation will has to set up four nuclear reactors in Tamil Nadu State (Kudankulam) and one in the West Bengal area. This deal is inimitable and unique because of the fact that, Russia would not stop the supply of nuclear fuel and material, even if India goes for the conduct of future nuclear tests; now here question raise that why US has no objection on that deal because this deal can start arms race in South Asia, Russian Federation (former Soviet Union) is also US collaborator in effort of non-proliferation, and both did efforts for negotiations on arms control and disarmament agenda, if Russian Federation would conclude same agreement with Pakistan, both India and US will be the first to criticize that deal. India has also engaged in concluding deal with Canada, According to that deal, Canada will support India in the establishment of nuclear reactors, as well as import of uranium to India. That particular deal includes cooperation in the management of nuclear waste and radiation safety; now again this deal also shows US discrimination with Pakistan, Canada is US ally, if US has concerns over Sino-Pak deal and pressurizing them for that deal than how US can not pressurize Canada to stop concluding nuclear deal with India? India on one hand going to conclude nuclear deals with other states while in case of Pakistan, India shows concerns. US should admit the fact that without the support of Pakistan US can not win its so called war on terrorism (WOT) in Afghanistan, and no other South Asian state affected by WOT as Pakistan, but still US preferring India over Pakistan. Now Pakistani rulers should open their eyes and should realize the US discrimination, US is not our ally, US had left Pakistan in hard times; so Pakistan instead of associating hopes with the West,( especially US), has to take further steps to strengthen relations with China, Pakistan should promote its cooperation with China; because US is always there to criticize Pakistan. Let the try US, and India, I am hopeful that their criticism and discrimination will not be able to diminish Pakistan’s spirits.
