Pakistan likely to slip into Taliban’s hands: Swamy

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy said that he expected Pakistan to slip into the hands of the Taliban as 70 per cent of the country’s army which controlled national politics supported the outfit.

Speaking at the ‘Aurora – Pragnya Puraskar’ award of Pragna Bharati organisation to a retired professor of Osmania University K. Venkat Reddy here on Sunday, Dr. Swamy warned that India was ‘an incomplete project’ of Taliban and the Al-Qaeda. He felt that Balochistan and Sind would not be ‘Talibanised’ because of their geographical location.

Making a strong case for India to build a friendly relationship with Israel, he said it was essential because the latter had the finest counter-intelligence techniques to fight Islamic terrorism. The country needed a close working relationship with Israel but unfortunately not a single Prime Minister ever visited that country.

Dr. Swamy sought a contractual relationship with the U.S. based on ‘give and take’ as India could not expect help by that country on merit. The U.S. always believed that India was unreliable, he added.
