(EOP)Indian Army Chief attempts to exploit Pakistan Soldier’s Death

Indian army chief General V K Singh is said to be a man of a few words. Going by his recent comments however, he shouldn’t be allowed to speak publicly at all.
Responding to Indian media’s assertions that the Pakistan Army website had apparently ‘owned up’ to an ‘ISI agent’s death by honouring him on its page, Gen. V K Singh said “It (the web post) clearly show what their intentions and ways are and what their next move will be. India needs to remain alert.’
Setting aside the fact that the web post on Pakistan Army’s page appears to be attempted sabotage and the latest episode of the ongoing Cyber war between hackers of Pakistan and India, the man in question, Naik Zulfiqar Ahmed was an employee of the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi. He was in India legally under and enjoyed full diplomatic status and immunity. He was taken ill due to kidney failure and passed away at Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi, after undergoing a lengthy treatment. His body was subsequently handed over to the Pakistan High Commission and was buried in Pakistan in 2007.

The enclosed death certificate and medical report confirms the above. The report archived by doctors Dr. A.K. Bhalla. Dr. Ashwani Gupta and others at Ganga Ram Hospital (New Delhi) confirms that Zulfiqar Ahmed was ‘admitted’ on November 1, 2007. In the official reports, Naik Zulfiqar Ahmed has been referred to as ‘Mister’ and a ‘Gentleman’ – not the words one would associate with a suicide terrorist. Furthermore, the report adds that there was possibility that Zulfiqar Ahmed was a patient of pneumonia.
Medical reports obtained from Lady Hardinge Medical College show Zulfiqar Ahmed’s body was embalmed there on November 16, 2007, three years ago.
Indian authorities have been fully aware of the legal and diplomatic status of Naik Zulfiqar Ahmed and his treatment and death at the Indian hospital. This however has not stopped Gen. V K Singh in lending credibility to baseless media reports which would be laughable if they weren’t tragic. Indian media’s attempt to exploit a soldier’s death who died of kidney failure while on duty for political gain is disgraceful and tasteless.
Another explanation for the erronous posting on Pakistan Army’s website points to it being possibly just a typographical error.
Hundreds of Pakistani soldiers have been martyred in suicide attacks in the last few years and have this mentioned as the cause of death on the ‘Shuhada Corner’ on Pakistan Army’s website. Bizzarely, the same page which apparently links Naik Zulfiqar Ahmed to a ‘Suicide’ operation, also contradicts this information immediately below by mentioning his cause of ‘Shahadat’ or martyrdom as “Neptrotic Syndrome/ARI” (a reference to nephrotic syndrome and acute respiratory infection).
Even though it may be possible in the make-believe land of Bollywood for a man to simultaneously blow himself up in a terror attack and die due to kidney failure at a major hospital, anyone with an ounce of common sense can see through the holes in this fabricated bullshit being propagated by the Indian media in the name of ‘journalism’. And General V K Singh should really have done better than confirming what many suspect – he’s an idiot.
