See what the Gazprom pipeline through Kazakhstan has led to... This, despite the fact that Russia and Kazakhstan do not even have a history of a no-holds barred bitterness as India and Pakistan have.

Re:IPI Pipeline

We all know it too well to trust Pakistanis with such an important project as IPI.But what about Iran!The present leadership and regime there cannot be relied upon either.When it comes to crunch,Shia Iran will stand by Sunni Pakistan against kuffar India.Our fatal weakness has always been our failure to recognize who our true friends are and our lack of will to stand by and with them.It doesnot take an Einstein to figure out that the only true allies we have are the U.S and Israel?Do our leaders have the courage and fortitude to accept this!I am afraid not!

I wonder, what thinking and precautions has Mukesh Ambani put in place while conceptualizing their Refineries so near to the Pakis.

There were stories that Ambani Sr. had assuarances from Nawaz Sharif that they won’t attack their Refineries at Jamnagar. But I reckon that Ambani’s may be smarter than relying on a Pakistani word – even if it is in writing.

According to Swaminathan Aiyar:

At this point, the pipeline can divide into two, with one section going north to Pakistan and the other going west to Kutch. Any sabotage of the main pipeline will hit Pakistan as badly as India -it will mean mutually assured destruction (MAD) of gas supply.

What if the Indian part of the pipeline is sabotaged? After all, aren’t the Mumbai attacks proof that this could happen?

I thought it was already put to rest the day we signed Nuclear deal?

@Ajay,

It was interesting to watch Kuldip Nayyar on TimesNow over the weekend. He still maintained that we should have ‘prominent people from Pakistan come here and meet our prominent people’; whatever thats supposed to mean. Guess candle-lighting sessions are going to continue for some time.

God knows what it’ll take Indian populace to realise that only thing preventing Pak from crumbling by itself is their common, shared hatred towards Hindus. Apart from the pipeline, another common “progressive measure” pushed forward by leftists is “people to people”contact.
