After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian rulers are issuing statements very cautiously. In response to this, Pakistan is leaving no stone unturned to make Kashmir an international issue once again. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has increased his activism. The Trump administration is in touch with both the countries. In such a situation, a big question is whether India will launch a strong attack on Pakistan’s terrorist camps?
What is India’s preparation? Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s latest statement has come. Citing India’s zero tolerance policy on terrorism, he has reiterated his commitment to eliminate terrorists selectively. Foreign Minister Jaishankar has become very diplomatic now. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured unimaginable and strict action in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, while Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is still holding continuous meetings and getting updated on the preparations of the military forces.
Now let’s move towards internal preparations. CDS General Anil Chauhan is known for excellent strategy. He shares a great chemistry with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Sources in the Army Headquarters reveal that apart from the three army chiefs, regular meetings and contacts are also being held with the Coast Guard and the Border Security Force. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh know their targets. The most interesting thing is that India has also reconstituted its Security Advisory Board to send a clear message and former RAW chief Alok Joshi has been made its chairman. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has also said that the entire opposition is with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of the terrorist incident in Pahalgam.
Pakistan is also making noise
After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India took several steps including suspending the Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan also started making noise about pulling out of the Shimla Agreement in 1971. This is an attempt by Pakistan to make Kashmir an international issue. The neighbouring country has been trying for a long time to get the international community to mediate to resolve the Kashmir issue. Countries like America came forward, but the Shimla Agreement of 1971 has tied its hands and feet. India has always refused to accept mediation by any third country citing this agreement. The rulers of Pakistan are trying the same thing once again. Under this, they have said that there is a threat of a big attack from India.
For the last few days, it has given a notice of missile test for the fourth time in a row. However, not a single missile has been tested yet. The navies of both the countries are deployed in a position of war exercise at a distance of 85-90 km. Pakistan has been continuously violating the ceasefire agreement for the last seven days. It has also given a message by making its ISI chief the NSA. To give the message that tension is at its peak at the international level, Pakistan’s Home Minister, Defense Minister, Foreign Minister and others are creating an atmosphere of war-like situations. Not only this, they are even citing Pakistan being a nuclear power country. Diplomacy experts say that Pakistan has once again started playing devious tricks so that on the pretext of the Pahalgam terror attack, the Kashmir issue can be propagated as a situation of fourth war between the two countries.
What is the technical catch?
This attack took place on 22 April in the Baisaran valley of Pahalgam. The Baisaran valley is located quite far from the Line of Control (about 200 km) and in Indian territory. Some residents of Kashmir are also said to be involved in the masterminds of this attack. At the international level, Pakistan clearly denies its involvement in this attack. It has been linking it to the resentment of the local people of Kashmir with India and their campaign to liberate Kashmir from India. Its efforts are still going on.
In all situations like the terrorist attack in Mumbai on 26 November 2008, the attack on the Pathankot airbase, the attack on the army camp in Uri or the attack on the CRPF convoy in Pulwama, Pakistan has always been singing a one-sided tune. After such attacks, it does not hesitate to plead for cooperation in the investigation. Senior foreign affairs journalist Ranjit Kumar says that Pakistan has been able to escape with the help of its geographical position, international geopolitical equations and such fallacies. But after the Kandahar plane hijacking, Pakistan’s secret was revealed. After this, it was exposed in the Mumbai attack and subsequent events.
What is the international equation and President Trump’s intention?
US President Donald Trump is constantly giving the message of not being in favor of war in his second term. He is trying to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine. He is trying to realize the dream of Iran without nuclear weapons. He is giving the message of balancing Israel on Gaza of Palestine. However, it is being said that along with this, America is also preparing to build its base there. Similarly, the possibility of America trying to make its influence in Ukraine in a peaceful manner with the consent of Russia is being expressed.
