Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong message against terrorism especially that from across the border, Pakistan diplomats are working overtime to mount a counter. Some of them even suggest that Pakistan’s global isolation is a myth and that it is India that risks being isolated.
In a report published in Dawn, an unnamed diplomat has been quoted as saying that India won’t risk a war with Pakistan as it would adversely effect its economy. “There will be no war. We have no intention of starting one and India also realises that a war at this stage will destroy its economy.” Interestingly, the Karachi Stock Exchange had plummeted+ last week after small investors dealing with ‘penny stocks’ began panic selling – reportedly due to military drills being carried out in the country.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have been on the rise since the attack+ on an army base in Uri (Jammu and Kashmir) on September 18.
Four terrorists carrying grenades and food with Pakistani labels were gunned down, but 18 soldiers were martyred as well. India reacted sharply with PM Modi promising action against the perpetrators of the attack. In his monthly radio program on Sunday, he likened the Uri attack to the 1965 war and reposed faith in the Indian Army. “There is a lot of value to the anger that people of the country have. This is a symbol of the country’s awakening,” he said. “This anger is of the kind of ‘do something’… When 1965 war (with Pakistan) broke out and Lal Bahadur Shastri was leading the country, similar was the feeling, anger in the country. There was fever of nationalism. Everybody was keen to do something.”
Across the border though, India’s growing impatience with Pakistan’s inefficiency against – and support to – terrorism is being seen as a shift away from using diplomatic channels. “India is making a wrong example and it will hurt everybody,” a senior Pakistani diplomat was quoted as saying by local media. “If India continues on this path, it will end up isolating itself instead of Pakistan.” – Agencies
Dear indians we do not want war but we are ready for it
kashmir is an issue among both nations let us talk and resolve it according to the wishes of people of kashmir according to resolution of united nation and live peacefully
Look at different arguments in the media against India. 1. Nuclear weapons can be used over escalation ladder so any kind of war/limited-war should be ruled out. 2. Indus water treaty review and limiting/reducing/squeezing water flow to ‘enlightened neighbor’ is going to effect common people. So, it should be ruled out. 3. India would loose high moral ground on helping Baluchistan and it is not contiguous with India. So, it should be ruled out. 4. Cracking on internal enemies (not necessarily only muslims but also maoists etc) is like human rights violations. So, it should be ruled out. And list goes on. Can these IDIOTS from media care to give credible/viable alternative? If they can’t, they better keep their big mouths SHUT.
Right at least to a large extent! Nobody can even guess about their foolish and inhuman decisions, as happening in the borders presently! India has to be very very careful as they are the most distrustful humans in the world!
If Germany and France can be friends after world war, Japan and America were allies even though US strike Nuclear bombs, why cant India and Pakistan solve problems through peace talks. Arms exporters wants War between India and Pakistan, they are the conspirators …..
India is coward country can’t fight war India indirectly will declare proxy in Pakistan India itself is terrorist sponsor country India funding Afghanistan for sending terrorist to Pakistan and indian Raw agents captured in balochistan Indian state acting In Pakistan but Pakistan don’t cry like you crying when none state actors acting in India
Glad to see that Pakistan is the only problem to India now. India is self sufficient to provide food, shelter, medical and all basic necessities to each and every citizen. All Indians have access to the clean water and toilets. Rape is a rare thing even rape victims have awarded Ratna awards. No poor has been found on the roads since ages. Even all dalits, muslims and sikh have embraced Hinduism after seeing such a nice treatment and behavior of Hindus with them. India has influenced world economy in such a way that third world countries always seek financial aid from India. India could have become World leader under the wise leadership of Modi sarkar but the only constraint India is facing is “Pakistan”. Is it or not guys?
