Pakistan has, yet again, notified the world of dangerous Indian designs that threaten the already vulnerable regional security situation. The “credible information” of “India planning a surgical strike against Pakistan” prompted Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi to arrange, on Friday, an urgent presser in Abu Dhabi where he was ending his two-day visit to the UAE during which he held meetings with the top Emirati leadership. Elaborating what he called a "serious development", the foreign minister said India was already "trying to seek tacit approval [for the strike] from important players who they consider to be their partners" in to bid to “divert attention from its internal affairs” and as a “means to unify divisions within the country”.
Qureshi’s presser loosely coincided with Indian troops targeting a UN vehicle near Rawalakot from across the Line of Control – something that prompted a strong condemnation by Pakistan, with the Foreign Office describing it as an indication of a “new low” in the conduct of Indian occupation troops. The vehicle, carrying two members of the UN Military Observers Group for India and Pakistan, was hit at 10:45am on Friday by what the UN says an “unidentified object” – even though these white vehicles, hoisting blue UN flags, are clearly recognizable from long distances due to their distinct make and type and clearly visible markings.
Islamabad has repeatedly alerted the world about New Delhi’s continuous attempts to use Pakistan as a bogeyman to divert attention from its human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir and general mismanagement of the Indian economy and state. Just last month, Islamabad unveiled a dossier of evidences about the Modi government’s ‘grand design’ to disrupt peace and progress in Pakistan and presented the same to the UN secretary general as well. And at the Abu Dhabi presser, Qureshi has made it loud and clear that Pakistan is fully prepared to respond to and defeat India's designs. “We will do it […] as we did respond immediately and effectively in February 2019,” he warned while referring to the downing of an Indian air force jet and the capture of its pilot.
The world can no more afford to ignore that India is playing with fire.
