Indian terrorism

It is obvious and understandable as to why there is a terror spike in Balochistan. It is an outcome of Indian meddling and its bizarre attempt to sow the seeds of dissent. The fact that the cowardly Khuzdar attack has come close on the heels of a valiant success story by Pakistan over India in a four-day duel testifies that Delhi is now out for revenge by making use of its sleeper cells and terror outfits inside the restive provinces of Balochistan and K-P.

The attack on a school bus and killing of six children is a crime against humanity. The fact that pro-India proxies mushrooming inside Balochistan are behind it must be taken note of by the world community, as has been done by the UNSC by condemning the "heinous and cowardly terrorist attack". It is no secret that India has nefarious designs against Pakistan. And now having tasted defeat in the recent military encounter, the Hindutva-driven dispensation is opting for overt and covert tactics in the form of water stoppage and gun-running terrorism.

The military brass that met on Friday has rightly termed these malicious activities as 'Fitnah al-Hindustan' and vowed to exterminate the entire nexus of "externally-sponsored terrorism". Pakistan, likewise, in a befitting rejoinder to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's threat of 'water suspension' has made it clear that it is untenable, and would lead to an inevitable conflict. As per International Law and UN Charter, it is an act of war and Pakistan has every right to act in self defence.

The point is, why is India opting for a policy of coercion when it has formally agreed to a ceasefire under American mediation, and why is it so obstinate on playing the water card? It is so because Delhi has lost its political currency by waging an aggression against Pakistan on the baseless pretext of its involvement in the Pahalgam attack, and the civil society in India is now getting to realise the stunt of going to war. The option, thus, left with the defeated BJP is to malign Pakistan by projecting it as an outcast, and trying to destabilise it from inside.
