The role of the Modi government in the Pahalgam incident is as suspicious as it is for its political interests in the Indian state elections, credible evidence of it has come to the world in the last ten days. However, the continuation of threats without presenting any evidence of accusations against Pakistan proves that the Pahalgam incident was a heartless drama created for political interests and that is why the Modi government is following the policy of maintaining tension despite the complete failure of efforts to involve Pakistan in it. The clashes on the borders have been going on for eight days and the fear of any major conflict is present at any moment. In order to harm the Pakistani economy, the Indian government has tried a new tactic by demanding the IMF to reconsider its ongoing cooperation for the improvement of the Pakistani economy. In the meantime, it is necessary for the government, army and people of Pakistan to be vigilant and keep warning the international community to thwart any Indian attempt to disrupt peace in the region.
Yesterday, a special conference of Corps Commanders was held in this regard, and on the other hand, the Prime Minister met with the ambassadors of friendly countries and made it clear that if India is not stopped from its hostility to peace, a conflict between the two nuclear-armed countries will have severe negative effects on the entire world, so they should use their influence to end the tension. Meanwhile, the special Corps Commanders Conference chaired by Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir reiterated the country's unwavering resolve to maintain its sovereignty and territorial integrity. According to the conference statement, the recent incident in Pahalgam is aimed at diverting Pakistan's attention from its ongoing efforts for western borders and economic recovery. In this context, India is seeking to usurp Pakistan's legal and fundamental water rights by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, which it will not be allowed to succeed in.
The US Vice President has also acknowledged in his statement that Pakistan is a responsible country and hopes that it will cooperate in the investigation, while he inexplicably urged India to give a response that does not create a wider regional conflict. In a situation where Pakistan, with its offer of participation, has itself demanded that a transparent and impartial investigation be conducted into the Pahalgam incident, the US Vice President's suggestion to India to respond before any investigation and inquiry is not at all reasonable and the only reason for this can be to provide a way to save India from complete embarrassment. It would be better if the US Vice President reconsiders his suggestion and advises India to refrain from unrest.
In this unpleasant situation created by India, the position of Pakistan's all-weather friend, the People's Republic of China, is absolutely fair and unequivocal, which was being expressed continuously at the government level. However, in an interview given to CNN yesterday, prominent Chinese expert on global affairs Victor Gao also made it clear to the Indian media without any hesitation that China's determination in the matter of defending Pakistan's sovereignty should not be misjudged, the friendship between Pakistan and China is as strong as evergreen and steel. In these circumstances, the only sensible course of action for the Modi government is to move beyond the petty political tactics of short-term political interests and make good-faith progress towards a peaceful resolution of differences with Pakistan, for which Pakistan is always ready, while the path of confrontation is certain to prove disastrous for all.
