It seems that there isn’t any let up in the bellicose attitude of Modi because he didn’t give much importance to the offer of mediation between India and Pakistan made by Moscow and Riyadh. He is mistaken if he thinks he can cow down Islamabad with his sabre-rattling and arrogance. Odds are that he might raise the bar of his belligerency till the Election Day which means that the sub-continent would remain in a state of turmoil for another two months or so. India would also continue to keep its powder dry on the control line during this period.
Initial reports reveal that the so-called dossier submitted by New Delhi to Pakistan on the recent killings in occupied valley of Kashmir was based on hearsay having no evidentiary value, whatever. The foreign office, nonetheless, had better thoroughly examine it and after its in-depth analysis furnish a befitting reply to India and endorse a copy of it to the UN as well in order to nail the Indian lie. Meanwhile, our armed forces would have to remain in a state of readiness also as Modi’s intransigence provides proof, if any proof is needed, that he hasn’t learnt a lesson from the recent abortive attack of the IAF on Pakistan in which it lost a plane.
It goes without saying that Pakistan ought to launch a diplomatic offensive at international level on the Kashmir issue by spotlighting it in the world media as well by sending special envoys, including politicians belonging to different shades of opinion to the world capitals for meeting the foreign ministers of these countries for highlighting the Indian atrocities in Kashmir.
