As India continues to face international isolation, the Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has issued yet another irresponsible and empty threat against Pakistan as social media users point that India did not learn its lesson.
Following the Pahalgam incident in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Indian government instantly blamed Pakistan without providing any evidence.
Indian media and polity stoked the flames of war while Pakistan earnestly offered to constitute an international investigative team for the Pahalgam incident.
Pakistan showed restraint and calm while Indian users online called for direct attacks against Pakistan. Pakistan shot down at least 6 Indian fighter jets after they attacked Pakistan on the night of May 6-7.
After Pakistan launched its retaliatory operation Bunyanum Marsoos on May 10, India agreed to a ceasefire with Pakistan brokered by US President Donald Trump.
Since then, Pakistan has successfully rallied its allies and major world powers to stand behind it while India remained stuck in its jingoistic echo-chamber, resorting to mass disinformation campaigns.
After getting its best fighter jets shot down for attacking civilians in Pakistan, Jaishankar has again issued a dangerous statement warning that India might again attack Pakistan if a terrorist attack occurs in India.
It merits a mention that the Indian authorities, to this day, have failed to apprehend the militants responsible for the Pahalgam incident on April 22.
“If they are deep in Pakistan, we will go deep into Pakistan,” Jaishankar said in an interview with POLITICO during his official visit to Brussels for high-level trade talks with the European Union.
Pakistan’s former state minister for foreign affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar, rejected the statement by Jaishankar, saying, “As Pakistan continues to celebrate ceasefire and seek lasting peace that can allow South Asia to breathe & prosper. India decides to learn no lesson from its recent illegal aggression, bursting of its conventional supremacy myth, downing of its jets and its credibility.”
