This needed to be done. 400 plump partridges in one nest was a bonus. Whatever Pakistan’s utility – transient for some, more enduring for others – no responsible state can support it openly in a global forum. The Chinese are probably expending too much diplomatic capital on Masood Azhar. Their reaction to the strikes has been mild. 2. Late for this term, but one way to deal with Pakistan’s sponsorship of terror in Valley is to start a serious dialogue with the Kashmiri people.
In my view, the air attacks put Pakistan in a dilemma. If Pakistan responds, it can develop into a war Pakistan can not afford. The moral hazard of such a misadventure would be solely on Pakistan. Considering an extremely strained and precarious economic scenario for Pakistan , this can be a sure recipe for bankruptcy. Pakistan can become another Venezuela. However, if Pakistan doesn’t respond, this can be construed as a tacit consent to India’s right to self-defence against terrorist groups located in Pakistan. India can very well use this as a precedent for future attacks. Obviously, this may not end Pak-sponsored terrorism. However, Pakistan will have to observe restraint so that it doesn’t cross red-lines. This certainly has mitigating effect. Well done IAF and well done Modi !
