The Pakistan government and media have had a subdued reaction to Rajnath Singh’s comments about entering Pakistan and killing terrorists. In this case, silence is strategic.
Sanjay Sharma shot at by suspected terrorists when he was on way to local market, & succumbed to his injuries soon after. Last year, 29 targeted attacks were recorded in Kashmir.
Security agencies had picked up phone chatter and other inputs suggesting that Hindus and non-Muslims staying in Kashmir could be targeted by terrorists.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
