There was no need for us to response.
This was the time for us to come out and beat the drum that we are a mature sensible nation that cares about their soldiers and India has a war mongerer as its PM.
These politicans are playing with the lives of these soldiers, I wonder how many of them have their sons in the army.
War is not a joke. Calmer heads needs to prevail here. This was our chance to look like a mature country, win sympathy on our side, play the diplomatic card.
Our response should have been to expose India and in one swoop prove both these attacks were fake.
Does India really need to be reminded we have any Army? They already know.
As Imran Khan said, we can start a war and not end it.
I don't agree with your post and mostly I agree with you so it's kind of surprising.
Normally I am the first one to avoid mixing sports and politics, to avoid confrontational tactics, and to show the world that Pakistan is a peaceful country.
However, the Indian media has made damning and damaging claims which the world already believes in, whether they are true or not. They have claimed that their aircraft entered and successfully carried out strikes and got rid of Jaish. Now whether that's true or not, the world will see it as such.
Pakistan is already not much talked about besides terrorism in the world. Even the FM's of France and Australia and asked Pakistan to stop funding terrorism.
Had we kept quiet now and played the diplomatic game, we would have been as much assured of being guilty of harboring state sponsored terrorism and also being weak and following the general acceptance that we are indeed "building terrorists" in Pakistan.
War is not a joke. It is not to be started without consequences and I agree on everything.
But sometimes, you need to combat and battle, to assure the enemy that not everything is going to go your way if you try to play a political and point scoring game.
This war, shows the readiness of Pakistan army, shows that we can respond in equal measure, that we harbor no terrorists, there are nowhere to be found and that India cannot be the aggressor and police the world and enter sovereign nations whenever it wants.
I really hope Pakistan doesn't stop attacking until and unless India asks for war to stop. We have had enough of the peaceful dialogue and India can't be a bully anymore.
