Pakistan’s response

February 21, 2019 12:05 am | Updated 12:05 am IST

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan may have broken his silence after the Pulwama attack, and he has only shocked us (Page 1, “Pakistan will hit back if India strikes, says Imran”, February 20). He has just repeated the usual statement one gets out of Pakistan, which is nothing but an evasive tactic. What more proof does he require? It is amusing that the Pakistan government, which is unable to control terror activities on its soil, is now talking about retaliation.

The Pakistan Prime Minister should realise that he sounds silly and ridiculous. The world knows he is a puppet in the hands of his military masters. He has the audacity to say this when Pakistan is the ‘poster boy’ of terrorism. Mr. Khan is not only a neophyte in politics but also equally untrustworthy.

Mr. Khan’s response is hardly surprising. With Pakistan already bleeding financially, India’s pressure could weaken it further. India appears to be adopting a clever strategy of not letting anyone know what its next move could be. Wearing down the enemy silently is a tactic with potential.
