Who benefits from the Pahalgam attack?

Chattisinghpora, Pathribal, and Barakpora massacres


Every form of terrorism is detestable, but the way the blame is being placed on Pakistan once again, without any investigation or investigation, as usual, and the Indian media has taken the stand against Pakistan, this irresponsible behavior raises the question of whether this was not an external game?

On the one hand, the US Vice President is in India, on the other hand, the Indian Prime Minister is on a visit to Saudi Arabia. After cutting short his visit to Saudi Arabia, Narendra Modi returns to India. This is a scenario like a Hollywood blockbuster movie where the elements of taking the intensity of the reaction to an incident to the extreme have been painstakingly fulfilled.

Now, a slightly harsher reaction from the US than usual is also natural and returning from a visit to Saudi Arabia like this is not an uncommon thing. It is as if the plot is complete here, like a Hollywood movie or a Shakespearean tragedy, and the climax is also magnificent. The question is, is it coincidence or ‘well-planned’?

In the past, when Clinton visited India, about 35 Sikhs were killed and now, when the US Vice President is visiting India, the growing tourism potential of Kashmir has been destroyed. The similarities between the two incidents are also noteworthy.

India’s general relations with both Sikhs and Kashmiris have been tense and the reasons for this are well known. What a coincidence that in an incident that makes India ‘oppressed’ in the international community, the real losers are those who are the unwelcome classes of India.

Pakistan ready for impartial investigation into Pahalgam attack : Shahbaz Sharif

Shehbaz Sharif said on Saturday that ‘Pakistan is ready to participate in any impartial, transparent and credible investigation.’

Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Saturday that he is ready for an ‘impartial’ investigation into the deaths of 26 people in Indian-administered Kashmir, which New Delhi blames on Islamabad.

Speaking at the passing out parade of cadets at the Pakistan Military Academy Kakul in Abbottabad city on Saturday, Shahbaz Sharif said that ‘Pakistan is ready to participate in any impartial, transparent and credible investigation.’

He said that there will be no compromise on Pakistan’s security and survival. If Pakistan’s water is stopped, it will respond with full force.

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that water is Pakistan’s vital national interest and the lifeline of 240 million people. There should be absolutely no doubt that water availability will be protected at all costs and in all circumstances.

He said that therefore, any attempt to stop, reduce or divert water, which is the property of Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty, will be responded to with full force. Let there be no misunderstanding or dilemma.

He said that ‘Pakistan is a frontline state against terrorism. India made baseless and unsubstantiated allegations after the Pahalgam incident, however, we, being a responsible state, are ready for an impartial international investigation.’

The Prime Minister further said that Pakistan’s brave armed forces are capable of defending the country’s sovereignty and territorial security and are fully prepared to do so.

He said that Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan. It is a disputed territory at the international level. The Kashmiri people will have to be given the right to self-determination.

Shahbaz Sharif has said that ‘Pakistan has always rejected and condemned terrorism in all its forms. Pakistan is the country most affected by terrorism in the world. 90,000 of our citizens have lost their lives in terrorism. Pakistan’s economy has suffered billions of dollars in losses.’

He has said that Pakistan, as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, wants peace and security around the world and will continue its efforts for this.

Talking about the alleged ‘false flag operation’ of Pahalgam and the Kashmir issue, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan and an internationally recognized disputed territory. The Kashmiri people will have to be given the right to self-determination.

Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that ‘Pakistan has always condemned all forms of terrorism. Pakistan has suffered heavy losses in terms of life and property in the war against terrorism. No one has sacrificed more than Pakistan to eradicate the scourge of terrorism.’

He said that ‘our neighboring country has leveled accusations against Pakistan without any evidence. A series of baseless allegations have been made on the Pahalgam attack. Pakistan is ready to cooperate in an impartial investigation into the Pahalgam incident.’

On India’s ‘water aggression’, he said that water is our lifeline and there can be no compromise on it. Pakistan will protect its security and sovereignty at all costs. If any aggression is committed, it will give a befitting reply like in February 2019. It will respond with national strength to every attempt to stop Pakistan’s water.

Pahalgam attack-Who will take the first step in an attack ?

Srinagar : Pakistan and India had a nuclear agreement in 1988 in which both countries agreed not to attack each other's nuclear installations. In 1991, the agreement was amended and both countries also revealed the locations of their nuclear installations to each other.

Since then, the two countries have been regularly exchanging information on their nuclear locations. India's nuclear doctrine is clearly based on not taking the first step, but if it is attacked with chemical or biological weapons, then it can use nuclear weapons.

After India's termination of the Indus Waters Treaty, Pakistan has warned that after this, the remaining bilateral agreements, including the agreement not to attack nuclear installations, have no validity.

Kashmir’s Hidden Treasure: Medicinal Plants and Herbal Tourism
Herbal tourism in Kashmir
Herbal tourism, a growing niche in the tourism industry, focuses on travel experiences centered around the use of herbal medicine and natural remedies, often for health and wellness purposes. This type of tourism can involve visiting herbal gardens, learning about traditional healing practices, and experiencing local herbal products and therapies. 


__________________________________..................._____________________________________
On the other hand, Pakistan has not formulated any policy regarding the use of nuclear weapons, which leaves it with the option of using nuclear weapons even if India comes within its borders and harms its troops or its economy.

Observers say that Pakistan also has nuclear weapons with limited damage. That is, if Indian forces enter its borders in thousands, it has weapons that can wipe out the opposing forces in a matter of moments.

This is the dangerous scenario due to which there are possibilities of nuclear war between the two countries. In 2022, India accidentally fired a Brahmos missile towards Pakistan. Any such coincidence can set off nuclear missiles.

Who has the key to peace?
If we keep in mind the conflict of the recent past of 2019, one thing becomes clear that after the Pakistan Air Force shot down an Indian plane in retaliation the day after the Balakot attack, the two countries had reached the brink of war and the drums of war were about to sound at any time, however, at that time this war was averted due to pressure from the United States and Western countries.

Even then, Donald Trump was the president in America and he is the same president today. But this time he has made a statement that is very vague, that is, that both countries will find a way out on their own.

After the horrific attacks of  Israel on Gaza and the Russian attacks on Ukraine, the peacekeeping forces are already suffering from distrust, due to which the world is not so interested in the recent tension between the two countries.

There is also an idea that India wants to repeat the dangerous behavior that Israel has shown in Gaza as an example in Kashmir. It has even started demolishing the houses of Kashmiris using the Pahalgam attack as an excuse, and thousands of Kashmiris have been arrested.

Even if there is no full-scale war between the two countries, very bad days have begun for the Kashmiris because India believes that the world will become a spectator in Kashmir just as it was in Gaza.

But this will be a difficult situation for Pakistan, can it leave the Kashmiris alone?
Whenever Pakistan jumps into this war, the risk of nuclear war will increase. It seems that the key to regional peace has fallen in Dal Lake, which both countries and the world have failed to find.

On the other hand, Pakistan has not formulated any policy regarding the use of nuclear weapons, due to which it has an open option, even if India comes within its borders and harms its troops or its economy, it can still use nuclear weapons.

More updates: India is a strategic partner, Pakistan is also a partner, both should reduce tensions: Russia
Dmitry Peskov added that "India is our strategic partner. Pakistan is also our partner. We value relations with Islamabad and Delhi."

Youth’s body found in Kulgam, Mehbooba calls for probe into allegations of ‘foul play’

Srinagar, May 04: Residents of a village in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir recovered the body of a youth on Sunday amid allegations that the deceased was picked by security forces for questioning in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said there were serious allegations of foul play in the death of Imtiyaz Ahmad Magray whose body was fished out from the Adbal stream in the Aharbal area of Kulgam district this morning.

Police have taken cognisance of the incident and started an investigation to ascertain the cause of death.

In a post on X, Mehbooba said, “Yet another body has been recovered from a river in Kulgam raising serious allegations of foul play. Local residents allege that Imtiyaz Magray was picked up by the army two days ago and now mysteriously his body has surfaced in the river.”

The former chief minister said the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam appears to be a calculated attempt to derail the fragile peace, disrupt tourism in Kashmir and undermine communal harmony across the country.

“If a single act of violence can shake the entire system, triggering arbitrary arrests, home demolitions, and the targeting of innocent civilians then the perpetrators have already achieved their objective,” she said.

Mehbooba called for an impartial investigation into the death.

“Allegations of misconduct whether in Bandipora encounter or in this latest incident in Kulgam are deeply troubling and warrant a thorough impartial investigation,” she added.
