The professor wrote these things in the post …
- Changes in India’s strategy: The professor’s post has written- Now India has made it clear that there will be no difference between Pakistan’s terrorist organizations (who are non-government but military active) and the Pakistani Army. If there is a terrorist attack, India’s response will be in the form of traditional military action. This has brought the responsibility of Pakistan’s army not to give protection to the terrorists, because now it cannot hide behind them.
- Comment on Pakistan’s dual policy: Written in the post- The Pakistani army has been using terrorists for a long time to destabilize India, while it has been showing itself suffering itself. The same terrorist organizations have also provoked communal violence in Pakistan.
- India did not allow the war to expand: The professor wrote- This military action has changed the old understanding of India-Pakistan relations. India took care in the military response not to harm ordinary citizens or military bases, so that the war does not expand. The message is clear that if Pakistan does not stop terrorism, India will take steps itself.
- Warning against war: In the post, some people are advocating war without thinking, while they never saw war. War harms the poor. It only benefit politicians and weapons companies. The history of politics has been associated with violence, but still no political problem has been resolved permanently through military methods.
- Criticism of political hypocrisy: He wrote- Many right-wing people are praising women military officer Colonel Sophia Qureshi, but the same people remain silent when hatred, mob lynching, and illegal demolition of houses against Muslims in the country. If they are really fair, then demand the safety of every Indian citizen, not only for showing.
- Concern on communalism: In the post, the professor wrote- When a Muslim leader called “Pakistan Murdabad”, Pakistanis trolled it, and the right-wing people of India started saying “He is our mullah”. This shows how deep the communal thinking has entered in India’s politics.
- Impact of press conference: The professor wrote- The 2 female officers who came out in the press conference were a glimpse of a India that challenges the argument of the creation of Pakistan. An India which is a symbol of unity in diversity, but the reality of Muslims on the ground does not match the picture of the government. Nevertheless, this press conference definitely gives a glimpse of a hope.
