India is using different tactics, including false flag operations, to malign Pakistan at the international level.
The false flag operation of Pulwama attack in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir on this day in 2019 is one such example. Over 40 Indian soldiers were killed when a vehicle laden with explosives had rammed into one of the buses that were part of a convoy of Indian Central Reserve Police Force in Pulwama district.
The February 2019 Pulwama attack was a “false flag operation” staged by BJP government. India blamed Pakistan for its links with the attack but failed to provide credible evidence of its alleged involvement in the incident.
From the leaked messages by BJP and RSS backed Indian journalist Arnab Goswami, it is now crystal clear that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi in collusion with Indian Army, intelligence agencies and right-wing media created a casus belli by orchestrating Pulwama incident to attack Pakistan. The biggest beneficiary of the Pulwama attack was BJP government, as it resulted in its landslide victory in Lok Sabha elections following their virulent anti-Pakistan electoral campaign.
The incident was condemned by leaders from all over the world including Pakistan Prime Minister. Pakistan offered all possible assistance to probe the incident. But Indian government hastily blamed Pakistan for the attack without proper investigation and took a dangerously belligerent path.
Indian political parties had also raised doubts over the attack. Indian Congress leader Udit Raj has claimed that “power-hungry” Narendra Modi had planned the Pulwama terror attack just weeks before the Indian parliamentary elections, which saw the latter consolidating his grip on the country. Lawmaker from India’s Wayanad district asked who benefitted the most from the attack and why no accountability was fixed over the security lapses that led to the attack.
Former Chief Minister of the Indian state of Gujarat, Shankersinh Vaghela, also implied that the Pulwama attack was a false-flag operation, questioning why the CRPF convoy was not airlifted from Jammu..—KMS
National Conference leader in IIOJK, Sheikh Mustafa Kamal revealed that both the 2016 Uri attack and 2019 Pul-wama attack were “orchestrated” by the Modi government. He called for the setting up of a commission to inquire into both the attacks.
Indian false flag operations like the Pulwama attack and consequent Balakot airstrike are part of India’s Hybrid warfare against Pakistan. India is trying to defame Pakistan through propaganda tactics and present Pakistan as the hub of terrorism.—KMS
