Pahalgam terrorist attack: The tension between India and Pakistan has been increasing after a recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, meanwhile the response given by former Pakistan National Security Advisor (NSA) Moeed Yusuf has become a topic of discussion. He clearly stated that the possibility of a major war between India and Pakistan is currently low, but the situation is very worrying and unstable. It is believed that the entire political establishment including Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is shocked by his statement.
Relationship deteriorated due to Pahalgam attack
India has directly held Pakistan responsible for the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. Although 11 days have passed since the attack, there is tension on the border. An atmosphere of military clashes has arisen and excessive bitterness is also being felt in both countries. Due to India’s response, Pakistan has denied its involvement in it and continued indirect threats of nuclear war, which has increased unrest throughout South Asia.
Experienced opinion of Moeed Yusuf
Moeed Yusuf was Pakistan’s National Security Advisor in the Imran Khan government. He has a special right over policy studies in South Asia and has also published several studies on crisis management in nuclear-scrips countries earlier. His book “Broking Peace in Nuclear Environment” has been given special recognition by global policy experts.
There will be ‘no war, but don’t make mistakes’ warning
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Joseph commented on the possibility of war, saying, “I don’t think there will be a major war between India and Pakistan at this time. However, a mistake generated by misunderstandings can give rise to war.” He further said that no military action will be taken by India immediately, but the situation may arise again, as sudden decisions have been taken in the past. Therefore, Pakistan should be ready for every situation.
America’s silence criticism of global inaction
Yusuf expressed his displeasure over the role of America in this entire case. He said that the biggest problem is that the two countries are dependent on the third country – especially the United States – to get out of this crisis. But the US has adopted a passive role this time and the strategy adopted by India is not effective this time, as this time the US has not come forward as a judicial or equilibrium mediator.
Pakistan’s political dilemma
Yusuf’s statement is considered a major setback for Pakistan’s political leadership. His clear warning is that not only India’s action, but also Pakistan needs to be conscious. This may increase international and domestic pressure on the Shahbaz Sharif government.
It is necessary to be careful.
Moeed Yusuf’s statement is not just a former official’s opinion, but a serious warning about a possible war -like atmosphere in South Asia. His message that “will not be war, but will remain in danger” reminds the leadership of both countries to act with more responsibilities. In this background, time is demanded that both India and Pakistan move on the path of restraint, talks and peace.
