India’s Strategic Silence: Why Pakistan Is in a Panic Mode Today, we’re diving into a tense and critical topic concerning India and Pakistan.
In recent developments, while Pakistan publicly urges the United Nations to intervene against a perceived threat from India, their internal political discourse tells a different, far more provocative story. A viral article from Pakistan’s Parliament shows Senator Palwasha Khan making highly inflammatory statements. She boldly declared that Pakistan’s army would lay the first stone for a new Babri Mosque and its Army Chief Asim Munir would give the first call to prayer from it—an openly provocative act aimed at India.
These remarks come at a time when Pakistan is repeatedly violating the Line of Control ceasefire—seven times, to be precise—and has even targeted areas near the international border around Jammu. This shows a pattern of escalating aggression from across the border. Despite Pakistan’s claims about peace and dialogue, their actions and statements point toward a highly unstable and confrontational posture.
A Nation on High Alert
Pakistan has reportedly placed its military forces on high alert along the Indian border, fearing retaliatory action. Pakistani media and ministers are constantly broadcasting imminent fear of an Indian strike, but India, so far, has remained strategically silent. According to reports, this silence is deliberate. India is allowing Pakistan to exhaust its narrative and lose credibility in the eyes of the international community—a classic “cry wolf” situation.
The objective? Let the world stop paying attention to Pakistan’s repetitive complaints. Once that happens, India may choose to respond at a time and place of its choosing—a kinetic response, planned and executed with precision.
Parliamentary Provocation and Terror Links
The controversial remarks by Palwasha Khan in Parliament are especially alarming because they aren’t street-level rhetoric; they are statements made in the highest legislative body of Pakistan. She also extended support to Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a radical separatist figure based in the U.S., who has been openly threatening Indian security and unity. Her praise for Pannun exposes the clear and direct links between Pakistan’s political machinery and separatist activities.
Such open endorsement of anti-India figures adds to the already volatile narrative being pushed from within Pakistan. The repeated invocation of aggressive, war-like rhetoric—such as “blood will flow in the rivers if water doesn’t”—adds further tension to an already fragile peace.
India’s Calculated Patience
India’s leadership has adopted a prudent approach. The Prime Minister has reportedly given full operational freedom to the armed forces—when, where, and how to respond is left entirely to military discretion. The goal is clear: to keep Pakistan uncertain, on edge, and constantly burning resources while India watches and waits.
Former Indian Army officers like Lt. Gen. H.S. Panag have voiced support for this strategy, suggesting that keeping Pakistan “on tender hooks” is not just sensible, but strategically brilliant. By forcing Pakistan into a continuous state of alert, the country’s military and economic systems are being stretched thin.
The “Cry Wolf” Strategy and What Comes Next
Drawing parallels with the old fable of the boy who cried wolf, India is allowing Pakistan to exhaust its own credibility. Every time Islamabad cries foul or predicts an imminent attack, the international community grows more indifferent. And when the real response comes—it will be swift, heavy, and decisive.
Former J&K Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah has already warned that both nations appear to be inching toward war. Additionally, India has closed its airspace to Pakistani aircraft, forcing their commercial routes to divert and incur extra costs—an economic pressure tactic.
Final Thoughts
Pakistan today appears erratic, unstable, and politically fragmented. Contradictory statements from its army, ministers, and parliamentarians paint a picture of a nation unsure of its direction. Meanwhile, India continues its policy of strategic restraint, planning for a moment that could reshape the region’s balance.
In such times, it’s important for every Indian to stand united, support the armed forces, and avoid spreading misinformation. Always rely on verified news sources, and be wary of fake narratives meant to divide or distract.
