India wants to deescalate ? Just watched Indian Govt/Army Briefing with Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. He denied all Pakistani claims of damage to air bases, power infrastructure etc. Pakistani claims may have been exaggerated; but the problem with the Indian briefing was that in 2025 they showed 1950 style photos of their bases & air strips to claim that all is well. Then getting a bit guilty conscious Vyomika Singh added, that these photos are “Time Stamped” - but who is going to check that these are time stamped?
When briefing after briefing ends without taking any questions. I also watched PAF/ISPR Briefing a day earlier; it was a class apart! And its professionalism was noted across the world.
Vikram Misri, like every good Indian, asserted that India is a democracy; but what kind of democracy is this that has just ordered Twitter to block 8,000 accounts including those of International Media & prominent opinion makers from all over the world? Blocked “Force Magazine” and The Wire and apparently even BBC Urdu? Not to forget dozens and dozens of Pakistani Channels. There is something seriously wrong with this “BJP shaped India” leading to regression of minds! India was never that insecure of its position! Why block all criticism when you are not afraid?
Most Indians don’t realize that this totally unnecessary war is making them look bad and irrational!
Ms. Singh, & Mr. Misri kept repeating that Pakistani attacks are causing civilian casualties; but who do they think are dying or maimed at the other end? How many of the 33 men, women & children Indian missile strikes killed & 53 injured (on 7th May) were combatants? How many dying on the other side of LOC are soldiers?
Ms. Singh, again reiterated that Indian Army will deescalate if Pakistan army does so. But the word “deescalate” is continuously being used since the missile attacks before every new act of escalation. After attacking 24 sites, in 9 cities across Pakistan & AJK, on 7th May, there was no Casus Belli left for India. But soon we found Pakistani cities swarming with Indian drones - which were actually used to detect gaps in Pakistan’s Air/Ground Defense, and thus represented a preparation for the next attack on Air Bases. Now in this latest briefing, Ms. Singh mentions that Pakistani forces are moving to forward positions; I don’t know if they are - but it sounds like India now preparing ground to move war to the next level while continuously using the word “deescalate”
I hope I am wrong! But I smell a script, that is unfolding step by step towards a long protracted war! Late Riaz Khokar, Ex-Foreign Secretary, had warned me in 2019, that 2025 will be the year of war - I thought he was a cynic! But may be he was right!
