Asides of the fact that there is no fail safe mechanism for ensuring terror attacks don’t cross the threshold, it is also quite likely that Pakistan would pull out all stops to provoke India to go up the escalation spiral, which Pakistan hopes will bring the rest of the world rushing to the region. What remains to be seen is whether or not Pakistan calibrates the dirty war to try and keep it from crossing the threshold of an inevitable retaliation from India like after the Uri or Pulwama attacks. More importantly, the dirty war will not remain limited to only the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir but will extend into rest of India as well, something alluded to by Taliban Khan and other Pakistani officials when they referred to Indian Muslims rising up against the Indian state. India will really need to up its game and think out of the box to pre-empt, prevent and punish the terrorists. The Pakistanis, because of their links and involvement with terrorist groups which have been actively engaged in other global jihadist wars, will certainly use the tactics of terrorism deployed elsewhere. One example of this was the recent weapon drops in Punjab using drones. Although the Indian security establishment anticipates this, it needs to be prepared for new, innovative, even audacious, tactics from the enemy. The kinetic level will be mostly sub-conventional – using jihadist terrorists and all other tactics of dirty warfare to bleed India. It will be fought at both the non-kinetic and the kinetic level. Ignoring it as the rantings of a deranged mind would be a mistake, nay a blunder.Īlthough India has been in a state of undeclared war with Pakistan for the last thirty years, now it is a declared war. But the mental meltdown of Taliban Khan who justified Jihad against India, needs to be seen in India as a virtual declaration of war. While Imran certainly makes for a very poor advertisement of Oxford University, his attitude is but a reflection of the culture of his manufactured ‘nation’ and the poor upbringing of even the elite in what is now seen as ‘Terroristan’. Only, this time, even the pretence of diplomacy and decency was absent. Back then the Pakistanis also spread the most lurid, if also ludicrous, stories about J&K in the hope of inviting some sort of external intervention. These threats were pretty de rigueur in the 1990s. The litany of lies and the thinly disguised threats of a nuclear holocaust are again old hat. Otherwise, virtually everything he said was a compendium of his unhinged rants since August 5 when India announced the end of the anachronistic constitutional sops given to Jammu and Kashmir seven decades ago. Full of bloopers, bamboozle, belligerence, and blackmail, the only thing new in the speech of the erstwhile ‘flannelled fool’ – the flannels are off, but the fool remains – was the stage, not the state of mind of an unabashed Islamofascist who is deeply influenced by the mumbo-jumbo whispered in his bird-brain by his wife, ‘Pinky Peerni’, and the instructions dictated to him by his handlers in the GHQ, Rawalpindi. If ever any evidence was required on the appropriateness of the monikers ‘Im the Dim’ and ‘Taliban Khan’ attached to Pakistan’s ‘selected’ Prime Minister Imran Khan, his speech at the UN General Assembly should do the trick.
