In addition to issuing a high alert around the Line of Control (LoC), senior officials of Pakistan’s military and intelligence agencies are reportedly holding continuous meetings.

On the other hand, there is anger in India in the wake of the Pahalgam attack. Team India’s head coach and former BJP MP Gautam Gambhir expressed his condolences on this incident.

Senior Pakistani army officials have reportedly given immediate instructions to evacuate all terrorist training camps near the LoC. Late last night, it is learnt, orders were issued to move the terrorists to nearby villages. Pakistan has resorted to these measures due to the possibility of India retaliation, ie. taking steps like surgical strikes or air strikes. It is being said in Pakistani circles that India’s past history shows that it does not delay in responding to terrorist attacks.

India has responded to Pakistan befittingly after similar incidents in the past. For example, after the Uri attack in 2016. After the Pulwama attack in 2019, India carried out surgical strikes as well as air strikes targeting terrorist camps in PoK. These actions not only caused huge losses to terrorist organizations, but also sent a clear message to Pakistan that India is taking a tough stance against terrorism.

Also, intelligence agencies have been keeping a watch on terrorist activities in PoK. The public’s anger is also evident on social media. Netizens are also demanding a surgical strike on social media platforms. Although the government has not yet officially announced any military action, there is an opinion in many quarters that India is working on a retaliatory strategy. (Maxim News)
