India Strikes Without Proof, Pakistan Responds with Dignity and Strength
Tensions between nuclear-armed neighbors escalated dangerously on May 7, 2025, when India launched an unprovoked and unjustified military attack on multiple locations inside Pakistan. Claiming to retaliate for a recent attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir—without presenting any concrete evidence—New Delhi’s latest strike is being seen in Islamabad as a blatant violation of sovereignty and a reckless move that threatens peace across South Asia.
Pakistan has condemned India’s actions as an “act of war” and responded proportionately, defending its borders while reiterating its long-standing commitment to regional peace and stability.
India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’: A Cowardly Assault on Pakistani Civilians
India's military operation, disturbingly dubbed “Operation Sindoor”—a term associated with Hindu marital tradition—targeted not just alleged militant hideouts but civilian areas deep inside Pakistan’s territory, including Bahawalpur, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad, and Kotli.
Despite Indian claims of “precision strikes,” Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported at least 26 civilian casualties, including women and children. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the strikes as a “cowardly attack on innocent civilians” and vowed that Pakistan “will respond in a befitting manner.”
False Flag Tactics? India Blames Pakistan Without Investigation
India’s military action followed a militant attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, where 26 people were killed. However, no international investigation has been carried out, and India offered no proof linking Pakistan to the assault.
This pattern reflects a long-standing tactic by Indian authorities—using baseless allegations against Pakistan to divert attention from domestic issues and justify aggressive military action in an election year or times of internal unrest.
Pakistan Shoots Down Five Indian Jets: A Measured Military Response
Pakistan’s armed forces, displaying restraint and professionalism, swiftly shot down five Indian fighter jets that violated Pakistani airspace, according to Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif. “We do not wish for war, but we will never tolerate aggression,” he stated during an interview with Bloomberg Television.
Meanwhile, India remained silent on Pakistan’s defensive actions, fueling suspicions that the Modi administration is deliberately hiding military losses to save face.
Civilian Lives Lost, International Law Violated
The Indian attack targeted populated areas, leading to destruction of homes and civilian infrastructure. Reports from the ground in Hyderabad, Sindh, show angry protests erupting as Pakistani citizens burn Indian flags in defiance.
Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Indian assault violated multiple international humanitarian laws, and called on the United Nations, OIC, and international human rights organizations to condemn India's aggression and prevent further escalation.
India Playing Dangerous Games: From Water Blockades to Border Provocations
India’s hostility toward Pakistan goes beyond military strikes. Earlier in the week, New Delhi effectively suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, cutting off water supplies through the Chenab River, vital for Pakistan’s agriculture. These moves are seen as economic warfare, designed to strangle Pakistan’s farming heartland.
At the same time, India has staged mock military drills across its border states, clearly signaling escalation rather than restraint.
Modi’s Political Gambit: Escalating Tensions to Distract the Public
Political analysts suggest Prime Minister Narendra Modi is using military escalation to rally nationalist sentiments at home amid growing criticism of his economic and social policies. This follows a historical pattern: Kargil in 1999, Balakot in 2019, and now Operation Sindoor in 2025.
Each of these episodes illustrates how the Indian leadership seeks military distraction over dialogue, choosing warfare over peace.
Pakistan Calls for De-escalation, Warns Against Repeated Aggression
Despite the provocation, Pakistan has once again called for calm and dialogue. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasized that Pakistan has no interest in war, but it will not remain silent in the face of aggression.
“India must stop dragging the region into chaos,” he said, warning that continued provocations could spiral into a catastrophic conflict with global implications.
World Reaction: Silence or Complicity?
While the United States and China have urged restraint, no concrete steps have been taken to hold India accountable. U.S. President Donald Trump simply called the situation “a shame” without condemning the loss of civilian life or India's airspace violations.
Pakistan has urged the international community to rise above double standards and ensure India is held accountable for its repeated violations of international norms.
Conclusion: Pakistan Stands Firm, Seeks Peace With Dignity
India’s actions on May 7 were not only reckless but deeply irresponsible for a nuclear-armed state. Yet, Pakistan has chosen a path of measured response, defensive strategy, and calls for international mediation.
Let the world not be misled by Indian propaganda. Pakistan does not seek war, but it will defend its honor, its people, and its sovereignty at all costs. The time has come for the global community to stand on the right side of history—against warmongering and in favor of peace and justice in South Asia.
