Why are China and Pakistan silent over India’s aggression on Occupied Kashmir?
Could the Russia war, unrest in the US and China, and a bankrupt Pakistan trigger a war in POK? What awaits this winter or thereafter?
What lies beyond the winter?
Earlier this week, the Northern Army Commander Lieutenant General Upendra Dwivedi said that the army is prepared to take back Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) and is waiting for government orders, as reported by various news media.
Surprisingly, there has been no word by either Pakistan or China on this. Though the Indian Army has not commented on Aksai Chin (the part of Ladakh annexed by China), China has various projects going through POK and has reasons to worry about Aksai Chin too.
Several other developments have raised an alarm. China is reportedly on the verge of a political implosion. Rising curbs on COVID and revolts against layoffs are sure signs that the toppling of the communist government has begun – communist governments are founded on prosperity vs freedom, and once prosperity nosedives, as is happening in China, the people see no reason to remain slaves.
There are also reports that Dawood Ibrahim, India’s most wanted criminal hiding in Pakistan, has been tasked to assassinate India’s PM Modi. Such reports point to dire straits for those who wish instability in India, as in 2004 and 2008. Failed bomb blasts in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, point to something sinister too.
Tibetans have also started voicing their rights against China in recent weeks. And India has continuedly scaled up military infrastructure along the borders.
In Pakistan, instability after Imran Khan’s ouster and change in top Army position have rendered the country rudderless amid grave economic turmoil. A nuclear sabre-rattling country being quiet on India’s aggressive stance is a reason to worry – just like a mad man with a gun going quiet before the offensive.
It was Amit Shah’s promise in the parliament a few months ago to rejoin POK with India that changed the dynamic of the region. Today, especially after the Army’s statement, people in POK have started asking questions about their fate if POK returns to India.
At present, these are only questions. But these are too important to ignore.
