After the Poonch terror attack, former Pakistani diplomat Abdul Basit fears that India will carry out another surgical strike on Pakistan. Counter-strike fear is looming in Pakistan after the Poonch terror attack and it has become the talk of the town.
In a recent video, Mr. Basit said, "Now people in Pakistan are talking about another surgical strike or air strike by India. I do not think that now they will do the same because they are holding SCO meet and G20 presidency this year. I don't see any misadventures from India till the time they hold presidencies. But next year during elections, India may do this again. This may happen just before the elections in India."
Abdul Basit also tried to justify the horrifying act in Poonch in which five army personnel lost their lives. He said, "Whoever has done it, be it Mujahedeen or whosoever, they have targeted the military, not civilians. They are engaged in a legitimate struggle. If you are conducting a movement, you are targeting the military but not civilians, international law allows it." The former Pakistani diplomat also stated, "India knows where we stand." This video came a few days after the Poonch terror attack.
