In a shocking turn of events, India has launched an unprovoked attack on Pakistan, basing its actions on mere assumptions and unverified claims. The trigger: a speculative link between Pakistan-based groups and the Pahalgam incident. This reckless aggression, driven by the Hindutva ideology and the influence of extremist factions like the RSS, reflects a dangerous mindset entrenched in India’s highest offices. More troubling is that this leadership enjoys widespread public support, raising serious questions about the Indian electorate’s mindset.
Pakistan’s response has been measured and lawful. Despite deep-seated political divides, the Pakistani government initially sought dialogue, requesting evidence and offering cooperation to investigate the Pahalgam attack. India’s response? An armed offensive, violating Pakistan’s sovereignty. This is not just aggression—it’s a textbook example of an act of war.
According to international law, particularly Article 51 of the UN Charter, Pakistan has the inherent right to self-defense following an armed attack. While Western powers have long exploited this clause to justify dubious wars, Pakistan’s case is clear-cut and grounded in legitimate self-defense. The Nuremberg principles also affirm that the original aggressor bears full responsibility for all ensuing consequences, including any civilian casualties.

This conflict underscores a harsh reality: international justice often takes a backseat to brute force. While the UN and global courts should hold India accountable, history shows that power, not principle, often prevails. Pakistan’s retaliatory measures are legal, justified, and necessary to uphold its sovereignty.
Moreover, this moment offers Pakistan a rare, lawful opportunity to press its case over Kashmir—a decades-old dispute central to regional tensions. With both nations aware of the catastrophic potential of full-scale war, careful yet firm defense is essential. In this high-stakes game, Pakistan’s legal and moral stance remains its strongest asset.
