Lieutenant General, retired, Naeem Khalid Lodhi (Independent Defense Analyst):

India jingoism has arrived at its peak amid Palwama terror attack. Regional peace pivot s on the political solution of Kashmir dispute. India has failed to control the situation in Indian-administered Kashmir and wants to divert the attention of the world from Kashmir issue. India is envious of Pakistan improving reputation at international front and Pakistan’s growing economy. The youth of Kashmir is fighting for their legitimate right to self-determination. India must realize that any clash between two nuclear armed neighbors can result into massive catastrophe. Indian baseless accusations would further escalate tension in the region. Indian racist political leadership has alienated the Kashmiris youth due to its oppressive policies over the decades. Pakistan’s armed forces are capable enough to retaliate with full might to any misadventure from Indian side. International community has also started realizing that India should stop atrocities in Occupied Kashmir and resolve Kashmir issue through dialogue.
