Pakistan in panic mode, fears retaliation for Pulwama

It seems that in the aftermath of the dastardly Pulwama terror attack, Pakistan has gone into panic mode fearing that India might retaliate in a heavy and unprecedented manner. Pakistani citizenry, media and military establishment seem to be in a sense of panic. It looks as if they are anticipating a major assault by India to avenge repeated terror attacks carried out by Pakistan in India.

Pakistani twitter handles are suggesting that the Pakistani citizenry has almost assumed that a war is around the corner, or worse, it has already started. One of such tweets read, “guyssss i think the war has started, i’m not fkn joking, i heard two heavy explosions which shook even our doorss and there was f16 flying in the sky, i could hear but couldn’t see bcoz of clouds.” The same user tweeted again and said, “To people who might think it was my own thought, Dad just came home and told that the shopkeepers in the whole bazaar came out of shops because the explosions shook their shops badly @OfficialDGISPR please clarify asap.”

What the Pakistani citizens assumed to be explosions was actual a sonic boom even as two PAF aircrafts broke the sound barrier. It caused a loud bang on the ground and Pakistanis panicked as they felt the war has started. The Pakistan military establishment is definitely in a state of fear and panic and due to its unusual activities; even the Pakistani citizenry has started feeling that fear.

The state of fear that Pakistan is in is further evidenced by a Pakistani media report suggesting that PAF and IAF aircrafts might have come face to face. What is particularly hilarious is the fact that there are unconfirmed reports that Pakistani troops might have ended up firing upon their own chopper in wake of the sonic boom incident yesterday. Pakistani military establishment is in a state of fear and its forces are acting in the most immature manner. Its incoherent actions following even the fear of a war is enough to suggest the kind of irreparable damage that India can inflict on Pakistan by actually taking firm retaliatory action against it.

According to lawyer Divya Kumar Soti, reports suggest that yesterday, Pakistani troops fired at their own chopper. 

This was also suggested by others on Twitter.

It is also important to mention here that orders have been passed in the Pakistan occupied Kashmir not to travel in large groups and to stay away from the Line of Control. Pakistan seems to have lost its nerve and the entire terror state is full of fear apprehending a fierce retaliatory response by India. Meanwhile in India, Ministry of Defence officials are wondering why Pakistan is in such a jittery state.

Pakistan’s state of confusion, chaos and anarchy is more than sufficient to make it amply clear that Pakistan is incapable of tolerating even the apprehensions of a strong Indian response. One cannot even imagine the wrath of Pakistan in a situation where in India actually starts talking military measures.
