The nation witnessed a miracle called Marka-e-Haq. It is the miracle of a fortified Pakistan unexpectedly, strategically raised, unified at the national level and repositioned worldwide.
In four days in May, Pakistan exceeded and outperformed an enemy an order of larger size in the economy, population and conventional weapons. In doing so, Pakistan has sent a superpower lacking back in the ranks of the intermediate powers and broke out from the strait of terrorism that the world put it for most of the 21st century.
“Pakistan has long stood at the end of international skepticism”, write Murtaza Solangi and Ahmed Al-Arabi in a new book.
“How many soldiers we buried or the number of children we mourn do not make any difference. No matter the frequency to which we will warn against Indian adventurism or submit the files to the United Nations, we are most often deemed guilty before being able to prove our innocence”.
Pakistan’s victory was a demonstration of national power not expressed so far. The triumph is all the more amazing because it has entered an disillusionment environment with the Pakistani state and an open invective towards the armed forces of Pakistan, in particular by a political party which raised the specter of the rupture of the country in 1971 and attacked all the establishments of the State and their leaders.
However, when it counted, the civil and military leaders of Pakistan met – in particular Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Marshal of Coas Field Asim Munnir – and the three armed forces gathered in unprecedented integration on the battlefield. This victorious harmony confirmed the strategic relationship of Pakistan with China and amazed the world.
Here is the ash of Hindutva pride. On the top, the charred remains of Indian air defense. Under the cents of Indian ambitions to: Permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council, regional hegemony, China’s counter-tinking, the “Net security supplier” in Indo-Pacific, deepening from Pakistan, and using the Israeli gaming book to coerce the Kashmiris in Iiojk.
If the punitive prices imposed and the equally punitive rhetoric on India by the Trump administration are a guide, the United States has discovered ashes.
A long range of diplomatic debacles followed the military defeat of Hindutva. In direct contradiction with the protests of PM Modi, President Trump has, to date, took the credit of three dozen times for the ceasefire in the Indo-Pak war. The American president added the insult to the injury using “mediat”, “cashmere” and rehypenerant India and Pakistan – all the notions hostial with the swollen self -image of India of South Asian transcendent. The post-war diplomatic mission of India has failed, as is its efforts to continue and harm the interests of Pakistan in the FATF, the IMF, the World Bank, the SCOs and the BRICS.
The contours of this rare and positive strategic moment for Pakistan appeared as the consequence of the PM delegation sent in June to the UN, Washington, the United Kingdom and the European Union. The delegation forces were triple.
The first was the victory itself, but the second was that we did not look for any military assistance or budgetary support from our hosts. The third was, and Pakistan is looking for peace while India apparently embarked on a perpetual war.
What we have seen, heard and felt: Afghanistan fades from public memory in Washington; The same goes for antagonism attached against Pakistan. Consequently, Capitol Hill was surprisingly positive and receptive to our concerns. Pakistan’s criticism was silent. A clear fracture is visible between the American establishment, which is always pro-Indian, and the White House, which is considerably less. Pakistan also benefits from the retirement of United Nations.
Islamic countries are rediscovering the forces of Pakistan. There is generalized empathy with Pakistan at the UN and the EU on the Industry Water Treaty. The EU likes to recover the order based on rules. There is international respect and curiosity concerning the cooperation of the defense of Pak-China. Finally and above all, President Trump’s repeated praise for Pakistani leadership and the organization of lunch for Marshal on the ground brought enormous positivity to Pakistan in Washington.
However, the question is vital: how long will this positivity last? Months, weeks? The more reason for Pakistan to boldly venture into the international arena. The presidency of Pakistan by one month of the CSNU concluded. Pakistan must pursue vigorous conversations around the world for the restoration of TFP, respect for international treaties and nuclear restraint. The UN is unfortunately paralyzed by its inability to stop the genocide in Gaza. Pakistan must enter other arenas to continue its interests.
A clear message to India must be released, as stated by Emile Simpson: “If you want stability in the world, you must have clear strategic limits that seek to compartmentalize conflicts, and not aggregate them. If you do not box in your conflicts with clear, chronological, conceptual, geographic and legal strategic limits, then you feel a proliferation of violence, chronological violence, chronological violence, Conceptual, geographic and legal, then you feel a proliferation of violence, “.
Thus, the first task in front of Pakistan is to prepare for the next war by filling the gaps in our defense. The recent increase in the Defense Budget is welcome, but the strengthening of our defenses will also require an unhindered analysis of the Dent-Queue ratio, followed by a ruthless optimization of resources.
A diplomatic campaign must start by allocating resources to become the greatest defender of low -ripping water rights in the world. It is time to aggressively defend a successor from Saarc with China as a member and without India. The PM should continue the intermediate level diplomatic initiative by sending smaller delegations to converse regularly with the European Commission and the EU parliament.
A awareness of the countries of North America, Europe, the Brics and the Quad is justified. Take neither friends nor enemies as permanent and in charge of Pakistan’s new salience to contact friends, especially in the Gulf. Start a dialogue with environmental and water organizations around the world.
Let’s not forget the law. Based on the opinion of the Hague Court, Pakistan must obtain an opinion on India, the fact of the TI “pending” from a panel of eminent international lawyers and to send lawyers capable to attend certain conferences of international law to create a positive climate of opinion on ICTI. An international and multi-platform information campaign is crucial and immediately needed to qualify India as a revisionist and reckless power determined to break international law on cashmere, the CDI and nuclear reservoir.
The danger is clear and present. We have a ceasefire; We do not have peace. The embers of Hindutva anti-muslim and anti-Pakistani hatred continue to shine. The PM Modi and its ministers continue to bait Pakistan with “eating bread, otherwise my ball is there”; Repeat that the ceasefire is a “break” and that there was no question of returning to the IWT.
Hindutva cannot bear shame and attacks anger.
After the monsoon withdrew in a few weeks, PM Modi will have the first opportunity to stop the waters of the Rivers Chenab and Jhelum, which in turn triggers the policy of the National Committee of Pakistan: “Any attempt to stop or diversify water belonging to Pakistan according to the treated inductive waters, and the complex of the relevance of the specter of the meat reduction will be considered as a war and full strength through the national power scen “.
It is rare for nations to obtain an opportunity for strategic reset. After a quarter of a century of internal conflicts and international suspicions, Maarka-e-Haq provided Pakistan with a precious circumstance.
Wrote Shakespeare in “Julius Caesar”: “There is a tide in the affairs of men / which, taken from flooding, leads to fortune; / On such a full sea, we are now afloat; / And we must take the current when it serves, / or lose our businesses”.
It is time for the State to draw good – domestic and global lessons – war and not to be prey to pride or complacency. We must enter this strategic moment.
