Admiral Arun Prakash (retired) has warned against falling into the traps set by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) amid escalating tensions following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives. The former Chief of Naval Staff, who was awarded the Vir Chakra during the 1971 war, emphasized that the ISI aims to deepen religious divides in India, particularly targeting Hindus and inciting violence against Kashmiri students. He criticized India's historical approach to cross-border terrorism, suggesting it should have been treated as an act of war from the outset. Admiral Prakash called for a clear national policy to deter such attacks and advocated for a comprehensive strategy, including potential sanctions against Pakistan, which is already facing economic challenges. Following the Pahalgam attack, India has initiated seven measures against Pakistan, notably suspending the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960.

The Indian Army reported multiple firing incidents from Pakistani posts and responded appropriately, with no casualties on either side. The recent ceasefire violations are seen as provocations following India's stringent measures in response to the Pahalgam massacre, for which the Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty and taken a hardline stance against terrorism, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowing to pursue those responsible. Diplomatic relations have soured further, with both nations withdrawing staff and halting visa services, while cross-border travel is unlikely to resume until tensions ease.

Following the attack, which involved multiple gunmen opening fire in Baisaran Valley, authorities have launched a manhunt for the perpetrators, offering a reward for information on two Pakistani nationals suspected of involvement.

India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and Pakistan has closed its airspace to Indian airlines, actions Asif described as politically motivated and lacking evidence. The Kashmir Resistance, a group linked to Pakistani terrorist organizations, has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Asif dismissed allegations that groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba are operational in Pakistan, asserting they are contained.

In a meeting led by Home Minister Amit Shah, officials discussed immediate and long-term strategies, including desilting existing dams to reduce water flow to Pakistan. The treaty, established in 1960 with World Bank mediation, allocates rights over eastern rivers to India and western rivers to Pakistan. While India seeks to advance hydroelectric projects despite Pakistani objections, it is also preparing a legal response to potential international pressure. Pakistan has reacted strongly, warning that any attempt to divert its water will be viewed as an "Act of War." The Indian government aims to minimize domestic inconvenience during this transition.

Published: Apr 26 2025, 1 ameznews.inMaharashtra minister Nitesh Rane sparked controversy on Friday by suggesting that Hindus should inquire about the religion of shopkeepers before making purchases, following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of at least 26 people, primarily tourists. Survivors reported that terrorists asked victims to identify their religion before executing them, prompting Rane to advocate for a reciprocal approach among Hindus. Speaking in Dapoli, he urged Hindu organizations to demand this practice, stating that if terrorists can ask for religious identity before committing violence, Hindus should do the same while shopping. He further suggested that if shopkeepers claim to be Hindu, they should be able to recite the Hanuman Chalisa, and those who cannot should not be patronized. Rane also referenced Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to illustrate his point about religious respect and loyalty.
