Electoral Gains

ISLAMABAD: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategy of accusing Pakistan of supporting terrorism in India to gain electoral support has once again come into focus, with recent incidents raising concerns of false flag operations aimed at diverting attention and achieving political goals.

On September 16, Indian media reported that “terrorists” killed several Indian Army officers and soldiers in an encounter in the Uri sector of Baramulla.

Just days earlier, on September 12, news of a similar alleged operation by Indian forces in Anantnag had surfaced.

Critics describe these incidents as deliberate attempts by India to divert the world’s attention from ongoing human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) by falsely accusing Pakistan of supporting terrorism.

Some suggest that the Modi government, in preparation for the upcoming Indian elections, has been willing to sacrifice both citizens and military officers.

Some allege that India may be seeking to repeat an incident like the Pulwama attack for its own political purposes, citing numerous reports and audio/video evidence from international media outlets suggesting Indian involvement in activities along the Line of Control that further political ambitions. It has been observed that Pulwama-like false flag operations is being staged by Modi for electoral gains.
