Transcript

00:00Pakistan is feeling threatened and is making preparations.

00:04It doesn't know what India will do.

00:07So from a certain viewpoint, it is good for India.

00:10Let Pakistan be on tenterhooks.

00:13They do not know and cannot anticipate from which direction any action from India could come.

00:20The longer Pakistan stays in this state of uncertainty,

00:23the more it degrades its own preparations, the more money it has to spend.

00:29The more resources it has to allocate for being better prepared,

00:33the more it takes away the money from its own economic purposes,

00:38the more the people of Pakistan get angry at the army.

00:42Pakistan is making these threats about nuclear weapon usage.

00:48What it is trying to do is convey to the Western world that,

00:53look here, I am threatened so much by India, I have no other option.

00:57I will have to use my nuclear bomb.

00:59Pakistan is trying to create opinion and propaganda in the world

01:03so that world leaders create a pressure on India to lower the tension.

01:09Under the cover of fire, they can push across extremists from their sides into India.

01:16That's a strategy they've done often.

01:18You know, they start firing over the border, distract our forces.

01:21In the commotion from some other portion, you know, extremist jihadists enter India.

01:27What Pakistan's ministers said that we have played dirty games for the United States and the UK and the West,

01:37there is absolute truth and known to everyone.

01:39Pakistan is perhaps playing a dirty game for China now.

01:44China does not want India's economic progress.

01:47Pakistan also does not want.

01:49This terror attack in Pelgaam is not only a terror attack, it's also an economic impact.

01:55Before undertaking or instigating such an attack against India,

01:59I am reasonably sure that Pakistan would have conveyed and told China that we are going to do this

02:06and we might need your help once things heat up.

02:09China, in my mind, very much must have known about this act.

02:16For China now to say and give issue statesman-like statements, well, it's understandable.

02:24But China must have known about this attack beforehand.

02:27Pakistan army must have informed them.

02:29I think obviously it is expected that Pakistan is feeling threatened and is making preparations.

02:36It doesn't know what India will do.

02:38So from a certain viewpoint, it is good for India.

02:42Let Pakistan be on tenterhooks.

02:45They do not know and cannot anticipate from which direction any action from India could come.

02:51The longer Pakistan stays in this state of uncertainty, the more it degrades its own preparations,

03:00the more money it has to spend, right, the more resources it has to allocate for being better prepared,

03:06the more it takes away the money from its own economic purposes,

03:11the more the people of Pakistan get angry at the army.

03:15So I think this is a strategy also by India to keep Pakistan on their tenterhooks.

03:23Sir, also Pakistan leaders are raising their new book about the Parmanu bomb and all,

03:28and they said we have to, like airspace, we have to Parmanu,

03:33then we can also the fire if there is any condition of the, like war and all.

03:38So they are like said, all, most of the people are saying that, like we are ready,

03:43and then like they utter war.

03:45So what do you call it?

03:47See, Pakistan is making these threats about nuclear weapon usage.

03:53What it is trying to do is convey to the Western world that look here,

03:58I am threatened so much by India, I have no other option,

04:01I will have to use my nuclear bomb.

04:04So please do something.

04:06So what Pakistan is trying is to create an opinion and propaganda in the world

04:10so that world leaders create a pressure on India to lower the tensions.

04:17That is the game plan of Pakistan.

04:19I think the world very well understands what Pakistan is doing.

04:23And no matter what Pakistan keeps saying,

04:26India will keep its preparations and will take whatever steps India has to take.

04:30Pakistan is trying to, you know, get the international community

04:35to put pressure on India to lower the tensions.

04:41They try to, like, more and more, like, they try to violate the ceasefire,

04:47they fire the bullets and all near LOC.

04:49So what are comments on it?

04:50See, Pakistan violating the LOC has two clear objectives and maybe more.

04:56One is that, you see, under the cover of fire,

04:59they can push across extremists from their sides into India.

05:04That's a strategy they've done often.

05:06You know, they start firing over the border, distract our forces.

05:10In the commotion from some other portion, you know, extremist jihadists enter India.

05:15So that's one strategy.

05:17The other is a propaganda to their own people inside Pakistan

05:21to show them and tell them, look here, the borders are hot.

05:26And Indians are attacking.

05:28And it is now time for Pakistanis to unite and support the Pakistan military.

05:32So this is a strategy, a propaganda, to get the people of Pakistan

05:37to blindly back the Pakistan military once again.

05:41See, Pakistan has clearly been, it has been known,

05:56and what Pakistan's ministers said,

05:59that we have played dirty games for the United States and the UK and the West.

06:06There is absolute truth and known to everyone.

06:10Pakistan played America's dirty game against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan,

06:15for which it got money from America.

06:17Similarly, again, Pakistan played a dirty game on behalf of America,

06:22against the Taliban, for which, again, it earned money.

06:25Okay.

06:26And against India, whatever goes on, they're not admitting.

06:28The point is, Pakistan is used to playing dirty games on behalf of the United States.

06:34The difference now is, Pakistan is perhaps playing a dirty game for China now.

06:41China does not want India's economic progress.

06:44Pakistan also does not want.

06:46Right now in the world, due to the Trump tariffs,

06:49many companies are looking to relocate from China into other nations, including India.

06:54This terror attack in Pelgaam is not only a terror attack,

06:59it's also an economic impact,

07:02because by creating such situations,

07:04many companies will worry and postpone or not decide to come to India

07:09when there are such tensions.

07:12So this is an economic attack by Pakistan,

07:15could be very well on behalf and dirty work on behalf of China.

07:20China welcomes any measure that helps cool down the situation

07:29and support conductors, just investigation as soon as possible.

07:32They said that India and Pakistan both are my neighbouring countries.

07:35So I hope that they will,

07:37Shahids will exercise this way in their work

07:39and it will be clear investigation.

07:42See, there are two things.

07:43either this attack has taken place

07:48by encouragement from China

07:52and Pakistan has played that dirty game against India

07:55to hit India's economic activity

07:57or Pakistan, yes, has done it on its own.

08:02But tell me something,

08:04will Pakistan not inform China

08:06before undertaking such a step?

08:08because it knows

08:10if it does this,

08:12India will retaliate

08:13and like right now.

08:16And if and when India retaliates,

08:18Pakistan will need all help from China,

08:21especially in terms of weapons, munitions, etc.

08:24So before undertaking

08:26or instigating such an attack against India,

08:29I am reasonably sure

08:31that Pakistan would have conveyed

08:33and told China

08:34that we are going to do this

08:36and we might need your help

08:38once things heat up.

08:40So China, in my mind,

08:42very much must have known

08:43about this act.

08:47For China now to say

08:48and give issue

08:50statesman-like statements,

08:53well, it's understandable.

08:55But China must have known

08:56about this attack beforehand.

08:58Pakistan Army must have informed them

09:00because they know that

09:02once they play this game in Pehlgaam,

09:04there will be a major retaliation by India

09:06and when India retaliates,

09:07Pakistan will need support from China

09:09in weapons, munitions.
