Khawaja Asif: After Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said that Islamabad would be erased from the map if it crossed the line, there was a sharp war of words between the two countries again. The statement, which showed India’s growing military confidence, reminded Pakistan of operations like the surgical strikes and the Balakot air raid that made it look bad.
In reaction, Khawaja Asif, the defence minister of Pakistan, said something angry and rather rude. He said that India would be buried if such a move were made. What he said got a lot of attention on both sides of the border, and many experts said it was just him trying to save face.
Old Repetitive Pattern
It’s not the first time that Pakistan’s leaders have responded with anger instead of thought. Political experts say that Islamabad often uses loud speech to draw attention away from the uncertainty in its own country and its weak reputation around the world.
General Dwivedi’s warning wasn’t just words; it showed that India was ready to fight back strongly if it was needed to. The Indian Army’s disciplined restraint and tactical successes, like Operation Sindoor, have shown over and over that India values peace but will never stand for aggression.
Khawaja Asif’s Wacky 0-6 Comment
Adding to the tension, Khawaja Asif made fun of India’s military power by bringing up a strange “0-6” joke, which many in Pakistan’s media found strange and crazy. His words have once again shown how disconnected the leaders are from what’s happening on the ground.
Observers think that these kinds of opinions only show how unsafe Islamabad is and how unable it is to negotiate peacefully. Instead of making the area more peaceful, Pakistan’s leaders keep encouraging violence and denial.
A Lesson Not Learned Yet
As things get worse, it’s clear that Pakistan hasn’t learned from its mistakes yet. India has always had the upper hand, whether it was in Kargil, Balakot, or Operation Sindoor.
Instead of making empty threats, experts tell Islamabad to focus on peace and cooperation. In the end, experience has shown over and over that words fade, but military reality stays the same.
