What is happening?
The world held it’s breath when the two nuclear-states, India and Pakistan, clashed in early May 2025.
The fighting was brought on by a terrorist-attack in the disputed Kashmir region, that left 26 dead.
Unstable ceasefire
The two countries since then agreed on a ceasefire to halt the fighting, but during a visit in London by an Indian delegation, it became clear that a ceasefire is not the same as peace.
“Paused, not stopped”
British newspaper, Express, asked Ravi Shankar Prasad, an MP from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) about the rish of further violence in the region, to which he replied that the operations was “paused, not stopped.”
“Pakistan’s bluff has been called”
He added:
“The nuclear bluff of Pakistan has been caled out.”
He also emphazised that India has a “no first use” policy when it comes to nuclear weapons, but he also said: “We are capable of responding.”
Pakistan denies responsibility
In late April, the Pakistani Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, described India’s narrative regarding the terrorist shooting as false.
Staged by India?
Speaking to Sky News on April 25, he even suggested that India had staged the shooting.
“If there is an all-out attack or something like that, then obviously there will be an all-out war,” he said.
