Geopolitical experts have said that if terrorist Pakistan is to be controlled, India must completely destroy Pakistan’s economy. Here is a news report on why they say so.
Following the Kashmir attack, India has taken 5 major steps against Pakistan, including suspending the Indus Water Treaty, immediately closing the Attari-Wagah border, canceling Indian visas for Pakistanis, expelling Pakistani diplomats in Delhi, and reducing the number of Indian officials in the Islamabad embassy.
While India has taken these major steps after realizing the seriousness of the terrorist attack, this alone is not enough. There are voices that more stringent measures are needed against Pakistan and that India should immediately stop supplying pharmaceuticals to Pakistan.
Political experts say that this is the right time for India to insist that the world countries stop providing arms and financial assistance to Pakistan.
Pakistan, which is in economic decline, has cleverly enlisted the US and China to help it. The US has subsidized F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan. Despite the US condition not to use F-16 fighter jets against India, Pakistan never implements them.
Moreover, Pakistan buys a large number of weapons from China, including sophisticated missiles, advanced naval warships, reconnaissance and precision strike drones and fighter jets. China’s share in Pakistan’s total arms imports is 81 percent.
Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves, which are in a state of economic decline, are $ 10.5 billion. In this situation, it is very easy for India to pressure Pakistan economically. In particular, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been providing a lot of financial assistance to Pakistan. Recently, along with China, these two countries have come forward to provide a loan of $ 5.51 billion to Pakistan.
Thus, Pakistan, which borrows to save the country’s economy, uses the funds for terrorism-related activities against India. Economists have said that India should force those countries to stop the remaining financial aid tranches, citing this.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. The Pahalgam attack has presented India with such an opportunity. It is true that some measures, even if unspoken and invisible, can have a huge impact. In that sense, political experts have said that India should act diplomatically to isolate Pakistan.
