Pahalgam Terror Attack: The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April not only took the lives of 28 innocent people, but also shook the whole of India. There is tremendous anger among the people and the government of India after this attack. The country is condemning this Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in one voice, and now India's response will not be limited to mere condemnation - the Indian government has clearly indicated this.Pakistan has shot itself in the footLike every time, Pakistan has hatched another nefarious conspiracy, but this time it has shot itself in the foot. This time the Indian government has decided to surround Pakistan on every front. Slogans are being raised against Pakistan on the streets, while in the Parliament and ministries, a strategy is being worked on to teach it a lesson.Strict military and diplomatic stepsSoon after the attack, an emergency meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) was held under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where several decisive decisions were taken:Review of Indus Water Treaty: India has suspended the Indus Water Treaty. This move is a direct blow to Pakistan's agriculture-based economy, as more than 80% of its farming is dependent on the Indus system.Diplomatic strike: Military, air force and naval advisors have been expelled from the High Commission of Pakistan. At the same time, India has also decided to withdraw its military advisors present in Islamabad.Attari checkpoint closed: Attari border, an important place of Indo-Pak trade, has been closed with immediate effect.Visa cancellation: Visa exemption schemes given to Pakistani citizens have been suspended, and previously issued visas have also been cancelled.Pakistan living in fearPakistan is nervous after these actions of India. Its defence minister and former diplomats have been constantly hinting that India can retaliate at any time. Intelligence sources and diplomatic analysts believe that India can move towards limited but effective military action, like the Balakot strike.India's changed stanceThis time India is not going to sit quietly. Prime Minister Modi has made it clear that now Pakistan will be answered in its own language. By saying "This is just a trailer", India has made it clear that more stringent steps will be taken in future.Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's statement - "This time such a reply will be given that the world will see", and Home Minister Amit Shah's assurance that "terrorists will not be spared", are glimpses of India's future stance.Conclusion: Now the accounts will be settledEvery time Pakistan does not stop its antics. But now India's patience is giving way. On one hand the people of the country have come out on the streets against Pakistan, while on the other hand the government is also moving forward on a decisive front. In the coming days, India's response will not be limited only to terrorists, but Pakistan, the patron of terrorism, will be made to understand in its own language.
