International News: Last week, the barbaric terror attack in Pahalgam in Kashmir shook the public of India. 26 innocent lives ended in this gruesome attack. But now what is coming in front, it shows not only terror, but also on the international stage. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif himself has started pleading with the US to be kept in "restraint". But the real question is - on which restraint and why?

Pakistan Seeks US Help to De-escalate Tensions

After the incident, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave the army "complete operational freedom" - the answer will not be done with guns, not now. Shabbaz Sharif, who was stunned by this attitude of India, pleaded with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to explain to India to "work responsibly". Talking about calming the rhetoric, Sharif himself also added that India is planning a military action.

Pakistan-Backed Group Behind Attack

The responsibility of the Pahalgam massacre was taken by TRF (The Resistance Front), a branch of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba. He later tried to retraten, but it was too late. The attack was the largest civilian massacre of recent years in Kashmir. The terrorists who came out of the cedar forests opened fire on the tourists. Does Pakistan still suit "restraint"?

India's Strategic Retaliatio

After the attack, India reduced diplomatic relations with Pakistan. Ban on the Indus Water Treaty, closure the attic-wagah border, expel Pakistani military officers-one after the other on the front. The answer is also strategic, not just military. At the same time, Pakistan has also suspended the Shimla Agreement, but these steps show more discomfort, not strengthened.

Diplomacy Hits Rock Bottom

Shahbaz Sharif to say to the US that India's "provocative activities" will distract Pakistan from the fight with terror, in fact there is an acceptance - that Pakistan is not fighting with terror, but is only pretending under India's pressure. In the flames of Pahalgam, not only humans are burnt, now layers of international relationships are also becoming ashes.
