India-Pakistan Tensions Rise After Pahalgam Incident | Global Reactions and Peace Calls

Former Head of Indian Intelligence Agency RAW's Shocking Revelation
Responsibility for the Pahalgam Incident Placed on Modi's Government

"Former RAW head A.S. Dulat blames Modi government for the Pahalgam incident, while the U.S. calls for a responsible solution to rising tensions between Pakistan and India. Pakistan offers a UN-led investigation, and China's unwavering support strengthens the peace efforts in South Asia.

The former head of India's intelligence agency RAW, A.S. Dulat, has also placed the responsibility for the Pahalgam incident on the Modi government. In an interview with the BBC, the former RAW head stated that Kashmir's security is in the hands of Delhi, and it is their responsibility. The Pahalgam incident happened because there was no security there. Rejecting fears of a war between Pakistan and India, A.S. Dulat said he believes war will not happen; somewhere, sometime, there will be talks. The current environment is tense, and dialogue might take some time.

The former head of RAW also suggested that Pakistan and India should establish a back-channel, and if they don’t want to meet face-to-face, Saudi Arabia, Iran, or the UAE could facilitate this. In response to a question, A.S. Dulat said people often say that Modi and Nawaz Sharif have a good relationship, as Nawaz has always expressed a desire to work with India.

The U.S. Demands Responsible Resolution of Tensions Between Pakistan and India

The U.S. has urged Pakistan and India to find a responsible resolution to the escalating tensions after the Pahalgam attack. U.S. State Department spokesperson, Tammi Bruce, said in a press briefing that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday, urging both countries to find a responsible solution that ensures long-term peace and regional stability in South Asia. She added that the U.S. remains in contact with both governments at various levels. After the phone calls between the U.S. Secretary of State and the leaders of both countries, the threat of war began to dissipate, though some leaders in India continue to incite tensions.

In response to a question, the State Department spokesperson clarified that the U.S. is standing by India in its fight against terrorism. She stated that, as President Donald Trump had told Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week, the U.S. fully supports India in its fight against terrorism.

Pakistan Offers to Form a UN Commission to Investigate the Pahalgam Incident

Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated that either a few countries should jointly conduct the investigation, or the UN should form a commission. He mentioned that India is not accepting the offer for an investigation because it fears that other aspects might come to light. Asif emphasized that the possibility of dialogue cannot be ruled out under any circumstances. Regardless of how tense the situation is, the path of negotiation should always be pursued.

He further said that while the likelihood of a Pakistan-India confrontation has reduced, India is currently in a state of confusion. The entire world is saying that the issue should be resolved through dialogue. He suggested that countries like the U.S., Russia, China, Turkey, or Iran could initiate the investigation. He raised questions about the Pahalgam incident, where an FIR was filed within minutes, and the credibility of the Pahalgam incident has started to crack from within India itself. He clarified that the appointment of Pakistan's National Security Advisor has no connection to the negotiation issue.
