Of late, Pakistan has been busy "catching Indian agents" in "the act". First, it was Kulbhushan Yadav. India alleges that he guy was in Iran, when he was dragged into Pakistani border, and foisted with spying charges, tried and convicted. Whether Pakistan is right, or that they trying to frame, no one will really know. These are spy and war games and anything is indeed possible Today's news below adds more spice. So, is it the Silk Route turing into Spicy route?
To me, these do not appear to be isolated incidents. I see the the breathing of fire of the dragon in all this.
Take a step back and look at the big picture. Pakistan is increasingly cozying up to China, and it just suits China, at a time, when the US is consciously moving away from using Pakistan as the toilet paper to wipe terrorists away. With Trump now in charge, there is immense pressure to declare Pak a rogue state along the lines of Syria, Cuba, North Korea etc. It is in Pakistan's interests, therefore, to take refuge under the shadow of the dragon. And it that plays right into China's hands.
China is being increasingly being marginalized at the UN, in admitting India into the Security Council. So far, they have dodged with their veto power. However, they know that they cannot hold off for too long, and would naturally look for new ammunition against a strong India's case.
Pakistan, to me, is attempting to bracket India with itself. " You call me a rogue state! Now , what will you call India, who are fomenting trouble inside my territory? Call them a rogue state too! Stop all Nuclear shipments with them! Cancel all free trade with them!!"
That could, with one stone, kill two birds. One, the blooming bonhomie between India and the West, could be checkmated, much to Pakistan's glee, if they succeed in this attempt. Two, it gives China the perfect to ammo to stop any of India's dreams of making it to the Council. Plus, China could also easily say " See! We told you so! India is creating trouble in OUR territories like Ladakh, Tibet and Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim, and ( when India is sleeping a bit), TAMIL NADU too!!"
What would be India's response? Let us wait and watch.
