BJP’s government has consistently remained engaged in supporting any electoral campaign with hate-mongering, fictitious and politically motivated propaganda against Muslims in India in general and Pakistan in particular. Ironically, India’s Hindutva-driven society succumbs to such political gimmicks and BJP succeeds in securing electoral victory. A recent opinion article by Sachin Parashar in The Times of India is a similar effort to glorify Mr Narendra Modi. The article is a resume of former diplomat Ajay Bisaria’s book ‘Anger Management’ in which he opines about troubled relations between India and Pakistan. The author being a Personal Secretary to BJP’s first Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, truly lives up to his affiliations by eulogizing Modi’s so-called post Pulwama feat. This article named as “Qatal Ki Raat” is an effort to proliferate specific excerpts of the book favouring BJP’s forthcoming electoral campaign for Lok Sabha Elections. Smear content in the book certainly merits scrutiny being divergent from ground facts in February 2019. During this BJP-driven fiasco, Pakistan’s political and military leadership displayed an undaunted response manifested in the form of “Operation Swift Retort”, however, concurrently remained conscious of acting as a responsible and peace-seeking neighbour to jingoistic India.
