Balakot Air Strike Exposed Pakistan’s “Nuclear Bluff”, Says Arun Jaitley

India exposed Pakistan’s “nuclear bluff” by carrying out an air strike on a

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror camp in the neighbouring country’s Balakot on
February 26, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley reportedly said today. The Union
Minister said this at India TV’s Aap Ki Adalat programme, news agency IANS
reported. “India fought and won conventional wars against Pakistan in 1965, 1971
and during the Kargil conflict. Since then, Pakistan’s army has realised that
because of our huge economy and superior military strength, conventional wars
cannot be won,” it quoted him as saying.

He claimed that the Pakistan Army then had two options – one, fighting a proxy
war with the help of terrorists, and two, projecting a nuclear bluff. “Since
both the countries are armed with nuclear weapons, the nuclear bluff was their
second option. But it has been exposed this time,” Mr Jaitley said.

According to IANS, the Finance Minister said that India has stopped adopting a
defensive posture under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership. “Till now,
Pakistan’s policy was to send terrorists for carrying out attacks while our
policy was to be on the defensive. Modiji has brought about a small change in
that. While we will continue to defend ourselves, we will also attack the main
sources of terrorism. The 2016 surgical strike was our first step, and the
latest air strikes were the second,” he said at the event, adding that the
operations were widely supported across the globe.

Mr Jaitley reportedly said that opposition parties were indulging in “foolish

politics” by seeking evidence of the Balakot strike. “These parties and leaders
should know that operational details of the armed forces are never shared,” he
was quoted as saying by the news agency.

According to IANS, Mr Jaitley cited two reasons for Pakistan claiming that the
Indian jets were forced flee after unloading their payload into an uninhabited
zone. “There are two plausible reasons… First, the Pakistan army had created a
big aura about its prowess among Pakistanis, and it did not want its image
dented,” he said.

The second reason was more vital, the Finance Minister claimed. “Had the
Pakistan army admitted that our fighters bombed its buildings, the first
question to be raised would have been: What was the extent of damage? Experts
would have come for a survey of the buildings and asked about the people staying
inside… then Pakistan would have had to reveal names of the Jaish fighters who
died there,” the news agency quoted Mr Jaitley as saying.

India had targeted a terrorist camp in Pakistan’s Balakot on February 26, around
ten days after 40 CRPF soldiers were killed in a terror attack at Pulwama in
Jammu and Kashmir.
