In response Indian officials suggested that Pakistan’s move was an empty ploy that ignored the real problem between the two countries. According to New Delhi even if the captured pilot were returned home, there would be no chance “to go back to zero” and easing tensions would be impossible until Pakistan acted against terrorist groups that it has been using as proxies against India. • Prime Minister Imran Khan reiterated the importance of the Kashmir issue which lies at the roots of all bilateral issues between India and Pakistan. On February 27, 2019, the Indian government summoned the Pakistani Envoy and handed over a demarche demanding the “immediate and safe return” of the captured pilot. The US, China, Britain and other world powers have urged restraint on both sides as tensions continue to escalate between India and Pakistan. Meanwhile, Turkey said that it supports Pakistan’s position, and rejected the accusations leveled by India on Pakistan that it was behind the Pulwama attack. • There is now growing unease within Pakistan that tensions may lead to war given the Modi government’s aggressive posturing. Meanwhile India has suffered glaring contradictions during the past few days.
