Former Jammu and Kashmir Director General of Police S.P. Vaid has labeled Pakistan a fraudulent and rogue regime, accusing its military and intelligence apparatus of hoodwinking the global community. According to Indian intelligence, while Pakistan attempts to project 19 terrorists as fugitives ahead of an impending Financial Action Task Force visit, all of them remain safely inside Pakistani territory.
Vaid asserted that the Pakistani deep state and military continuously deceive the world through fabricated lists and staged disappearances. Pointing out that an FATF delegation is scheduled to visit, he noted that Islamabad is attempting to show these individuals have fled, which completely contradicts reality. Intelligence inputs confirm they are hiding within Pakistan, and authorities simply refuse to show them as arrested. He questioned how long the world will tolerate such falsehoods from the Pakistani military, specifically asking about the whereabouts of individuals linked to the Mumbai attacks alongside Masood Azhar.
Recalling past claims about Masood Azhar, the former top cop mentioned that Pakistan previously claimed the terrorist was in Afghanistan, a claim promptly denied by Kabul. He remarked that since Azhar cannot enter India and has no escape route underground or into the skies, his movements are severely restricted, especially given how he wept after losing family members during past security operations. Because the remaining figures are UN-designated terrorists barred from international travel, Pakistan is merely staging a grand deception to mislead global watchdogs.
Emphasizing Pakistan's unease regarding the FATF visit, Vaid urged international organizations to recognize the rogue nature of the regime. Truth has no place in a system dictated entirely by military whims where sponsoring terrorism remains state policy. He noted that even during the BRICS summit, nations including China condemned the Pahalgam attack, proving that Pakistan's deceptive maneuvering warrants strict global notice and exposure.
Meanwhile, defense expert D.P. Pandey analyzed the situation along the Line of Actual Control, noting that troop deployments have decreased compared to 2025. While acknowledging positive shifts in Beijing's attitude, he warned that India must never place blind trust in its neighbor. Reports indicate a slight reduction in military buildup along the LAC since last year, a natural consequence after heavy accumulations following the Galwan Valley clash. Beijing eventually realized that constructive dialogue with New Delhi is the only viable path forward, especially after India made it clear that bilateral trade and restrictions would remain tied to border normalcy.
Pandey added that security-level talks continue based on this calculated approach, noting that Xi Jinping's visit for the BRICS summit and his discussions with the Prime Minister centered on regional security. Although relations are expected to improve incrementally, Indian armed forces must maintain constant vigilance and avoid extending total trust to Beijing, particularly as China grapples with various internal and external pressures.
