KARACHI:
The Indian attempts to blame Pakistan for what appears to be a choreographed “drone attack” on an air force base in Jammu city of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have fallen flat as the entire drama began to unravel.
The “drone stunt” is consistent with previous Indian attempts to stage false flag operations as part of its strategy to take the spotlight off its internal issues, to malign Pakistan globally, and to discredit an indigenous freedom movement in IIOJK that it has failed to quell.
