Pulwama's impact

Whether it was a suicidal of a freedom fighter or recurrent genocidal of Modi Sarkar, Pulwama has a serious clash of interest with Pakistan's current internal & external situation & aspirations. Straightaway blaming Pakistan without any evidence is the nonsense that has been going on unchecked for some time now. Like 2008 fake Bombay Attacks, India has a track record of orchestrating such incidents. And if it has manipulated again, it cannot get away with it. Pulwama suicidal plot is so lame that its not even selling inside incredible India. It has no chance to sell outside. Why so? Let's explore:
India is already marginalised to irrelevance in current Afghan situation. Its two decades' long policy of bleeding Pakistan from Western Borders is on ventilator. Kalbhoshan case is set for hearing at ICJ. Congress has made some political ground in recent elections & is threatening to oust Modi Sarkar in next elections. As a consequence of brutal atrocities of Indian forces & shameless silence of International media/community, Kashmiris are entitled to indigenous freedom struggle. We are morally, socially & religiously bound to support Kashmiris. They still carry Pakistani flags & pay huge price for this association. Current surge in freedom movement does not have outside backing. India, be alarmed, Kashmiris are not taking it anymore.
As for Pakistan, things are different. No elections in sight. Govt has full term ahead of it. 'Everybody' is on the same page which is a good omen & a force multiplier. Anti state media has lost its sting & fat money of its patrons. Even Shahbaz Sharif condemned India today. Some extensive diplomacy is going on. We luckily have a Foreign Minister. Foreign Office is also working. Engagement with all big players is proactive & fruitful. Russia is cool with us. US needs us to broker its face saving exit from Afghanistan. China is on board & CPEC is going ahead lock, stock & barrel. Game Changer would be an understatement. Role in Yemen had immense impact. KSA is bringing in money, they sense its workable for more than one reason. Besides giving grief to Iran, Saudis will be sole providers of Western China's lifeline for progress, the oil. With refinery in Gawadar, China is likely to get cheaper price of oil; total win-win scenario. Yes, Iran wouldn't appreciate Saudi presence at its borders. But Iran has never been useful to Pakistan. Its sectoral identity never allowed it to see us as reliable neighbors. But we may tag them in in mutually beneficial joint economic ventures.
Pakistan is flexing to make an impression on international & regional power matrix & trying to come out of previous govts' economic quagmire. It is logical to conclude that Pakistan has little to gain out of Pulwama type incidents.
In the backdrop of foregoing, it is logical to conclude that Pulwama type incident only serves Modi's political interest. But the plot is flimsy. Can he be the architect of Pulwama? Can he kill few people for political gains? Probability is higher. May be in frustration, he was feeling genocidal again. May be he killed his own people again. Expect nothing less from the Butcher of Gujrat. If Mr Bipin Rawat doesn't want to swallow his false pride, he may get another fake video made of imaginary surgical strikes & continue to cherish his Army's fictitous heroics. But if he still insists, we are relatively free from Western Borders & battle hardened thanks to Indian proxies of past two decades. 
Way forward for Pakistan is to vehemently pursue its case at international forums, engage all stakeholders on the issue, discuss our stance on national & international media, hire lobbyists, ask for tangible evidence against baseless Pulwama allegations of India & continue to expose hoax of incredible India. There has never been more opportune time to take the game to India. Like every other challenge, Pulwama offers an opportunity to re-assert our regional role & re-claim our international nuisance. 
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
