India, I think, is doing a great job of making itself out to be a martyr. We have been the perfect political opportunists in the scenario, and we are in a win-win situation from the very beginning. There is no way we can lose. This is a foolish manoeuvre by Pakistan . They'll have to back off and tell their forces to withdraw.

All they are doing with this kind of action is bringing everyone together under a common cause. As a nation, we have had little to look forward to. But now suddenly, we have patriotism to show to the world.
