Pakistan's 'Strategic Anxiety' Over Doval's Speech: India's Zero-Tolerance on Terror

  • Indian NSA Ajit Doval's speech to youth, urging them to 'avenge' past subjugation, sparked a diplomatic row with Pakistan.
  • Doval emphasized national strength and self-reliance, citing historical figures like Bhagat Singh and Subhash Chandra Bose, not military aggression.
  • Pakistan's MOFA spokesperson Tahir Andrabi called Doval a 'camouflaged hate-monger', accusing India of 'imagined historical vendettas'.
  • Indian government sources dismissed Pakistan's response as 'strategic anxiety' due to India's firm stance against cross-border terrorism.
  • New Delhi highlighted Pakistan's historical use of non-state actors and mainstreaming of groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, questioning its moral authority.

Why It Matters: Pakistan's strong reaction to Ajit Doval's speech reveals its 'strategic anxiety' over India's anti-terror stance.
