Public opinion reflects frustration and skepticism about the United Nations Security Council's (UNSC) effectiveness in resolving India-Pakistan tensions, especially following the Pahalgam terror attack. There is widespread criticism of the UNSC's perceived bias and inefficacy, with calls for India to take decisive actions independently. Nationalistic support for India, notably Prime Minister Modi, is evident, alongside demands for stronger international condemnation of Pakistan's alleged role in terrorism.

Pakistan, which has denied any role in the massacre that claimed 26 lives, had so far not condemned the attack even though it expressed concerns at the loss of tourists’ lives in the attack.

Pakistan, serving as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council joined other Council member-states in strongly condemning the Pahalgam terrorist attack but not before working to water it down with help from China. Pakistan, which has denied any role in the massacre that claimed 26 lives, had so far not condemned the attack even though it expressed concerns at the loss of tourists’ lives in the attack.

nishitd

Pakistan, with their rented abbu China, will downplay this anyhow by any means.......No wonder.  
Moreover p@k got a Two-year tenure as a non-permanent member. (so it's obvious)

From the UNSC pov - **it is sometimes better to have a weaker statement agreed by everyone than to have no statement at all.**

BE_the_competition

The UNSC is a joke of an organization. These resolutions don't matter one bit.

ididacannonball

It does not matter unless other nations are condemning this attack and supports India's retaliation.

📣 **[Submission Statement by OP](/r/GeopoliticsIndia/comments/1kbnwld/no_indian_air_force_attacks_into_pakistan/mpvw5w1/)**:
&gt; SS: In a video published by *Force Magazine*, Pravin Sawhney asserts that India will not launch air strikes into Pakistan or escalate tensions into full-scale war, despite recent provocations. Drawing from a high-level security meeting led by Prime Minister Modi -- with key military and defense figures present -- the speaker argues that India’s military response will remain tactical and largely confined to the Army, with limited naval posturing and no action from the Air Force. He emphasizes that India’s military logistics and mobilization complexities, reminiscent of 2002’s Operation Parakram, preclude any immediate offensive. Moreover, China’s explicit backing of Pakistan, including non-kinetic warfare capabilities from the PLA, further deters India from escalation. These Chinese capabilities -- ranging from cyber warfare to satellite-based targeting -- create strategic constraints for India, reducing its operational freedom. In this context, the video contends that sense has prevailed within the Indian establishment, with future de-escalation potentially facilitated by U.S. diplomatic intervention, notably through Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

&gt; SS: **Summary:**
&gt;
&gt;Amid escalating tensions with Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs has directed states to conduct civil defence mock drills on May 7. These nationwide drills aim to enhance preparedness for hostile attacks and will include testing air raid sirens, blackout simulations, evacuation rehearsals, and training civilians—including students—in emergency response measures. Authorities have also been instructed to camouflage key infrastructure. The drills reflect heightened security readiness as diplomatic and military strains continue between the two nations.

What the F were we importing from this beggar nation?

redreddit83

So Pakistan will stop exporting their terrorists as well?

Level-Negotiation721

After 2019, the total imports were less than 5 crore per year. So, this is nothing. But more than 50% of medicines in Pakistan was imported from India, so our export control is going to make them super expensive as there is no country that produces low cost medicines.

Fdsn

Pretty sure terrorism is already banned in India.

B99fanboy

Sorry to break it to you, Pakistan will still export terrorism.
