Also called stage-managed, false flag operations are becoming a norm in the modern world. Author Richard Dolan in a conference 2015 talked about the “false flag era.” According to Dolan, because false flag operations require control over the global media narrative and the ability to intimidate other countries into not speaking out against inside jobs, only a few countries have the means and motives to pull them off. “The false flag phenomenon is distinctively modern and used as an ideological weapon to control populations with the fear of a manufactured enemy. They are used in ostensibly democratic systems where people believe they have inalienable rights. Such democratic systems must shock people into sociopolitical and geopolitical consent and, as such, require sophisticated modern propaganda systems and advanced covert operations teams with highly proficient skills.”
India has a history of carrying out false flag operations to achieve its goals. The Uri attack, and before that the Pathankot incident, had all the hallmarks of false flag operations. The Ganga hijack in 1971 was also such an operation. In 2015, the Indian authorities had sunk a boat off the coast of the western Indian state of Gujarat, claiming that it was coming from Pakistan with explosives on board. A senior official of the Indian Coast Guard had claimed that the four people on board the fishing vessel had ignored repeated warnings and had deliberately set the boat on fire. The fabricated terrorist plot was exposed when the Indian Coast Guard DIG B K Loshali contradicted the government's version of events in connection with the interception of the boat and said the Indian Navy had itself blown up the boat, which had not been exploded by the alleged suicide attackers. He was removed as the Chief of Staff in Northwest region and attached to Indian Coast Guard's zonal headquarters. Loshali then faced court martial proceedings after being indicted by a Board of Inquiry.
Also, in July 27, 2015, three gunmen allegedly opened fire on a bus in the Indian Punjab and then stormed a police station in a town called Dinanagar. The attack led to the death of three civilians and four policemen and injured 15 others. The shootout between the Indian armed forces and the attackers continued for about 12 hours. It was the first such attack in the Indian Punjab since the mid-1990s when an insurgency was running in the state for setting up the independent state of Khalistan. Again it was a crazy plot with no head and tail. Nevertheless, the Indian authorities were quick to blame Pakistan.
Now Pulwama is another false flag operation, a part of Indian deep state/ Doval-Modi stratagem, carried out by India. Many questions bother one’s mind. The bomber Adil Dar was not seen active along with other Kashmiri youth fighting against Indian forces since last year. Suddenly, he appeared on social media with pictures in revolutionary attire. Moreover, the viral video indicates that the incident was done by him individually without the assistance of other colleagues, which creates doubts. It was also reported by the Indian media that the CRPF convoy was delayed by two days. Then how an individual had the info about the exact passage of the CRPF convoy?
The incident came as the Saudi Crown Prince was about to visit Pakistan, the Kulbhushan case was to be heard at the ICJ, a presentation was to made by Pakistan at FATF while Islamabad was to hold US-Taliban talks among other developments.
The Modi government with limited powers of comprehension and deduction has been unable to convince the world about Pakistan’s role in such operations. Nevertheless, Pakistan should be prepared and expect more such plots in the future.
