Hybrid warfare

Published

WE are living in an age where countries fight proxy wars instead of taking each other head on. India has waged a war on Pakistan by creating rifts in society, targeting scholars, artists, schoolchildren and minorities.

All of this is being done to create unrest in the country in order to sabotage the economic activity taking place under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The repeated attacks on the Hazara community in Balochistan have shown that the enemy will stoop to any level to hurt Pakistan and its people as part of the hybrid warfare.

It is time we addressed the shortcomings and ensured that such incidents were not repeated.
