I truly don’t understand the widespread panic and overreaction. Are we, as ordinary citizens, really in a position to claim we know better than those entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the nation? Prime Minister Modi, his cabinet, our armed forces, and the intelligence community possess far more nuanced insights and strategic foresight than we do from the outside looking in.
If our leadership were to react impulsively—issuing rash statements or retaliating without calculated strategy—they would be no different from the chaotic and often erratic behavior of Nawaz Sharif or Donald Trump
. What sets our leadership apart is precisely the composure and restraint they exhibit, even under immense pressure.
Modi has always operated on the principle that words must carry weight, not be wasted for the sake of appeasement or outrage. When he speaks, it resonates because it is measured, purposeful, and grounded in substance. In an era of noise and reactionary politics, the discipline to remain silent when necessary is a mark of statesmanship, not weakness.
Yes, many of us are angry over recent developments following the ceasefire talks—but can we even begin to imagine the depth of anger and strategic pressure felt by those at the helm? And yet, they choose silence. That silence is not indifference—it is resolve. It is the calm before a response, one that will be delivered not through loud rhetoric, but through decisive action when the moment demands it.
I trust my Prime Minister’s silence. I believe it carries within it a calculated response, perhaps not through open conflict but through other channels—economic, diplomatic, or strategic—that will deliver the message to those who undermine our sovereignty. Silence, in the hands of wise leadership, is not submission. It is preparation.
