Its India vs. Pakistan in cyberspace

After Pulwama attack, a lot of things happened which changed the dynamics of the Indo-Pak relationship. Most of the events related to diplomacy, battlefield, and economics. Cyberwar is something new. Hackers from Pakistan attacked over 90 Indian government websites and critical systems within hours of the Pulwama suicide strike by a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist.

The attacks were so ferocious that India has to turn offensive. The attackers were not able to breach firewalls and protective measures of critical systems. Financial systems and power grid management ones were specially targeted.

Interestingly, the attacks on the Indian networks came from Bangladesh – a country that is friendly to India. “The coordinated manner in which the attacks were carried out and the use of facilities in Bangladesh leaves us with no doubt about the nature of the attack,” an official said.

As the government became aware of the hacking attacks, the attackers tried another approach. They tried their luck on social media in the form of rumors, fake news, photoshopped images, etc. For instance, a photoshopped image of the mastermind behind the Pulwama attack, Kamran, did rounds on the internet. Another example is that a day after India’s strike on a Jaish camp in Pakistan, and on the same day as Pakistan’s attempted counter-strike, social media buzzed with the alleged sacking of Commander-in-Chief of the Western Air Command Air Marshal C Hari Kumar. Even as this was dying down, another rumor surfaced, talking of huge casualties to Indian forces in Rajouri.

After successive waves of attacks were thwarted, the government advised all departments to not violate “Standard Operating Procedures” and be on the alert. The exact nature and extent of India’s offensive operation, and the agencies behind this aren’t known, and none of the officials would elaborate on this point.

“Offensive capabilities did help India get a grip of the situation. There was damage in Pakistan too,” said a cybersecurity professional working in the private sector, and who advises the government.

War Clouds hovering again over Doklam

The recent satellite images of the region had shredded the veil of peace which was laboriously woven by India and China after the Summer deal. People’s Liberation Army (PLA) personnel have heavily occupied the near the last year’s site of confrontation. The recent build-up by China includes concrete posts, helipads, new trenches, and a concrete observation tower. This certainly indicates that China did not retreat and thus, broke the pact.

“All these structures have come up only after June 16, according to satellite images,” Vinayak Bhat, the retired colonel, who served the Indian Army for 33 years, said this after seeing the satellite image very closely. “China is trying to change the status quo in North Doklam. India must object because the entire area is Bhutanese land occupied by China.”

Government Reaction

Government is denying the reports. They ridiculed the satellite report and said that everything is Ok in Doklam. Last week, Congress cited those satellite images to accuse the government of misleading the nation. They also accused government of “snoozing” while the Chinese plan “Doklam 2.0”. In the response, government clarified that the nations are holding the status quo at the site and such reports are ridiculous and would mislead the nation.

“The Chinese build-up appears to be of a different order of magnitude than anything seen in the past and therefore should be a source of concern,” opposition lawmaker Shashi Tharoor said. “The government chose to spin the mutual disengagement from the face-off site as a major diplomatic victory. Its silence seems to have more to do with its reluctance to dilute that ‘triumph’ than with any realistic appreciation of the situation,” said Tharoor, who also heads India’s parliamentary standing committee on external affairs. The issue, he said, had come up “repeatedly” in the committee, but declined to elaborate on the “closed-door deliberations”.

India – China War Scene

Tension is not new among India and China. Currently, and the most important right now is the Doka-La issue between India and China. In June 2017, India accused China for constructing a road in the Doklam Plateau. Royal Bhutanese Army raised the objection and India intervened. China claims the Doklam Plateau that is close to Chumbi Valley at the corner of the India-Bhutan-China tri-junction near Sikkim sector.

Apart from Doklam, India has consistently saying no to the construction of road under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. It is supposed to pass from the PoK. It can worsen the agitation in Kashmir valley. According to India, it violates its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the region.

China vetoed India’s entry into Nuclear Supplier’s Group. China tried to prevent the banning of Jaish-e-Mohammad Chief, Masood Azhar in UNSC. Territorial issues like occupying the Leh region and naming it Aksai Chin and claiming Arunachal Pradesh as its own part are still not solved. Apart from that, construction of huge dam on Brahmaputra (Tsangpo) river has not been well swallowed by Indian government.

Conclusion

Prevention is better than cure. Government should acknowledge the advancement made by Chinese Army in the region. They should act soon. India should solve other issues like NSG entry, Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin as soon as possible.These issues are like gas bubbles in forging iron of our relationship with China.

NewBuzzIndia: पाकिस्तान की राजधानी इस्लामाबाद में बृहस्पतिवार देर रात करीब 10 बजे एफ-16 लड़ाकू विमान उड़ते दिखने से अफरातफरी मच गई, फाइटर जेट की कर्कश आवाज से घबरा कर लोग घरों से बाहर निकल आए। पाकिस्तान के समाचार चैनल Geo के पत्रकार हामिद मीर ने ट्वीट के माध्यम से यह जानकारी दी।

उन्होंने मीडिया से बातचीत में कहा कि उड़ी हमले के बाद भारत-पाक के बीच जिस तरह की युद्ध की स्थिति बनी है उससे पाकिस्तान को भारत की तरफ से कार्रवाई की आशंका है। इसी आशंका के बीच उसने फाइटर प्लेन से वार एक्सरसाइज शुरू कर दी है। 

उड़ता पंजाब: ‘मुझे मोदी का चमचा होने पर गर्व है।’- पहलाज निहलानी

NewBuzzIndia:

‘कोई माफ़ी नहीं, कोई इस्तीफ़ा नहीं।’ ये कहना है सेंसर बोर्ड के प्रमुख पहलाज निहलानी का। पहलाज निहलानी आज देश भर में चर्चा के केंद्र इस वजह से बन गए, क्योंकि उनका ये आरोप है कि अनुराग कश्यप की निर्देशित फ़िल्म ‘ उड़ता पंजाब’ में आम आदमी पार्टी का पैसा लगा है। हालाँकि फ़िल्म निर्देशक अनुराग कश्यप फ़िल्म पर हो रही राजनीति से बहुत दुखी नज़र आए, कई बार उनका गुस्सा सार्वजनिक तौर पर भी सामने आया। उन्होंने इसकी सफाई भी दी, कि उनकी फ़िल्म और राजनीति से दूर दूर तक कोई नाता नहीं है। पहलाज निहलानी के इस आरोप का बॉलीवुड जगत के साथ साथ सोशल मीडिया पर भी जम के विरोध हुआ। पर इन विरोधों का असर बोर्ड प्रमुख पर नहीं दिखा। वह अभी भी अपने आरोपों को ले के अड़े हैं, उनका कहना है कि,  ‘ मैंने जो सुना, वही कहा।’

बॉलीवुड के कई लोगों ने ऐलान किया की वे इस लड़ाई में अनुराग कश्यप के साथ खड़े है। इन सभी लोगों का दावा है कि पहलाज निहलानी ने इस फ़िल्म से उन सीनों को हटाना चाहते हैं, जो पंजाब और चुनाव की तरफ इशारा कर रही है। जिसके बाद फ़िल्म में कुल 89 कट लगाए गए हैं। निहलानी के इस कदम का फ़िल्म जगत में भारी विरोध हो रहा है। कई लोगों का मानना है कि इस तरह की हरकतें ना सिर्फ फ़िल्म का अपमान कर रही हैं, बल्कि यह ‘ फ़िल्म जगत’ का भी अपमान है। अपने गुस्से को ज़ाहिर करते हुए लोगों ने ना सिर्फ निहलानी से माफ़ी मांगने की मांग की है, बल्कि फ़िल्म रोकने का आरोप लगाते हुए उनके इस्तीफे की भी मांग की है।

इधर निहलानी ने इन सभी आरोपों को खारिज करते हुए कहा कि, ‘केंद्र कभी सेंसर बोर्ड के कामों में दखल नहीं देती। इस तरह को कोई राजनैतिक दबाव नहीं था।’
निहलानी ने आगे कहा, ‘जैसा की अनुराग कश्यप ने कहा की मैं मोदी का चमचा हूँ। हाँ, मुझे गर्व है की मैं मोदी का चमचा हूँ। ये किसी इटली के प्रधानमंत्री का चमचा होने से अच्छा है।’
पहलाज निहलानी ने इन बातों का भी खंडन किया की उन्होंने फ़िल्म निर्माताओं को फ़िल्म के नाम से पंजाब शब्द को हटाने की बात कही है। निहलानी ने इस बात को भी बताने से इंकार किया कि फ़िल्म के किन दृश्यों को हटाया गया है। पहलाज अपने फैसले पर टिके हुए हैं, उनका कहना है कि, ‘जब कोई पूरी फ़िल्म देखेगा तब उसे समझ आएगा की क्यों पंजाब शब्द हटाना चाहिए।’
