WHY #PAKISTAN NEEDS CANTONMENTS?

In this thread, we'll explore the reasons behind the establishment & dispersal of #Army #cantts throughout the country. Image
1. #India has long desired to target Pakistan's strategically located cantonments, which are critical for the country's defense. However, due to Pakistan's well-planned cantonments, Indian attempts of harming Pakistan were stopped in their tracks. Image
2. Now, the social media negativity is being used to peddal the age-old Indian desire of shaking this stalemate, albeit using PTI social media machine. Old wine in New packaging.

Remembering #AllamaIqbal on his 85th Death Anniversary. His vision for Muslims & Pakistan, to date, serves as a timeless guide for us.

1. Complain ye not of heart unkind! Nor speak of tyranny! When Love no bondage knows, Why should Beauty not be free?

Each stack and barn it sets on fire, This lightning-like New Age, Nor howling wild nor garden gay Escapes its flaming rage; Image
2. This new fire feeds on fuel old,— The nations of the past, And they too burn to whom was sent God’s Messenger, the last.

But if the faith of Abraham There, once again, is born, Where leaps this flame, flowers will bloom, And laugh its blaze to scorn.

Another political stunt by #BJP - In a dubious attempt to divert media attention from the internal chaos that engulfs India - India media, in alliance with BJP, deceitfully turned an incident of a natural calamity into a terrorists attack. ImageImage
According to initial credible media reports, and as declared by @rajnathsingh himself, 5 Indian soldiers had died after a truck caught fire due to lightning strike in #PoonchDistrict, #IIOJK. However, the incident is, now, being painted as a Terrorist attack.
Such political stratgems by Modi's govt are meant to gain relevance & divert attention from the serious issues concerning India: governance issues, stagflation, unrest in Punjab, secession referendum in Manipur, and furthermore, #Pakistan's decision to participate in SCO moot.
