Just days after Omar Abdullah was sworn in as the first Chief Minister of the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir on October 16, the region's situation reflects growing unease within the Pakistani establishment, as the UT witnesses a spate of targeted killings with the biggest one on October 20 when terrorists stormed a tunnel construction site, shooting six migrant workers and a Kashmiri doctor. On October 15, External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar arrived in Islamabad for the SCO summit. During this historic visit, he was spotted shaking hands with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and engaging in conversation with his counterpart. The last-minute change in seating arrangements, placing both ministers next to each other, garnered significant media attention in both, India and Pakistan. Despite the romanticisation and the renewal of relations, even if it is in the domain of cricket, it seems that the Pakistani deep state hasn't been able to digest the fact that the people of Jammu Kashmir have chosen peace and democracy.
Consequently, Pakistan continues to support terror proxies that perpetuate violence in the region.
