India’s relations with Pakistan are far more complicated than those that we have with Myanmar and consequently, it seems unreasonable to expect that there will be any official response. The Army has maintained a silence on the subject, which, in the august tradition of military interactions with the civilian public, means that they have neither confirmed nor denied the episode. Meanwhile, in less than 24 hours, The Quint’s story, unverified as it may be, has had more than five lakh views and has been shared enthusiastically by supporters of various political hues. That’s a reality that can’t be contested.
