Pakistan's already fragile economy has now completely collapsed. Following India's two-day Operation Sindoor, the situation has deteriorated to the extent that Pakistan has once again been compelled to approach the international community for assistance.

In response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India conducted a stringent military operation, exposing Pakistan's support for terrorism and its economic destitution.

After Operation Sindoor, the Pakistani government issued a statement via its official Twitter handle, appealing to international partners for increased loans. The statement reads:

“The government of Pakistan has appealed to international partners for additional loans following significant losses inflicted by the enemy. Considering the escalating war tensions and a sharp decline in the domestic stock market, we urge the global community to assist in de-escalating tensions. Citizens are also urged to maintain patience and unity.”

This statement not only highlights the economic crisis but also underscores Pakistan's complete dependence on external aid.

Pakistan appeals for international help

This situation is not new for Pakistan. For years, its economy has relied on assistance from China, the United States, Turkey, and Gulf countries. Despite this, Pakistan dared to initiate a war with India, fully aware that even a hint of conflict would devastate its already fragile economy.

The stringent military response from India and the limited damage inflicted during Operation Sindoor have forced Pakistan to seek international sympathy and economic aid under the guise of war.

Pakistan is already subject to numerous international sanctions due to its support for terrorists, money laundering, and high-level corruption. Even after exiting the FATF's grey list, Pakistan still lacks trust from the global community, and this trust may be one-sided.

Economic experts believe that Pakistan's situation is sustained by 'artificial breathing.' Whether under Imran Khan's government or the current leadership, both have prioritized seeking foreign aid over implementing economic reforms.

India's policy is now clear—zero tolerance towards terrorism. In response to the infiltration of terrorists sent by Pakistan, Operation Sindoor demonstrated that India will not limit itself to strong condemnation or dossiers but will take concrete action on the ground.

Now that Pakistan has acknowledged the severity of its situation and is pleading for help on international platforms, the question arises: where will Pakistan's policy of terrorism and provocative war politics ultimately lead?

This neighboring country, which once spoke of war against India, now trembles at the mere hint of conflict and stands with outstretched hands. These circumstances serve as a warning not only to Pakistan but also as a lesson to all countries that consider terrorism a tool of foreign policy.
