india has carried out a massive air strike on 9 terrorist hideouts in pakistan and pakistan occupied kashmir on the intervening night of Tuesday-Wednesday. After this, Pakistan's attitude seems to be softening. After this attack, Pakistan's Defense minister Khawaja Asif has said in an interview that if india stops its operation on the border, then pakistan is also ready not to take any further action. Today, through this news, we are going to tell you reasons, keeping in mind which pakistan will think ten times before clashing with India.
No one can match the indian Army
india believes in doing, not just saying. Taking care of the security of its country's borders and citizens, india emphasizes on strengthening the defense sector. We are not saying this, but a recent report by Swedish think tank Stockholm international Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) revealed that india is at number five in the world in terms of spending on the army.
In 2024, india increased its expenditure by 1.6% and spent a total of $86.1 billion (about Rs 7,32,453 crore) on the defense sector, while in comparison, Pakistan's expenditure on its army was only $10.2 billion (about Rs 2,85,397 crore Pakistani rupees).
Pakistan's crumbling economy
india and pakistan have completed 75 years of independence, but today there is a huge difference in their economic condition. pakistan, which is going through poverty, had a GDP of $374 billion in the year 2024. At the same time, India's GDP is estimated to be $4.3 trillion. According to a new data from the IMF, india will become the fourth largest economy by 2025, leaving behind a country like Japan. Currently, india is the fifth largest economy in the world. Countries like America, China, germany and japan are ahead of India. In such a situation, it is clear that india is far ahead of pakistan on the economic front as well.
Not getting help in trouble
Amidst tension with india, pakistan has appealed to the international Monetary Fund (IMF) for financial help, but a decision on this is yet to be taken on May 9. During this, a review meeting will be held on the $ 1.3 billion (about Rs 11,000 crore) to be given to pakistan under the Climate Resilience Loan Program. Apart from this, the second installment of $ 7 billion (Rs 59,000 crore) to be given to pakistan under the bailout package is also to be reviewed.
