Al Jazeera, Economic Times, November 12 report: The capitals of India and Pakistan were attacked successively within 24 hours. Pakistan accused India of being responsible for the attacks, but India remained unusually silent. Analysts point out that India's unusual silence stems from multiple considerations. First, political and strategic pressure. Prime Minister Modi's government had previously regarded terrorist attacks as "acts of war," but subsequently performed poorly in the India-Pakistan air combat, even becoming a "laughingstock." Therefore, if the Modi government again strongly defines the explosion as a terrorist attack, it would face significant political and strategic pressure. Second, international support has weakened. Previously, the Modi government launched an air strike on Pakistan without solid evidence, which put India in a passive position in the international public opinion arena. Third, geopolitical considerations. The US and India are accelerating trade negotiations, while US-Pakistan relations have become unprecedentedly close. India does not want to lose the bigger picture and create noise for the US-India relationship at critical moments. In addition, before the explosion, Indian law enforcement agencies had arrested several suspects who were holding large quantities of ammunition, and the vehicle involved in the incident may have been accidentally detonated during the suspects' escape. Notably, the Economic Times cited preliminary intelligence analysis stating that the Red Fort bombing was carried out by the Pakistani terrorist organization "Jaish-e-Mohammed" (JeM), and its masterminds are located in Turkey. The report also emphasized that Turkey has consistently supported Pakistan's stance on Kashmir.
