The devastating terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, has shaken not only India but also sent shockwaves across Pakistan’s power corridors. As India mourns the loss of innocent lives and prepares for a strategic response, unexpected developments are unfolding across the border that have raised global eyebrows.
Mass Panic in Pakistan’s Military Ranks
Sources reveal that a growing sense of fear and urgency has engulfed Pakistan’s military leadership following India’s strong diplomatic and military signals post the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam attack. Several high-ranking Pakistani military officers have reportedly begun sending their families abroad, fearing a full-scale conflict with India.
Pakistan Army Chief Sends Family Abroad
According to intelligence reports and Pakistani media outlets, General Asim Munir, Pakistan’s current Army Chief, has already sent his family overseas, allegedly to a safe location in Europe. This move, though unconfirmed officially, has triggered a wave of panic and speculation within the country.
Pakistani media itself is stunned by this development. One commentator stated,
“When the country’s top general begins securing his family abroad, the message is clear: even those in power are fearing the worst.”
Mass Exodus of Military Families: UK and US Preferred Destinations
Insiders claim that many senior Pakistani Army officers have followed suit. Families have been flown out via private jets to countries such as Britain and the United States (New Jersey). Some have reportedly gone to Dubai and Canada as well. The timing of this mass movement has sparked questions about the mental preparedness of the Pakistan Army in facing any major retaliation from India.
India’s Silent Yet Strategic Posture Fuels Anxiety
India has not rushed into a response, and that very delay has unnerved Pakistani officials. As per Pakistani news outlets, the Indian government’s silence post-Pahalgam is seen as a sign of an upcoming major operation or strike. The belief is growing stronger that India is planning something big, and that fear is clearly reflected in the actions of Pakistan’s top brass.
Soldiers Want to Resign, Morale Hits Rock Bottom
In a surprising twist, around 5000 soldiers of the Pakistan Army have allegedly expressed their desire to resign, citing fear of war and a lack of faith in leadership. Some have already started abandoning their posts discreetly.
“When our leaders are fleeing, why should we stay back to die?” – A comment allegedly circulating in internal army groups, as per sources.
Pakistani Media Raises Alarms: “Elites Will Escape, Poor Will Suffer”
Prominent anchors and journalists in Pakistan are voicing their frustration over how corrupt leaders and army officials, with homes in London, Dubai, and the US, are planning to escape and leave the common citizens behind. They emphasize that:
-
Most of the high-ranking elites have hidden wealth abroad
-
They possess dual citizenships or foreign residency
-
Only the poor will face the brunt of any potential conflict
India’s Next Move: A Global Waiting Game
While the Indian government has remained tight-lipped, global intelligence agencies and international media are closely watching the situation. Analysts suggest that any major retaliation from India will have far-reaching consequences, not just militarily but also politically across South Asia.
Conclusion: A Region on the Edge
The Pahalgam terror attack has not only taken innocent lives but also ignited a diplomatic and military chain reaction. The visible fear in Pakistan’s military leadership, evident from their frantic efforts to send families abroad, paints a grim picture of what could lie ahead.
