Comment I have not reviewed the source material enough to express an opinion here I do want to state that far too many of the opinions expressed above appear to be relying on personal knowledge and or stating what is obvious from some assumed intent Such analysis is incorrect All we do is to reflect reliable secondary sources on the subject In this case news media in both these countries probably do not qualify and I am uncertain about scholarly sources from these countries too The best method is probably to check what assessments are in reliable sources from outside South Asia FWIW I would probably support something like Pakistani withdrawal return to status quo but I need to glance at the sources again before that
