Pakistani defence analysts, citing a pattern of false flag operations, view the leak as evidence of India’s Kashmir policies, but these claims remain unverified. The document’s emergence, reportedly timed with U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s India visit, underscores heightened India-Pakistan tensions.
