escalated, but Prime Minister Imran Khan returned the pilot to India, in what was seen as a good-shall gesture, called for speechs and
promised an investigation into the bombing.It added that India prime minister, Narendra Modi, is waging a tough re-election campaign in
which he has used anti-Pakistan speech to fuel Hindu nationalism.It was also mentioned that the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations
