same here.. however, they theorized that bombing an empty area with no causalities will probably not create an argument for strikes given how weak Pakistan was(historically bad)..we were short of 30 billion dollars of financing (due to over runaway project 24b CAD alone) and were at verge of default..Yes but at that time objective was to win the election and not to start war with Pakistan otherwise they would have gone for missile strikes.
I cant buy that they didnt consider we striking back. Just consider if we didn't had abhinandan the Indian propaganda machine would have been doing telling the whole world that not only they taken down the terrorist but also a pakistani aircraft.
No one the reality this is all speculation however, one thing is for sure Indians are not stupid enough to think that we would not strike back given NS wasnt in power.
hence even i thought we will not respond
