No. I think the reason is more complex.

It was my understanding that whenever India launches a complex space mission, the media in Pakistan covers it and they start asking uncomfortable questions about why Pakistan is lagging behind.
But if you launch the Nasr or any other missile, the media gets diverted to cover it. The talk shows start focusing on how this will protect Pakistan and defeat any 'evil intentions' India might have.
The less aware of the people will think that Nasr was an effective tit-for-tat response to India firing a rocket. 'Pakistan nay jawab diya'
Basically, it will keep the Pakistani populace occupied and less aware.
So Nasr serves as a great tool for the establishment in more ways than one.
