It was apprehended from day when Prime Minister Narendra Modi mad extraordinary gesture by landing at Lahore on his way back to India at simple request of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Shariff. The visit was applauded by world leaders including the US President Barak Obama as it signaled the resumption of talk between India and Pakistan on issues of terrorism and host of other issues. It was no appreciated by the rogue elements in Pakistan Army. And it took a few days for the forces opposed to peace with India in Pakistan to strike at our defence establishment. Pathankot base of the Indian Air Force which is strategically important and is a forward area air force station was made the target. That the fidayeen terrorists were able to breach security of the Pathankot Air Force Base clearly indicates that the terror outfit Jaish-e-Muhammad alone is not capable of executing this kind of mission. The terrorists were trained by the Pakistani Army and the handlers were the notorious ISI- Inter-Services-Intelligence of Pakistan.
Such operation by Pakistani Terror group cannot be planned and executed in few days. The training and planning must have been started months back. That the ISI chose to time the attack on January 2, 2016 was to derail the resumption of peace process between the two countries.
We at home have few lessons to learn from this attack. First that the security of our defence establishments has be strengthened not only in terms of man power and weaponry but also in terms of latest electronic gadgets for surveillance of our defence establishments including air force and army stations. The Defence Ministry has already instituted inquiry and a review of our security system has begun in the right earnest.
Another area of concern is the situation in the border state of Punjab which has witnessed ilfitrations by Pakistani terrorists through Punjab. The state needs special attention. Both the Centre and the State Government have to sit together and work for identifying elements who may be providing logistic support to the terrorists from across the border.
I deeply mourn the martyrdom of our security personnel who laid their lives while fighting the intruding terrorists at Pathankot.

yes we all are deeply mourn the martyrdom of our security personnel who laid their lives while fighting the intruding terrorists at Pathankot.But the main problem is not that pakistan is sponsoring terrorist but those terrorists are killing our innocent citizens and valuable loss of life of brave security personnels which can be terminated if we act not only diplomatically but also aggressively.... I only know that "OFFENCE is the Best DEFENCE" .....LET MODIJI BECOME OFFENSIVE AND LET THE Defence forces to repeat myanmar like revenge against the terrorist groups supported by Pakistani army and ISI & then only pakistan would understand what is the meaning of peace... they are repeating again and again because they know that Indian Defence forces will not retaliate due to lack of political will and orders... Its worth mentioning that No Security is 100% foolproof , there always exist a chances of breach and which was utilized by pakistan trained terrorist with support of Pakistani army and hitech. technology.....so we have to be offensive and diplomatic on every front...AND ONCE AGAIN I repeat, "OFFENCE IS THE BEST DEFENCE" ...JAI HIND....

As Indian, i want to see strong action...which give message of zero tolerance against terrorism. Always, we need to prove our strength and power.
ReplyDeleteI am still hopeful that our defence system give reply with zero causality and within time frame.
Our history of losing life of soldiers and citizens in terror war is not impressing me.

Anyway, still did not hear in news if anyone returning back awards . . .
