Defuse tension, but prepare to face any eventuality

Hafeez Sayeed, LeT boss and mastermind of 26/11 Mumbai attack, had reportedly visited the LoC four days back and delivered religious sermons about Jehad against India to the Pakistani soldiers. It is a serious concern for India but he will do it as usual. It is our responsibility how befitting reply we give to them instantly whenever we are provoked from across the border. Indian military unit jawans must be instructed that whenever the ceasefire violation is committed from across the border, they must give reply with doubly force instantaneously. It is the practice of Pakistan to always be in denial mode. After every mischief committed by its military at LoC, the civilian government of that country come forward in its defence. Because the military, ISI and jehadi elements reign supreme in Pakistan. No civilian government since its inception ever asserted to establish democratic value and the dominance of civil society there. Whenever it did, it faced a stiff opposition from its military establishment and at last either it had to bow down before their pressure or be thrown out of power by staging military coup. As far as the anti-India sentiment is concerned, Pakistan is based on it. The security of the Indian soldiers must be of prime concern for India. It must not always approach Pakistan with conciliatory stance even after its soldiers are butchered in the cruelest way. The Indian jawans deputed on the border to protect the nation are burning with the fire of revenge against the Pakistani soldiers who killed two jawans from among them and mutilated their bodies. One of the jawans was also beheaded and it has been reported that there was joyous over this dastardly act across the border. Indian military officers have a tough time on the border to pacify their infuriated jawans. They are seething in anger to take revenge of the beheading of their jawans by Pakistani soldiers. So, the Government of India must provide full proof security to the jawans posted on the border because border skirmishes have become routine affairs with Pakistan. So, why do Indian soldiers not move forward with full preparedness so that they could suffer no casualty? The heightened tension on the border must be defused but if the situation goes beyond control due to the notoriety of Pakistan, Indian soldiers must be allowed to retaliate any firing from across the border. An uneasy calm prevailed on the Line of Control (LoC) and no new violation of the ceasefire was reported. The Indian Army rightly called for a Brigadier-level flag meeting to resolve the escalation of tensions after Pakistani army regulars brutally killed two Indian soldiers in the Mendhar sector. But it is the highhandedness of Pakistan to summon the Indian High Commissioner to protest against the killing of a Pakistani army soldier in cross-border firing, though India refutes the charge.
