Pakistan : Brace Yourselves

The dastardly attack on CRPF convoy at Pulwama which martyred 40 personnel has closed the door for any resumption of peace talks with Pakistan which many Aman Ki Asha brigades were advocating after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan declared his intention of creating Kartarpur Corridor.

The same Imran Khan who was saying he was ready to walk extra mile for peace with India has not condemned or spoke a word on Pulwama.

The biggest culprit here is China which has cunningly remained silent and not condemned the attack when all the major countries have done.It is the same China which blocked India's bid not once,twice but three times when India tried to get JEM chief Masood Azar designated as global terrorist at United Nations.

Though we have suffered a tremendous blow with casualties and moral,this Pulwama attack has given us one more golden opportunity to reverse our past mistakes on negotiation table some of which is still damaging us.The Haji Pir pass which was captured in 1965 was foolishly returned to Pakistan.The same Haji Pir pass today gives Pakistan an edge when it comes to terrain.This same terrain advantage was reportedly used by the terrorist when they attacked Indian Army camp in URI in 2016.

The scale of attack at Pulwama attack has made Military action inevitable.Pakistan's deep state  has for the first time failed in it's timing of attack.Pakistani's have always mastered the art of initiation but  faltered whenever India retaliated.The fact that Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan Ajay Bisaria who arrived in Delhi on Saturday mentioned to media while leaving MEA office that he will be in Delhi for many days  is a sure sign of indication of a massive retaliation in works.Also the fact that the country will be going to General election in three months and the public declaration by PM Modi that he has given free hand to retaliate to avenge Pulwama leaves no doubt that retaliation against Pakistan will be massive and symbolic also.

Already there are media reports that Pakistan has already shifted terrorist from Launch Pads near LOC.People advocating that had it been Israel they would have taken instant retaliation forget the fact that India's geopolitical location is totally different from that of Israel.Not only the LOC is heavily mined on both sides.Yesterday we lost a young Major Chitresh Bisht who was diffusing an IED planted by enemies in Rajouri.Also our airspace has heavy commercial traffice and most of the flights flying west from Delhi fly over Pakistan Airspace.Once Air power is unleashed our airlines will have to take detour like the way they did when Pakistan airspace was blocked after Parliament attack when war clouds were looming large.We cannot afford to have incidents like the accidental attack on commercial airlines like the one Malaysian Airlines plane which was mistaken for Ukraine Military plane by Russians at the height of their hostilities.Hence we cannot compare Israel response when faced in such situations to that of India's response. There is no doubt that retaliation will be taken but like last time it should not be a one off operation.Time and again we have given concession to Pakistan on negotiation table only to get stabbed in the back.With the present state of Air-Force we cannot sustain longer duration of intense war.However even today our Air-Force has edge over Pakistan and in all likelihood air power will be utilised.The retaliation when it comes will be massive and will force Pakistan to come to negotiation table.Let's hope Modi government does not repeat the mistakes the previous governments did where the squandered away all the tactical Military gains achieved through blood and sweat in the hope that Pakistan will mend it's ways.

Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

Retaliation will be taken.Deaths of our soldiers will be avenged,it is only a matter of time.
Jai Hind.Long live Sacred India.
