Government needs a PR overhaul

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Government of India has lost the perception battle in people's mind following Government announcement of its willingness to defer the implementation for 18 months as the protest now spanning months around Delhi border is not showing signs of subsiding. Like every reforms in past has faced opposition the 3 new farm laws passed by Parliament is being opposed vociferously by farmer unions particularly those belonging to Punjab earlier now supported by Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) led by now the face of the protest -Rakesh Tikait-  a Delhi Police constable-turned-farmer leader following in the footsteps of his father - Mahendra Singh Tikait whose rally at Delhi's Boat Club lawns in 1988 forced the erstwhile Rajiv Gandhi led Union Government to accept the union demands. 


Just like how liberalisation reforms where vehemently opposed then by the erstwhile so called Bombay Club led by the erstwhile Industrial stalwarts who had their wealth grown exponentially as they were the benefactors of the erstwhile License Raj system which these groups had ensured remain till 1991 through lobbying similarly the recently 3 Farm Laws allowing farmers to sell their produce anywhere in the country outside APMC markets passed by the parliament are being opposed by farm unions who are brainwashing farmers in creating a theory that government will in few years remove the MSP provision. In the initial days of protest the farm union demands included amending the laws passed by including the sovereign guarantee of MSP provision and it will not be discontinued. Initially Government had golden opportunity to end the protest to accept this demand but the government stuborness added more fuel to the raging fire .This led to farmers now calling for rollback of farm laws.


There is no doubt that the recently passed 3 farm laws are in interest of farmers as existing MSP provision is not discontinued and in fact they are getting additional options to sell their produce. However the present quagmire that Government and now the farm unions are also stuck in following 26 th January Delhi rampage including storming of Red -Fort has come to a situation who will blink first and willing to accept defeat in public perception.


The ruckus of 26th January has diminished the public sympathy which was generated towards farmers as they were camping in winter and as given the Government a face saving exit option. To tackle the brainwashing of farmers in the states of Punjab, Haryana and Western UP , Government needs to involve the stalwarts of all walks of life and show the protesting farmers the advantages of the 3 farm laws. So far Government has not been able to convince the protesting farmers that MSP will continue and not removed in coming years as being spread by farm union leaders.


The present mess which the Government itself finds is classic example how despite having good intention and good governance is not enough until you have a good PR. To tackle brainwashing of farmers by vested interest. Government so far seems to have failed miserably in handling the PR by taking on those who are spreading false fears. The 3 farm laws will end the monopoly of the APMC markets in the districts who were till now monopoly customer. Till now APMC traders were controlling the prices by forming cartels among his peers and the poor farmers till now were being taken for ride because he had no option but to sell at the price willing to be paid by APMC traders as most of the farm produce used to be perishable. All these years the farmer was being taken for ride. The new 3 Farm laws will give the same farmer option to sell his produce elsewhere to any private trader at a price acceptable to both. Earlier the farmer was forced to sell only at designated APMC Markets.


Government strategy of playing waiting game to ensure fatigue creeks in the protest seems to have backfired as the protestors are led by vested interest who have amassed enormous wealth all these years by looting the poor farmers can keep on the protest for many more months.


Government needs to amend laws by ensuring the sovereign guarantee of MSP continuence in text. Also selling and buying farm produce below MSP should be made a crime and stringent punishible terms should be included in the amended laws and above all Government today need its maverick leaders who are mass leaders to hit the street and take on brainwashing of farmers by vested interest head-on. So far not one major BJP leader has hit the streets amassing support for the 3 farm laws.


The recent concretisation of barrricades at Gazipur border which included creating a minefield of nails has done a big damage to government's image and it should be removed because its wrong morally.  Damage is already done. So far PM Narendra Modi has not got directly involved in negotiations between farm unions and government which is being handled by his Agricultural Minister. Perhaps the time has come for PM Modi and big leaders of BJP to get directly involved and ensure the 3 farm laws are enforced and accepted by farmers to take on the opposition not only in Parliament but also on streets.

Above all Government needs a major PR Overhaul and a face to take on those who are brainwashing the poor farmers with false fears. Good Intention and  good governance are not enough .You need a maverick leader to make the rebel believe in you. Unless they hit the streets and convince the protesting farmers the benefits of the farm laws it will cause serious dent to Government's image as anti-farmer despite the 3 farm laws being pro-farmers law.This government is failing at only one point and that's PR-Public Relations.

We have been looted yet again

Every year 26th July our country pays tributes to our 527 martyrs who attained martyrdom in Kargil War with pride in our hearts and prayer on our lips. But have we learnt from Kargil War where like everytime we were caught with our pants down??The recent emergency panic purchase exposes our vulnerability yet again.

Each and every conflict India had since 1947 has showed that we have always lacked critical military hardware and ammunition and have always resorted to panic buying when enemy is at gates.Indian soldiers throughout the world have been praised for their fighting skills even earning respect from most racist armies-Aussies at Gallipoli. Many Australian diaries and letters feature references to Indian soldiers. History is full of examples where we have snatched victories from the jaws of death.Read "Slender was the thread-Brig L.P.Sen" to understand how we saved Srinagar and would have easily captured Muzaffarabad and rest of POK had it not been for British masters then who were still in command despite India gaining Independence.British officers engineered and halted our troops forward movement from URI.They never wanted India to share borders with Afghanistan because British policy makers never wanted a scenario of Soviet Union standing on Indian borders in order to contain reach and hegemony of Soviet Union in the future. How far sighted Britishers were. If POK was captured by India then we would have shared borders with Afghanistan and Britishers in 1940s had realised Soviet Union would one day will set foot in Afghanistan which they indeed did in 30 years later in 1978.

There is also an apocryphal story behind British intention behind engineering partition of India was infact the same reason - premonition of Soviet Union on the Afghan border-The Durand Line.

Soviet Union intervention in Afghanistan failed because the Western allies USA & Britishers gave safe heaven and funded and directed Afghan resistance-the Mujahideen from across this Durand Line.If India was not partitioned in 1947 then in all probability Soviet Union would have succeeded in its Afghan intervention and probably not collapsed in 1991.


The reason why i have mentioned this above is all countries which today have a weightage in world affairs always had a Security strategy aka National Security Policy thinking abt 35-50 years ahead unlike we Indians whose political masters have squandered away territorial gains achieved in battlefield in the negotiation table.For example Lal Bahadur Shastri's decision of handing back Haji Pir Pass back to Pakistan.Till today we are rueing this foolish decision as Pakistan's lion share of terrorist infiltration comes from the same Haji Pir Pass. Our policy makers decision at the time of crisis reflect that we have never sensed National Security from 35-50 years perspective.We need to learn a lot from British.

Most of our foolish decisions of political masters comes from the fact that Military top brass recommendation are often overruled by the IAS lobby.IAS lobby has always ensured our armed forces are under-armed they have ensured there is a fear psychosis in ruling political class that only way to ensure there is no coup in India is to keep our armed forces under-armed.Also incidents in past such as Operation Brasstacks when many things were hidden from PM by then COAS General Sundarji as well as the apocryphal story of COAS General V K Singh ordering a brigade towards Delhi at the height of his public verbal tussle with erstwhile GOI was utilised to the fullest by IAS lobby to keep the fear of impending coup in the minds of the ruling political class that if armed forces are given all their weapons requirements.

Because of this reason at every moment in our past when war clouds were looming and when enemy was at the gates we have seen news bulletins of Indian Government increasing budget and indulging in panic buying of critical spares and ammunations.

Take the example of India's decision to equip it's new Rafale Fighter jets which are already coming with deadly weapons package with "HAMMER" Air-to-Ground precision munitions from France. Infact Israel's SPICE-2000  had edged out the HAMMER in an IAF competition to arm the Mirage in 2012 mainly because French Hammer was costing almost double that of Israel's SPICE-2000.Since Integrating SPICE-2000 with Rafale would have taken time the decision of IAF to go for expensive HAMMER exposes our lack of modern weapon system.

It was because of our obsolete military hardware we failed to punish Pakistan Air -Force post Operation Swift Retort which exposed our fighter pilots were cut off the communication circuit with ground controllers as Pakistan's AWACS had electronically jammed our fighter jets communication with ground controllers.It was because of this Wing Commander Abhinandan didnt recieve the warning and direction of ground controller to go cold and not enter Pakistan's Air Space.

The recent decision to acquire Light tanks under emergency purchase procurement exposes the vulnerability of the heavy T-90's Tanks in the higher altitudes in Ladhakh. Today when we are celebrating Kargil Vijay Diwas lets not forget it was Kargil Review Committee which had recommended creation of a post of CDS who would be first among the Generals in order for better synchronization among our three armed services which was found wanting in the same Kargil war.It was formulated only on 24 December 2019 almost 20 years after Kargil Review Committee had recommended it.

Also Kargil War had exposed our survelliance capability.The present day Chinese occupation of our territory again exposes our survelliance capabilities.Whether it was Kargil,URI surgical strike,Pulwama massacre or the present day tensions with Chinese we have always been found with our pants down when it comes to military equipments.

When any country buys weapons or ammo in panic they will never get the best price because they dont have the time to negotiate and the weapon supplier also knows this and we will be looted.

Until and unless we create a robust military industrial eco-system with active participation of Indian private companies and unless and until Military is given due importance in decision making of weapon acquisition instead of IAS lobby we will continued to get looted like in the past.

Betrayed Again!!!

It came as a surprise to everyone when after over four decades of saber-rattling and minor scuffles barring few like Doklam crisis, a border dispute between China and India has turned fatal.

We were surprised because we as a country have never learnt lessons from History.This Gandhi principles are bred in our blood since ages.It has been a part of our upbringing and  hence if we look at our history it is because of our lack of military sense and strategic vision that we have continuously shrunken in size.

Nehru didn't respond positively to feelers sent by US to have the UN Security Council permanent seat be given to India by pushing China out.US didn't want China to become member of UNSC because of its communist and soviet leanings. Nehru didn't want to antagonize the  mighty neighbour by going against it and he took several steps defending China like opposing UN resolutions branding China as an aggressor in the Korean war.China payed our friendship back with interest in 1962.

China in return has repeatedly blocked proposals at the United Nations to designate Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist in the same UNSC.

Before the ambush in which Chinese soldiers killed more than 20 Indian Army soldiers,Chinese had agreed to de-escalate 21 times in talks across 5 separate military rank levels & MEA level over 40 days.Its  the biggest betrayal modern warfare has seen in recent times.

Chinese President Xi Jinping is killing 2 birds with a single stone by escalating the ongoing standoff in Galwan Valley.1->He is desperate to divert his countrymen attention from Chinese leadership  complicity in Corona Virus spread.China being the mecca of manufacturing doesn't give 2 hoots to losing Indian markets for their companies.It has recently filled up its strategic oil reserves taking advantage of lowest crude oil price  ever, it has ensured them fuel worth  of 6 months even if India along with US  block off their oil supplies,80 % of which moves through Straits of Malacca.Just like Siliguri Corridor is our Chicken Neck ,Straits of Malacca is China's chokepoint.

Despite China operating a Naval base in Dijbouti on the Horn of Africa its base and Naval assets in Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea can be easily tackled if US comes in active support of ours should push comes to shove.

Our Negligent attitude towards procurement of arms will bring a heavy toll for us should situation spiral out of control.The recent incident of Nepal Border police firing and killing an unharmed Indian farmer and also Nepal PM's hostile moves by claiming several Indian villages on border as belonging to Nepal are all sinister designs of China.In few days we will come across similar border tensions along our Eastern neighbour -Bangladesh.

Pakistan Defence experts have always expressed openly their lost opportunity of Grabbing Kashmir during 1962 Sino -India War.Pakistan through its proxies in all likelihood create some mischief like the URI massacre or maybe A Pulwama Style attack.Pakistan has long been the surrogate child of China.

2->The second reason  of China's belligerent attitude and its itching for escalation is to make India look as a weak and unviable destination for foreign investors  who were planning to switch their manufacturing base to India from China in the wake of the geopolitical and economic repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic so as to reduce their dependency on China.

China wants India to escalate so that our economy already in tatters because of Chinese Virus takes a further hit.If we are unable to keep this border tension as sector specific like how we did with Pakistan in 1999 will have an adverse impact on our economy.

China  has always considered India to be a long term threat and the Chinese leadership wanted to deliver a major blow to India's political and military leadership.Our negligence to falling Indian Air Force squadron strength will hit us big if there is a full scale war which China wants.Our Defence capability has taken a huge hit ever since A K Anthony became Defense Minister.We may pay a heavy price for A K Anthony insistence of maintaining a clean image by not signing our critical defence needs.We couldn't hit back Pakistan when they carried out Operation Swift retort.I hope we dont come across such a scenario where we were handicapped by our obsolete Defence equipments.

By murdering  more than 20 of our men China has set us a trap.How we dodge this trap by exacting revenge and at the same time how we keep this tension localised and not get into full scale war will decide whether we survive this trap or not.

Have we really messed up??


     Recently,all of us came across several heart wrenching videos and pictures of daily wage earners exodus to their native state.One video in particular shows an exhausted child sleeping on bag being dragged by his mother.


All this videos and pictures proves one thing that we are still underdeveloped as a nation and not a developing nation as some ultra patriots self proclaim.Even i am coming across daily new faces who are never used to beg but forced by the harsh circumstances have resorted to begging for food or money in order to feed their loved ones.Its a bad bad situation on street and if government and local muncipal machinery doesn't find a solution to this we may see a spurt in street crimes being committed by people due to hunger.Many media both print and electronic are criticizing government for having failed and for having messed up the migrant daily wage earners issue.But have our government both centre and all state governments really messed up??

Though the scenes on streets are heart wrenching but I for one must honestly admit I have seen myself how government machinery and all government personnel whether its State Police Force or take for example Mumbai 's BEST employees braving the odds against the Chinese Virus.I have seen myself BEST staff distributing food in their new AC mini Bus which they have converted into food distribution vehicle.And in this process many BEST Employees have laid down their life. Every day BEST is running 1300 buses ferrying essential staff workers.

Likewise those who always harbor and portray negative image of police force should note so far six Mumbai Police personnel have succumbed to Chinese virus and more than 1000 police personnel in the state of Maharashtra alone have been infected with Chinese virus.Many people always portray negative image of Police but the same people do not appreciate the harsh work conditions these Policemen daily face in their career.There have been many instances where Police officers are conducting rituals of the Chinese Virus victims due to refusal to do so by victims family members



Yes there should be criticism on Government working if they are negligent or showing laxity in their attitude.There should be constructive criticism.Among the many families and migrant workers fleeing from their workplace due to no earnings there are many people like private security guards ,essential shop employees fleeing metropolis like Mumbai despite no paycut due to the fear that they will also catch up the Chinese Virus.I can say this because this incident happened in my neighbouring building.

Government had to take many pro-active measures which were seen by many public as harsh.But it was the question of choosing life over death.Life is like a game of Chess.If you give up you Lose, If you don’t make a move you Lose. Only way to live is keep moving and adapting to circumstances.Like in Chess ,In Life one must also take step backwards in order to survive.

Among the major states -Maharashtra is leading the fight against Chinese Virus.Today Maharashtra has the highest number of positive cases because Maharashtra has done the highest number of testing.Maharashtra ensured local train services were stopped in Mumbai something which has never happened before even during terror strikes.Remember 26/11 attacks local trains were running from CSMT station in less than 6 hours after the very iconic railway station had come under attack.Suburban rail services were stopped at the correct time in Mumbai otherwise each and every family in Mumbai Metropoliton Region  would have had positive Chinese Virus cases.No media house appreciated the harsh measures taken by government.Instead they have kept on criticizing government.

Yes there have been many mistakes on the part of government as well like if the migrant workers were given proper awarness of where they can avail themselves free food being distributed then such a huge exodus would have not happened.Also we cannot deny that the food distributed maybe inadequate in numbers but we should also accept the fact that none of us have experienced a crisis of such a huge magnitude.The fact that Muncipal authorities are using open spaces such as Wankhede Stadium  and Mahalaxmi racecourse using Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 -a colonial era act, all of 123 years old itself shows that there were no SOP in place.But its not government's fault.


In this fight against Chinese Virus each and every citizen of our country are soldiers.Yes the Government both Centre as well as all States may have messed up in some areas but they are not Guilty.We are in a state of war against Chinese-lab produced virus and history is full of examples where Mistakes have happened in every War.Its time to be united and not indulge in blame gaming.Its our duty to support our Centre and all States Government because we all are soldiers in this war against Chinese Virus.

India - The Biggest Victim In The Ongoing US-IRAN Tension

In 1998 as President Bill Clinton was facing an impeachment vote,he ordered airstrikes on Iraq which led to delay in voting of impeachment proceedings against him.It is widely believed that Clinton ordered the airstrikes to divert public attention from impeachment proceedings.Eventually Clinton was impeached but he still came out of it as he was acquitted in the Senate trial.

It is often said that History repeats itself .The killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani on 3rd January 2020 near Baghdad International Airport by American Drone Strike on the orders of Twitter Savvy US President Donald Trump who stated that General Qassem Soleimani was plotting attacks to hit American installation like military base and Embassy in the Middle East.He even blamed General  Soleimani for the attack on Israel Defence attache in Delhi Embassy which had taken place way back in 2012.Just like Iraq airstrikes during Clinton presidency the timing of  attack on General Qassem Soleimani  has certainly raised many eyebrows and very few people are taking in Trump defence of launching Drone Attack on Iranian General.

Just like Clinton tried to divert public attention from his impeachment proceedings,Trump is trying to shore up his image among his countrymen.President Trump is selling Old wine in new bottle.Trump though unlike Clinton is already impeached before Drone Strike,He awaits Senate Trial.He is trying to shore up his ratings among his country lawmakers as well with his domestic audience.

Unfortunately it is Iraq which bore the brunt in Clinton ordered Airstrikes in 1998 then and now in Trump ordered Drone Attack.Not to forget Iraq was invaded by Americans during George W Bush under false pretense of it hording Weapons of Mass Destruction.

It was none other than Donald Trump who had accused his predecessor Barak Obama will launch war on Iran to help him get re-elected as a President who knows how to take decisive decisions.

Despite not achieving its political objective in Afghanistan,Iraq and Syria,America under Trump is itching to take on another country.

In all this geo-political tensions it is India which is the biggest victim among all other countries in the region.

Till May 2019 India was one of the largest purchaser of crude oil second only to China from Iran.Iran was the only OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation-a group of around 57 countries)country ever come to India’s rescue on Kashmir as it blocked a resolution by other members of OIC to ask the UN Human Rights Council to sanction India.

Iran is the only Islamic country which has always stood in support for India in all International Bodies.Today with the increasing tensions between US And Iran has resulted in surging of crude oil prices,it will leave a big hole in India's economy which is already grappling with slowdown.The automobile industry already reeling under the impact of increasing capex for transitioning to BS-6 Complaint vehicles will be hit.Also biggest impact will be felt by aviation players.

On top of this Pakistan will emerge as an important ally  again to decision makers in Washington D.C. Just like how Pakistan soil was used as forward base for American troops after 9/11 to launch strikes in Afghanistan,Pakistan will cunningly make the most of it's location as Iran Neighbour and will welcome Americans with both arms to use their soil in return for funding which it desperately needs now as it's on the brink of  economic disaster.

This US-Iran tensions is like God sent gift to Pakistanis.Don't be surprised if you find that American assets used for attacking Iran should things escalate further from here were found to have taken off from Pakistan Air Force Bases.If there is a major escalation Pakistan will use this opportunity to create mischief on its eastern front with its arch enemy India as it knows America will turn blind eye since it needs Pakistan support in order to attack Iran.

In all scenarios it is India which will be the biggest victim.

Reversing Mistakes

Ever since Government of India abolished special privileges to residents of J&K given by Article 370 of our constitution it has been a Burnol moment for Pseudo Secular's and Anti Nationals. They have been making huge hue and cry stating that Indian Government has created a huge mistake.The same people were silent when our Kashmiri pandit's were killed.They chose to ignore when our Kashmiri Pandit mother's and sister's were raped and killed. Everyone opposing Government of India's move should read Our Moon has Blood Clots-written by Rahul Pandita.

These pseudo-secularist are even going to the extent of  projecting COAS Bipin Rawat with Colonel Reginald Dyer-the butcher of Amritsar.Take a look at the below pic which is the tweet of Prashant Kanojia whose twitter bio says he is ex-Indian Express and the Wire.When we have people like these we don't need enemies Like Pakistanis and Chinese.These people are more dangerous and can do more harm to our country.
There 


Fact is a mistake committed by the erstwhile Govt has been reversed by today's Government.

The bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir under which two Union Territories - Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh will also help for better administration in Ladakh which has been unfairly neglected by all Central governments all these years owing to kashmir disturbance draining up most of the resources alloted to state.

This Central Government led by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah is the most decisive government our country ever had.It is widely believed that the Defense forces top brass put pressure on Government to revoke the draconian Article 370.It was Now or Never.We are lucky to witness this historic moment and bold decision of Government.

This much was sure that this Government would abolish Article 370,The recent statement by POTUS Donal Trumph offering his services to resolve Kashmir dispute not once but twice may have accelerated Government of India's decision.As USA is looking desperately for face saving excuse to pull out it troops from Afghanistan and amid tensions with Iran,Pakistan has again gained centre-stage in America's Foreign Policy.America will in likelihood turn blind eye to any Pakistaan's misadventure like another Pulwama or another 26/11 type of attacks.If such a misadventure by Pakistan occurs Government this time will use the opportunity to redraw LOC in areas where we are at disadvantage like Haji Pir Pass which was captured by our forces in 1965 only to be squandered away in peace talks which followed.It was the same terrain which is a boon for Pakistan was used by terrorist when they attacked URI camp which led to killing of 19 of our brave men.

Time and again Government of India has gone out of the way to accomodate and bring full integration of brain-washed kashmiri's youth into mainstream but time and again Government has suffered for the appeasement.It was about time Government revoked Article 370.Today if special status which was granted to J&K has been withdrawn it's because of Kashmiri youth brazen challenge to the rule of the law.Our country has suffered a lot because of  Article 370.It was this blunder commited by then erstwhile government which made Kashmiri youth believe that it was they who call the shots in valley.The resultant price has been paid by our Soldiers from Army,CRPF and J&K Police -the best and bravest police force of our country.Too much blood has been given for a dispute which our country should have resolved much way back.We had a golden opportunity in 1971,2001 Parliament attack, post 26/11 attacks in 2008. 

Though Army says they are totally prepared to deal with any Pakistan's misadventure, Balakot Air strikes showed what Army couldn't achieve in Operation Parakram spread over 8 months was achieved by IAF in a single strike.The Operation Bandar as rumored to be name of mission of airstrikes at Balakot showed in today's warfare it's the Air Force which plays the most decisive factor.

The Generals at Rawalpindi GHQ are under immense pressure to get back at India and they will create some spectacular attacks leading to India's retaliation so that they can get world powers to excercise restraint and bring Kashmir dispute back in worlds focus.How India responds Militarily and diplomatically will make this Government's move of abolishing Article 370 either a success or failure.

We have still not avenged Pulwama

On 26th February 2019,the world woke up to news of airstrikes executed by Indian Air Force at 3 locations in Pakistan at Balakot,Chakothi and Muzaffarabad.

            After the dastardly attack at Pulwama on CRPF convoy Pakistan was anticipating retribution from India.Hence they had moved all their terrorist from launchpads and training camps close to LOC to deep inside Pakistan.What made this Strike different was though there was an airstrike in 2000 using Mirage-2000 Aircraft but even then our fighter jets had not crossed LOC.We crossed LOC after 1971 war  and striking Balakot which is around 65 kms from LOC in khyber pakhtunkhwa province.India had signaled Pakistan and to entire world that it was ready to escalate tensions with Pakistan to its defined level and had called Pakistan's nuclear bluff which it always threatens to use on India.The entire country which was calling and demanding for justice went euphoric.Pakistan as always declared the airstrikes didn't cause any infrastructure hit and Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor DG ISPR  even shared pics of an alleged damaged area caused by one of the bombs which failed to hit the target.The fact that PAF next day tried to cross LOC and target Rajouri Military HQ at broad daylight and also the fact that Pakistan has sealed the camp at Balakot and not allowed any media to visit the site itself shows that the bombs did hit the camp.But like every India -Pakistan skirmish,it is always Pakistan which has won the perception battle.Not only they have denied any infra hit at Jaba Top in Balakot  but they have also withheld the death of Wing Commander Shazaz Ud Din who was lynched by people of Nowshera when his F-16 was taken out by Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman who was flying in vintage MIG-21 Bison.The act of Swallowing important documents by WC Abhinandan when he realised he had landed in POK speaks volume of his courage and grit in face of adversity.It is because of officers and like Wing Commander Abhinandan our country has withstood the vicious attacks perpetrated,sponsored by Pakistan.
          Indian Foriegn Secretary Vijay Gokhale announced the air-strike in press conferance which ideally should have been announced by Military personnel like DGMO,or from IAF.When the videos of Wing Commander Abhinandan had become viral it was MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar who announced the details of PAF attempt to bomb Rajouri  Military HQ and about missing IAF pilot.This was done at 3.30 pm when the videos had gone viral around noon.All this while on the other side of border the media briefing was handled by Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor who undoubtedly has been the biggest liar in subcontinent in the past week.Pakistan has repeatedly denied India managed to hit Jaba Top camp at Balakot and the fact that India has not released any proof of the same has further helped Pakistan in making people and the world to believe that the Air strikes failed to hit their target.
     Pakistan has always won the perception battle against India.On the day Pakistan PM Imran khan announced in Pakistan assembly that he was releasing Wing Commander as a gesture of peace Donald Trumph who was in Hanoi for meeting North Korean supremo had indicated that very soon there will be good news from Subcontinent.This was 6 hours before Imran khan's announcement .This itself showed that Pakistan released Wing Commander from their captivity only because of American pressure.Pakistan's ISPR has brilliantly projected the entire repatraition process as their gesture of peace and have painted Imran khan as a statesman and have painted our PM Modi as war monger.
    Indian liberals have been heaping tons of praises for Imran Khan ignoring the fact that Imran Khan is nothing but a mascot who is being used by Pakistan Army as their democratic cover.More than Pakistan our stupidity is our biggest enemy.People who went euphoric as soon as India announced Air strike believing that we had avenged Pulwama by striking thier terror camp forget the fact that the Jaish -E-Mohammad Chief Maulana Masood Azhar is still alive.Though the airstrike at Balakot was a daring raid by IAF  and though we have inflicted casualties on enemy. We have still not avenged Pulwama.Because the casualties will be reinforced by none other than Maulana Masood Azhar by  brainwashing Pakistan's and kashmiris's youth.Attacks like Pulwama,Parliament,suicide bombing at J&K Assembly will be repeated unless and until we take out the terror masterminds like Maulana Masood Azhar,Hafeez Saeed and of course the ISI.
      Though Pakistan was able to de-escalate the situation because of capture of Wing Commander Abhinandan,we must praise the dominance IAF displayed.For 3 days no commercial airlines were flying over Pakistan.IAF Completely dominated the skies.Modi while speaking at India-Today conclave decalared had the previous government brought in Rafale the situation today would have been more favourable towards India.Let's hope we are able to sign 110 Aircraft deal sooner because it is a crime on our part for making officers like Wing Commander Abhinandan fly MIG-21 Bison in Combat Air Patrol when enemy has 4th Generation fighter jets.We can say that our country is in safe hands because it is protected and defended by officers like Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.And let's not forget the Maulana who ordered his men to attack CRPF convoy is Pulwama is still alive.The day we get him,only then we can proclaim we have avenged Pulwama attack.
