Surgical Strike by India

Does it really matter whether the #SurgicalStrike actually happened or not, or happened at a large scale? We are living in a time where old tactics of direct confrontations could be replaced by more passive means of fighting a war and we can defeat our enemy by suffocating them creating damaging environment around them without firing many bullets. This tactic, to me, seems to be more effective with minimum loss to our soldiers.
By disclosing Surgical Strike publicly, which used to be secret missions earlier, Modi government has, so far, been able to create that atmosphere against Pakistan. Pakistan is getting isolated in international community and its frustration is pushing it towards committing more and more mistakes which will further expose its true face to the world.
I am not sure if it is a well thought plan or happened by chance but it has worked for us so far. But if Pakistan attempts to tackle this move by denying it completely and seems to have persuaded Pakistanis and some of the international media and they start questioning India’s claims, it’s the duty of the government to further counter it. How the government has to further tackle it should be left to the government only; there could be numerous means to convince international media and releasing video of the Surgical Strike is not the only option which many of us unnecessarily deduce.
Kejriwal and Congress have shown immaturity and hastiness by asking for government response immediately; their demands are right but the timing is completely wrong. They should have waited for the center to respond to the international media and Pakistan’s claims and should have raised concerns if the center does not address it in 10-15 days. Even we, common men, should raise this point to the government if it does not counter International Media’s misapprehensions and Pakistan’s claims by sufficient time. That will only mean we being concerned about India's image in international media and not having any doubt on capabilities of Indian Army.
Also, it’s the duty of the central government to get opposition parties in confidence and make them aware of the approach being adopted in such cases. The ever widening communication gap between the center and opposition parties is the cause of these unintelligent altercations which are benefiting Pakistan.
The new strategy against Pakistan worked so far; now the big concern should be how to tackle the next fidayeen attacks by Pakistan which will surely be tried. I am sure Indian Army is fully equipped in and developing new strategies of tackling that too.
