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.
