So why haven't they tried to do that all these years?why risk infiltration through Kashmir?
Last I checked, Mumbai is in Maharashtra and Pathankot in Punjab not to mention the dozens of other places random bombs went off in public places over a span of 2+ decades. And I haven't even brought up the Punjab terrorism of the 80's & 90's here.
Or maybe you are underestimating greed. No dedicated smuggler will risk anything related to terrorism, if anything they are best informers in such cases.
May I introduce you to Dawood Ibrahim & D company. Babloo Srivastav and scores of others who attached their ship to him.
I think you're arguing for the sake of it.
He is the best example, what happened after he helped in 1992 bombings? He spent life running, hiding with his whole gang became priority number one to be eliminated. Brother, family, property all harassed and seized.
He set the example why not to do it.
Exactly they have already done it right , so hows anything different now? anyways terrorists attack in Indian cities wont give Pak anything. Instead our legitimacy as victim of Pak sponsored terrorism amplifies.
Imagine a bomb goes off in any city now, all the attention will shift from Kashmir to Pak terrorism. India will get sympathy and backers for its steps
These guys have hit their death knell. Now Govt will go ahead and give contracts to private sector to produce ammo. Kalyani is already making the outer shells for 155mm.
According to what I heard our DM has categorically denied any plans to corporatise the OFBs. He said that we will make them PSUs instead. Then why these guys are on strike?
My larger point was something else. It's our response to these outrages that matter. Balakote was exceptional. Not the norm and personally speaking it was a job half done. But something is better than nothing. For too long has our pussilanimity been couched and sold as strategic restraint with the standard response being somewhat worded as your post. We've reached the end game now or at least the beginning of the end game. They will strike out in the only way they know. Thru proxies. It's for us to take advantage of it and deal the death blow. Assuming the government of the day shares the same view else we'd be back to different versions of Balakote for some time to come.
It's called not being Pro active for your security and engaging in corruption.
Yeah, it's corporatisation, not privatisation. But people need a reason to not work for obvious reasons.
Bro.. Though I agree with your concern, I do not think it will be wise for India to jump into any sudden escalation. You must have heard about the frog in the boiling water example. So let's cook Pakistan slowly by increasing the heat incrementally. Any big escalation will attract undue attention from international community and Pakistan precisely wants that. Rather keep bleeding them by continuous engagement at LoC and in case they go for another Pulwama, hit them really hard. I do not think Balakot is an exception, it's the new norm. Next reaction will be massive. Not because Mr Modi wants it, but because people of India want it. He has set the bar high and will be forced to fulfill people's expectation.
Yes... Shut the ones which are functioning just to provide employment to these lazy asses..
Fragmented Pakistan - packaged like instant noodles. Just open in a pot of boiling water and add the taste maker.
Guys - the only option for quick results depended on Pakistan cooperating. That did not happen. Now we have to wait for an opportunity. Doing some thing rash is what Pakistan wants from us.
