Former Air Vice Marshal, 5 other petitioners move SC against Centre's decision on Jammu & Kashmir

Former Air Vice Marshal, 5 other petitioners move SC against Centre's decision on Jammu & Kashmir

Time to dig out dirt on these rotten eggs. Part of Khangress ecosystem? Superseded? We have such people in the higher judiciary too. We need to be very careful.

what 'rotten eggs'. They are patriots like anyone else. Modi has a lot left to prove with regard to Kashmir move. 12 days under curfew. Still unclear what will happen after curfew. If anything it proves that governments that decided in the past to use politics to stabilize the situation were right in their approach too. Instead of talking nonsense and branding others traitors, the BJP would be better served by proving they know how to manage the situation till the end.
 

Looks like chty Fawad shifted to tweeting in urdu to escape our trolling.

Following is the translation for the 1st tweet ...

The diplomatic efforts of the government are commendable. There are mouths to the Modi government in the United Nations. Had to eat, but also of that fact Be aware that you have to fight your own wars Yes, it is necessary to tell if Modi The government did not back its steps on Kashmir If it were taken, it would be a terrible war

Being former officers or not , does not make one patriot , nor puts them on high moral ground
Nothing is to be taken for granted as time takes its toll and importantly action speaks louder than silly assumptions.

I know of cases of very senior retired military officials , nothing to say of retired high ranking civilian bureaucrats who kind of overlooked loyalties. Just because such cases are publicly unknown or buried does not mean one needs to behave like ostriches or rather conform to their views because of vested leanings personal political or otherwise.

There was this retired general and his daughter in law and a Pakistani diplomat , damage to opsec was considerable over a period of time , but finally when the matter ended , it was so scandalous that the issue was quickly buried.

I know of many such stories , so Indians and possibly Pakistanis pretending to Indians let's not delve into morality , nobody is sacrosanct this side or the other side of the border.

What is your opinion of the tactics used during Kargil (and heavy casualties taken)? Were we committing tactical blunders, or was there simply no other option to take back the peaks, espc. considering the directive to not cross LoC?

Well we, being what we are in terms of political responsibility and the power structure, follow the political imperatives of the day. Of course, the constraints are primarily decided by the Political directives which are ultimately subservient to the external and internal factors that he Government of the day faces. As such, with the situation existing for India in those days, crossing the LC was not conducive for the Government of the day. Militarily, we can analyze it as being a heavy constraint, but we simply did not have the diplomatic capital nor the support that we have today. Considering these facts, I guess the Government of the day did the best it could.
