After India imposed pressure on Pakistan to take immediate stern action against the Pathankot airbase attacker terrorists, it has started its usual ‘acting’ by asking for the fingerprints and voice samples of the suspected terrorists. This is nothing but indirect rejection of India’s demands. India should call off talks, stop cricketing ties, trade with such untrustworthy ‘neighbour’. In fact, the need of hour is to destroy all its terrorism training camps, their hideouts, arms and ammunition in Pakistan as well as in PoK without any (undeserved) prior warning. The ISI headquarter and all its branches should also be destroyed simultaneously. Pakistan deserves ‘tit for tat’ treatment only. Our neighbour deserves not peace talks, but powerful ‘kicks.’ We don’t want even a single inch of the Pakistani soil. The US administration is also ‘acting’ very nicely, which Indians can easily understand very well. Indians are not fools. I also fail to understand that the US wants India’s muscular rural and urban markets for its goods and services, but at the same time, though it can destroy Taliban terrorists’ hideouts on the Afghan-Pakistan border, but it is ‘unable’ to destroy the Pakistan-based and backed terror groups like JeM and LeT and all their arms and ammunition and also ISI on war footing. Why? Just postponement or cancellation of supplying a few F-16 fighter planes for a few months will serve no purpose. The US ought to remember very well and also forever that Pakistan is the natural mother of the globally spread terrorism.
