Kudos to the Indian Armed Forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for carrying out surgical strikes over Pakistan territory and sending a strong message to the enemy nation that India is not a soft state and can retaliate strongly whenever provoked by the enemy. War is no solution for peace but certainly it is the only tool to teach your enemy a lesson if it doesn’t understand the language of dialogues and continues with its evil deeds. Citizens of our great nation should unite and should be firmly support our armed forces and the Prime Minister at this time of emergency. Media too should show constraint as sensitive matters on national security cannot be debated in studios. Provocative speeches and debates should be avoided. Nothing to fear for the Muslims in India and every citizen irrespective of caste and religion should unite to show national integrity at this hour to keep our communal fabric intact. Politicians too should forget their differences at this hour and speak in one language irrespective of the Party they belong.
Pakistan on its part can still put its house in order by agreeing to peace dialogues but the intention should be right but one doubts this scenario unfolding by their past records.
