Pakistan is like a patient who has been given anaesthesia and does not know that surgery has already been done on him. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar opened his mind after the surgical attack on terrorists base across LoC. The Minister’s remarks are first comments from a member of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) following the surgical strikes on terrorist launch pads along the Line of Control. Minister’s comments came even as Army chief Gen. Dalbir Singh visited the Northern and Western Commands and reviewed the Army’s operational preparedness in these two crucial commands. Addressing a gathering in Peethsain in Pauri district of Uttarakhand, the Minister warned that India would not hesitate to carry out more such operations in the future if its interests were harmed. Pakistan is groping in darkness and feels the pinch now after inflicting casualites on the Indian side and paying price for the complacency.
