The brutal attack at Uri town which killed 20 Indian soldiers by Pakistan sponsored ‘Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) should not just be condemned but replied appropriately by men in uniform from our borders. It is truly a shame that a nation with over a billion and quarter population is not able to control a terrorist country like Pakistan whose population may be one fifth of our numbers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi should stop his ‘Maan ki baat’ (heart talk) and start ‘Gun ki baat’ (gun talk) to take revenge as well as stop cross border terrorism. Wrapping bodies of dead soldiers in Indian flag is no way to respect the martyred soldiers but the only way should be to take revenge of their death by killing the enemy which would give solace to their soul. Modi should break all protocol and ask the armed forces to attack Pakistan immediately without any delay to send a message to the world that we are not going to compromise when it comes to safeguarding our national security and sovereignty. Also, media debates in television studios is not the way out to settle issues concerning security and the electronic media should respect the situation. Let the government decide on our security with utter secrecy so that our plans are kept under wraps and the enemy is unaware of the same!
