Tensions on the border between India and Pakistan continued to escalate with the Indian Army losing one soldier, foiling at least two infiltration attempts while several militants were killed. The Army also accused Pakistani troops of firing at its post. The developments came a day ahead of the first meeting of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Cabinet following the terrorist attack on an army camp in Uri on Sunday in which 18 soldiers were killed. Now it is time to fight fire with fire instead or pressing hard for peace talks. Pakistan has not learnt lessons and they are ready to sacrifice trained terrorists to attack Indian Army post. A steadfast approach will only see an end to such attacks frequently taking place in the border. Hitting out the enemy and make them run away from our soil is the first and foremost objective from hereon.
