How long will
jawans bleed?
Sir,
The defence forces
of any country are proud of it. Indeed these are
the defence personnel who have made supreme
sacrifices to keep the borders, unity, integrity
and prestige of our country high, especially
now-a-days when proxy war has been unleashed at
our country and a continuous threat hanging at
the borders and inside the country. The task of
our defence personnel has become more tough,
gigantic and challenging. Fortunately, there was
and never will be any dearth of brave men in our
country that can sacrifice their heads any time
for the sake of mother land and instead of that
head infinity times more heads will be present to
keep the prestige and flag of our mother nation
fly high.
Besides that it is
our duty to take care of them and support them in
every way. Unfortunately we have never been able
to defend them and protect them properly. History
is witness to the fact that we have never
benefited the country from the sacrifices made by
our valiant jawans.
First of all it
was in 1947 when Pak was advancing in Kashmir.
These were our armed forces that stopped their
advances and started recapturing our territory
that was lost to the enemy. But before it they
could recapture whole of the area cease-fire was
declared and a complicated problem reacted that
is still sucking the blood of our soldiers.
After that it was
in 1962 when Army, for the same of Army, was
developed on the Chinese Border and our rulers
were careless and sleeping in the garb of slogans
like "Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai". It was
the worst debacle of our country in which many
personal were either killed or many of them even
starved to death because of lack of any kind of
support to our troops.
In 1971 when we
created Bangladesh a record more than 93,000 of
enemy personnel were captured by our valiant
soldiers But instead of giving permanent solution
of the Kashmir problem and all other border
disputes all the prisoners of war were given
back. Thus making sacrifices of our soldiers null
and void.
The recent Kargil
victory tells us a different story. It was the
first war which we have to fight in our own land
that too under harsh and severe unfavourable
conditions when too many options were available
for us and we must have taught our enemy a
lesson. Instead of all these our soldiers were
asked to fight a limited conventional was that
too under strick restrictions such as not to
cross the LoC while the enemy was sitting on
their heads, thus increasing the casualties of
our soldiers. Even then these were our brave and
valiant soldiers that stood victorious in such
harsh and rough conditions. But our government
always gives the enemy the safe passage so that
they may sustain insurgency in different parts of
the country.
It is well known
to every body the behaviour, our patrol party
meted which was captured by the enemy before the
Kargil war. Our valiant soldiers were treated in
most inhuman barbaric conditions and across all
the limits.
The recent
incident of Pyrdiwah in Meghyala also speaks
volume of inhuman and barbaric treatment meted to
our defence personnel that were captured without
any provocation. Unfortunately besides all these
incidents our callous governments still believe
in diplomacy. For how long our security forces
will suffer because of wrong policies of our
government that are unable to retaliate against
the enemy effectively and to provide a freehand
to our personnel whether on the border or inside
the country in insurgency, related matter.
Everytime a condition is imposed on them. Thus
making their task more difficult and increasing
their casualties. In our country when many people
are preaching for animals rights. Foreign
mercenaries whose sole aim is to play havoc in
our country do have human rights. Why do we deny
any kind of right and honour to our valiant
soldiers who are giving supreme sacrifices to
safeguard the interest of our motherland? For how
long this shallow diplomacy will bleed our
forces. How many times we will remain silent
spectators while keeping a blind faith in all the
respective governments and its policies.
Yours etc..
