No end to border firing

It is now sufficiently clear that Pakistan has no intention of reining in its super terrorist organization, the Lashkar while its army is conducting anti-terrorist operations in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) region. By giving day to day details of Army’s operation against the Pushtuns, Pakistan wants to convey to the world how seriously it is pursuing the terrorists linked to Al Qaeda and the Taliban of Afghanistan. Thereby, it wants to absolve itself of allegations of India-centric terrorism in Kashmir and elsewhere. By giving super media hype to military operations in KP region, Pakistan tries to become eligible for more and more hefty billions in aid from the US and other sources. Who actually is Pakistan army fighting in KP is very unclear. We are also told that apart from deployment of troops in that area, Pakistani military sources are also conducting behind the curtain talks with the resistance forces in KP region.
These being the parameters of Pakistan’s new domestic strategy, Islamabad simultaneously escalated infiltration into Kashmir as well as attacks on our security forces at more places. According to information available, ISI is working in unison with the premier terrorist organization LeT in recruiting boys in their teens after they have received elementary education in religious seminaries —-madrasahs of Pakistan— of which there are more than half a lakh in that country. This force is recruited by the Lashkar-i-Toiba, a terrorist organization already banned by the US State Department. Thus Pakistan is trying to draw mileage in her proxy war in Kashmir by keeping her regulars engaged against the Pushtuns.
Pakistan is now openly and brazenly violating the International Border with India in RS Pura – Arnia sector and here her nefarious motives are not hidden from us. Firstly, Pakistan tries to draw as much of mileage as she can, from her military operations on her western front. This is for international consumption. And it is notwithstanding many complaints made by the civilian population of the KP region before the international community of brutal attacks by Pakistani lawless troops on the civilians in that area. Various human rights organizations have brought to the notice of the UN Human Rights Council that civilian and unarmed population in KP region is targeted by regular troops of Pakistan and a notice should be taken of violation of human rights of those people.
Secondly, a major intention of Pakistani Army is to scare away the Indian civilian population located living close to the international border and LoC so that they have the ease and smoothness of sending their armed infiltrators into our side without being detected by our security forces. Thirdly, their avowed intention is to continue fomenting disorder and turmoil in Jammu and Kashmir so that the dissident and separatist groups in Kashmir can carry on the disruptive agenda of ISI. Keeping these motives of Pakistan in sight, the opinion of majority of observers in our country is that this type of skirmish will go on for a long time. May be Pakistan is expecting that by this sporadic firing and shelling that causes fatalities, there will be commotion among the civilian population that would impinge upon the administration in a democratic state of J&K. It is not idle thinking that Pakistan might be expecting some strong retaliation from India so that she gets a chance of projecting imaginary threat to the very existence of Pakistan from India and thus divert the attention of the masses of people from their perilous situation at home. However, India is well aware of these gimmicks of Pakistan. But we cannot discourage our border security forces from retaliating befittingly and disallow the adversary any chance of misreading our preparedness and willingness to meet their challenge.
We salute our brave and courageous citizens on the border who have remained undaunted by the treacherous attacks by Pakistan. We know that enemy’s firing and shelling kills and maims innocent people. The government should decided to compensate them adequately. But they deserve all the praise and it should be said that as long as we have such brave people living on the border, our enemy cannot make an iota of success in its dirty designs.
