Friends & Critics
Attack on CRPF personnel on 14th afternoon was Sad, Tragic, an
act of cowardice by the JEM motivated local radicalized terrorist. Whole Nation
was in grief and anger but we need to analyze short comings and intelligence failures
on our part.
A- A convoy of 78 vehicles and 2500 personnel
was nearly a movement of bde level strength on the move. Laid down SOP’s should
have been followed. Vehicle to vehicle distance and communication between the
vehicles should have been a practice. Each vehicle should have had certain
amount of fire power to shoot down any intruding vehicle. Rather the movement
of vehicle from opposite direction should never be allowed.
B- The strength of 350kg’s of RDX or any
other explosives was good enough to write off 30 tanks (7 to 10 Kg’s per tank is
normally enough).
C- Stop patting your back and chest thumping
for having killed the terrorists. This action gives encouragement and
motivation to the horrendous elements. Even if our security forces kill 400
people will not be a solace as to the bereaved families.
D- Though the govt. now is now inducting
fresh troops by air but this should be a regular feature. The IAF has two heavy
lift SQDN based at Hindon (C-17 carrying capacity of 70 tones) Chandigarh (with
IL-76 Aircraft carrying capacity of 48 tones.) Make Hindon and Chandigarh as
nodal points for CRPF camps or any other CAPF forces requiring regular airlift
to the valley. As a mater of principle air lift in to the valley should be
resorted by means of AIR ONLY.

Shaming
ourselves : - Our political response to the barbarous Pulwama attck has
played into the hands of Lashkar, Jaish, and the ISI. – The threats and
intimidation issued by the ABVP, the dog-whistles issued by Amit Shah and by
the Meghalaya governor, the silence of the prime minister and of the Congress
president-not one of these will make our jawans any safer. On the other hand
they will please and comfort our enemies, and embolden them further. If young Kashmiri’s
are told that colleges in the mainland have no place for them, who does that
help but the JIHADIS? If the governor of one state asks us to boycott citizens
of another state who does that help but the JIHADIS? IE Feb. 21st
Wake up India, Stakes
are high, are we the people of India Vigilant.
