Indian Air force Jawans struck the terrorist camps of terror organization Jaish-e-Mohammad on the wee hours of 26th Feb, 2019 when the people were in deep slumber. It was a well planned attack not on the military installations of Pakistan but was a specific attack on the terrorist camps of those terrorists who had masterminded the Pulwama attack which led to martyrdom of 40 CRPF jawans. Therefore, it was a befitting reply to the forces of doom and destruction who had unleashed the reign of terror and mayhem in J&K from the last over 30 years and there seems no respite from the cycle of violence & dance of death and destruction. The Indian air force strike was most professional and preemptive and calculated one and was not a military attack but was a precision attack on the militant camps. Under international conventions and traditions, a country is free to defend itself from terrorist attacks and India has fool proof evidence of the involvement of the Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists who are based in Pakistan in the heinous, dastardly and unprecedented suicide attack on the CRPF convoy in Pulwana. Indian PM Narinder Modi had vowed to take the revenge from the Pakistan and 26th Feb Air force attack on the militant camps in POK and Pakistan is a befitting reply to the forces of death and destruction. It is good that civilian population of Pakistan was safe and sound as there was no collateral damage. Our attack was precisely on the terrorist camps who were involved in the dastardly and cowardice act on the CRPF convoy at Pulwana which led to martyrdom of 40 of our uniformed men belonging to 16 states of India. There is grief and anger among the population of India and they wanted from the government to avenge the terrorist attack and give a befitting reply to Pakistan and make that country to understand that India will no longer tolerate such terrorist acts on its security men and civilian population. Sensing the popular mood of the grieved and angered citizens, Modi gave full freedom to army and other security agencies to take on the enemy terrorist camps and give a befitting reply to Pakistan. It is so good that our brave airmen and officers bombarded the terrorist camps of Jaish-e-Mohammad in PoK and Pakistan and in all 12 Mirage 2000 planes were involved in the pre-dawn strike on the terrorist camps and the air force did not incur any casualty in this operation. It is second surgical strike on the terrorist camps in Balakote, Muzzafarabad and Pakistan and the whole operation was on the specific terrorist camps and it was totally preemptive and non military and it in no way can be termed as an attack on Pakistan. Every country in the world has right to strike the terrorist hide outs which are involved in the terrorist attacks on its uniformed forces and the civilian population. People of India were by and large in jubilation mood over the successful attack of its air force on the terrorist camps in Pok and Pakistan and the whole operation was conducted in the 21 minutes. The whole operation was monitored from air forces headquarters in New Delhi and the operation was successful and is a befitting reply to the forces of doom and destruction. Pakistan has now understood that India can strike on its soil and the back of terrorists has broken as some 300 to 350 terrorists including 25 top commanders of Jaish-e-Mohammad are believed to have died in the predawn strike of Indian Air Force. Indian government, opposition parties and the general public are on same line and in unison had commended the air strike of the Indian air force on the terrorist camps across border. The whole nation is with the valiant jawans of Indian army, air force and navy in this hour of trial and crisis. Air attack on the terrorist camps in Pok and Pakistan is all good but what next to reign in the rouge state of Pakistan and discipline that country and the terrorists operating from its soil and the territory under its control. Now the fight should be to finish as enough is enough and short term gains and objectives should give way to long term objectives so that Pakistan will see to the reason and futility of terrorism and should put a halt to terrorism as its state policy and reign in the terrorist organizations. Subsequently Pakistan has violated ceasefire agreement of 2003 as usual and has even violated the sanctity of line of control and had tried to attack Indian military installations but our alert and brave air force jawans have repulsed Pakistani attack and had short down F-16 of Pakistan. But Pakistan claims to have destroyed one of our fighter planes. One of our Air Force wing- commander was in the custody of Pakistan and it is hoped that he will be sent back to India. Under the Geneva Convention human values are to be upheld and prisoners of war are to be given good and humble treatment. Geneva Convention has been signed by 179 countries of the world with India and Pakistan being signatories to the convention and thus in accordance with the Geneva Convention it is hoped that Pakistan will hand over the Indian Air force Commander to India. Pakistan is not in a position to cross the laximan rekha of Geneva Convention. Now that India has striked at the base of terrorist camps, it is only feasible that the present war against terror will be carried to its logical conclusion so that Pakistan will hand over the dreaded terrorists including Masood Azar, Sayeed Sallah-ud-din, Hafiz Sayeed and other terrorist to India who were directly involved in the Pulwama and other terrorist attacks. All this boils down to the fact that India has attacked at the right location of the terrorist camps and now the question is what will be the next course of action by India? The gains reaped by the air strikes should not be wasted but Pakistan should be made to pay for its misdeeds and meddling into India's internal affairs. Much cannot be hoped from the Pakistan's PM Imran Khan who is a puppet in the hands of Pak army and ISI. There is also no meaning for talks with the so called civilian government of Pakistan since Imran Khan is the handmaid of Pakistan army. Return of Indian air force wing commander Abhinandhan is all right but our efforts should not be only to get release of the Indian Air force officer alone but also to reign in the militants in Pakistan and force Pakistan to hand over dreaded militant commanders to India who are a threat to the peace and tranquility in the whole South Asian countries. It should be understood that the trinity of three A's i.e Allah, America and Army run the Pakistan affairs. Now that America's president Donald Trumph has said that some good news will come from India and Pakistan and the tension between the two neighbors will end and will it be a reality? But India should not allow its gains and the martyrdom of its CRPF men and thereafter army officers and jawans to go in vein and rather India should pressurize Pakistan to declare Jaish-e-Mohammad and other terrorist organizations unlawful and get them banned. Pakistan should choke the funds and finances of these unlawful organizations and also handover the dreaded terrorist heads to India. Pakistan should dismantle the terrorist infrastructure and only then talks should be held otherwise not. Handing over of Hafiz Sayeed, Masood Azar, Sayeed Sallah-ud-din and other terrorist heads to India should be perused vigorously. Britain, France and America have said that India has a right to retaliate and defend its territory. OIC has invited Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj as a guest invitee to its conference but Pakistan has abstained from the meeting of OIC. In fact, Pakistan has been diplomatically isolated at the international level. But somehow better sense has prevailed on Pakistan and Pak PM Imran Khan has declared in parliament that Abhinandhan will be released tomorrow and this is the result of the international pressure. His release today is a big diplomatic achievement of India.
