Is politics more important than security ?


After the attacks of Pakistan-funded terrorists on Pathankot Airbase and then the Indian Army camp in Uri two years ago, it was necessary for the Modi government to teach a lesson to this neighboring country. Finally, on 28-29 September, 2016, the Indian Army has a surgical strike in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. While this bold action of the army made India feel proud, Pakistan was forced to hide its mouth. In this successful military operation, nearly three dozen terrorists including many Pakistani soldiers were killed, while India suffered no harm.



This kind of action across the border is considered to be very difficult and risky, but a team of Indian Army has done it successfully. With this action, the message went to Pakistan that if the need arises, the Indian Army will not hesitate to cross the Laxman Line. Keep in mind Pakistan has kept several terrorists' hideouts in the occupied Kashmir. The only purpose of these terrorist bases is to spread instability in Jammu and Kashmir. India continued to warn Pakistan against these terrorist bases and continued to expose them on international forums, but neither did they pay attention to India's concerns nor did the world community.

Due to being a peace loving democracy, India has never seen aggression towards any neighboring country. Crossing the border, the surgical strike was a result of the overwhelming majority of Pakistan who were resorting to terrorism. Earlier, all the governments followed this policy not to carry military action after crossing the Line of Control. One of the reasons for this was that they did not want to take the risk of fighting such an action, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh never avoided telling  Pakistan that they have to suffer if they do not stop terrerisom. Under this policy, surgical strikes occurred and every incident of ceasefire violation is being given a strong response.

Everyone is aware of how some parties including Congress, had created a hiatus during the surgical strike. Rahul Gandhi had given this statement against Prime Minister Modi that he was broking the blood of the soldiers. Some opposition leaders were demanding only for the evidence of surgical strikes. It is astonishing that in the last week when various TV channels showed videos of surgical strikes, Congress again came forward to object objection.

Congress's media in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala said on the video of a surgical strike, that the Modi government is using the bravery and power of the army for their political propoganda. He also termed it as a shameless attempt of political gains, but when asked if some parties were demanding its proof, then he could not answer any direct answer.

 Some of  other parties also objected to embarrassment when the videos of surgical strikes came and questioned the government. Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has answered these questions on behalf of the government. While referring to the statement of blood brokerage, Congress President Rahul Gandhi not only asked whether there should be no surgical strike, but also asked whether the only purpose of the Congress is to break the morale of the army.

 The glorious stories of the army not only bring pride to the common people but also create the sense of patriotism. Do not know how many families that are ready to serve the nation by joining the Generation Generation Army. If the general public is not familiar with the legends of the army, then how will young soldiers become motivated to serve the country?

Political parties should know that all the posts in the army are vacant, because the eligible and capable young people are not coming forward to become a military officer. This situation indicates that young people are not as motivated to go as far as the army is as inspiring as they should be. After all, why should anyone object to the details of surgical strikes or other military feats, and that too when the Army is in favor of making public its action of surgical strike?
Today it has increased the need for the promotion of the army's bold campaigns as far as possible. Videos of these campaigns should also be created, as well as documentary and feature films - just like the movie on Kargil conflict. Films have been made on almost every war in our country and some of them are in the classical category. If the Modi government permitted the video of a surgical strike, then what is wrong in it?

There is no point in Congress saying that surgical strikes like September, 2016 were done at the time of Manmohan Singh and earlier in the Vajpayee government. It must have been undoubtedly done, but making them public also has its value. This government only decides when to carry out any military action, which is to keep it public? If the Modi government understood it necessary to make the world aware of the surgical strike against Pakistan two years ago, then there were some special reasons, and the biggest reason was to give this tough message to Pakistan that if it did not respond to anti-India objections Now the Indian army is not going to sit with his hands on hand. After all, what does it mean to object to this decision? Every decision of governments is political.

Nationality has always been at the top of the BJP's agenda and this is why they have a special urgency towards national anthem and national song. In the same way, he gives priority to the ancient philosophy and values of India. His leaders keep mentioning mythological references. The Prime Minister himself usually concludes his address with the blessings of Bharat Mata. If the Congress and Left parties call them all Hindus, then BJP calls it Indianism. Even if the Congress and Left parties are hesitant to proclaim Vande Mataram and Bharat Mata Jai, but the BJP is known to glorify these symbols of nationalism. If the Congress and the Left are wishing that the BJP's political vision becomes like them, then it is their unwise thinking.
