Was there any intelligence failure? The attendees in the meeting considered this a serious lapse from what they learned from Pathankot where a fidayeen squad of Jaish infiltrated the strategically crucial air base, and because of Pakistan’s attempt to cause upheaval in J&K. “Def Min. should be held accountable (sic)”, he tweeted earlier in the day.

Pakistan denies any role and has accused India of apportioning blame before it had properly investigated. Where is Narendra Modi who boasts about having a chest of 56 inch etc? A high-level security review meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 19, has given its nod to diplomatically isolate Pakistan at every worldwide grouping.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised those responsible would not go unpunished.

“She said not only for India, Pakistan or Kashmir, resolving this issue was imperative for long-lasting peace in the South Asia”. Instead of evolving a sustainable approach and policy to the challenge of Pakistan backed terrorism and the management of domestic dissent in J&K, these leaderships have chosen a fractious and polarizing politics, appealing to their own divided constituencies, for short term electoral gains. And given that India and China are Pakistan’s immediate neighbours, the two countries have the highest threat perception of Pakistan-origin terrorism.

In what is tagged as one of the deadliest attacks in the disputed region of Kashmir, heavily armed militants, on Sunday morning, stormed an Indian Army base near the border with Pakistan, killing at least 17 soldiers.

To a question on Sunday’s terror attack, the spokesperson said that France condemned the “terrible attack carried out in Uri”.

In the coming days, Indian authorities will probe the circumstance of the attack and the identities of the perpetrators. Two other critically injured soldiers have also been airlifted to the military hospital in New Delhi.

“Will Modi government tell who leaked info of troop movement and change over?”

But analysts say that tough rhetoric aside, the range of possible Indian responses to this latest attack are limited.

Surjewala said the government must also take appropriate steps at the global fora so that Pakistan is declared as a “terrorist state”. COAS expressed complete satisfaction over operational preparedness of the Army. “We will do something else for our livelihood”, said Mehra. The action has to be taken without getting influenced by emotions, anger. “Moreover, if we do not import dates from Pakistan, they will not find buyers for this”, he added.

In the past, when it was in the opposition, Modi’s party loudly criticized responses to terror attacks by the then-ruling Congress party, calling its leaders weak-kneed and timid.
