Is India planning major action against Pakistan? | Pulwama massacre of 47 CRPF Jawans | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 22: Is the Narendra Modi Government mulling some major action against Pakistan? The answer appears to be in the affirmative. Just a week after terrorists belonging to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) terror group carried out a deadly strike in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama killing 47 CRPF soldiers, Home Minister Rajnath Singh has dropped a big hint with regard to the action the government is planning against the rogue state of Pakistan. As the outrage over the gruesome murder of 47 CRPF jawans at Pulwama in Kashmir on February 14 continued to grow in the country by the day, Rajnath Singh has said that the "time will come" when there will be "fulfilment" to people's sentiments and expectations. "But I am very assured and I want to ssure you that time will come when people's sentiments today, their desires, their expectations…those expectations will have fulfillment," he said in Delhi while reacting to the demands being raised across the country by people that Pakistan must be brought to India's knees; fissiparous tendencies in J&K eliminated; separatists be booked, arrested and sent outside J&K; and the so-called mainstream leaders like Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti reined in or action against them be taken for the support they had been overtly and covertly giving to Pakistan and separatist outfits like Hurriyat Conference. The Union Home Minister, however, refused to elaborate on his big statement that came amid demands of revenge for the Pulwama terror attack. Massive protests and candlelight marches across the country have followed the terror attack. There has been a common demand that India should take revenge for the terror attack on the lines of the surgical strikes conducted in 2016 following the Uri Army camp terror strike. It is pertinent to mention here that soon after the dreaded terror attack on the CRPF convoy the Government of India withdrew the Most Favoured Nation Status from Pakistan. And on February 21, New Delhi also announced that no water from rivers Beas and Satluj will be allowed to go to Pakistan and that the same will be used in India itself for irrigation and other purposes. The statement to this effect was made by Union Surface Minister Nitin Gadkari. Not just this, New Delhi on Thursday gave some indication that it would end its trade ties with Pakistan. All these three actions have the potential of rippling Pakistan's economy and teaching Pakistan a lesson. However, the nation also wants New Delhi to "break Pakistan into four states". |
