Last chance for Pakistan | | | Amidst the ceasefire along the Line of Control, Border Security Force (BSF) recently foiled a drone/UAV intrusion bid from the other side in Jammu’s Arnia sector. The India and Pakistan armies in February this year had renewed the 2002 ceasefire agreement and since then the borders and LoC have remained calm. But the latest drone intrusion bid by Pakistan has once again put a question mark on how long would this truce last? History stands testimony to the fact that Pakistan has never adhered to its word in the past. And not many people believe that this time also our neighbor will stick to its commitment. The drone intrusion could just be a beginning as the snow has started to melt and the mountain passes in J&K are about to open. It remains to be seen will the truce hold good in summers also. When the winter had commenced in Kashmir last year there were reports that launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) were full and militants were waiting to sneak in. India has always stood for peace but our unruly neighbor has always instigated us. For the past three decades Pakistan has been fighting a proxy war in J&K. It has lost all the battles, including the conventional wars it has fought. Everyone wants peace to prevail but India’s desire for peace should not be misconstrued as its weakness. Since the day Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has taken over the reins of the country, the armed forces have been given a free hand and during all these years Pakistan Army has been given a befitting reply. After August 5, 2019—when the Centre announced its decision to revoke J&K’s special status and divided it into two union territories—Pakistan made all possible attempts to send in more and more militants in J&K but the robust counter infiltration grid along the LoC and the international border didn’t allow the militants to succeed in their attempts. Pakistan Army is aware of the fact that it cannot match the skills and strength of the Indian Army and is in no position to fight a conventional war. It has kept the conflict alive for the past three decades by hiding behind the militants. The ongoing truce is the last opportunity for Pakistan to mend the fences with India. If it doesn’t change its attitude it would have to face larger consequences. |
