One thing is crystal-clear about our aggressive neighbour, Pakistan — that it never has wanted peace. It is a country that constantly plots what to do next even if the earlier plan has failed.
Indian Army officers are unlikely to discuss sensitive issues openly, as can be read from the report (Page 1, “‘9/11 derailed Army plan to capture Pakistani posts along LoC’,” January 21). As long as firm action such as “Operation Kabaddi” is put off, India will continue to pay a heavy price in terms of our soldiers’ lives being lost and our vital military installations becoming vulnerable to attack.
