@chanakyaa and @abhijitm I am in complete agreement with you. In fact I am personally perplexed on why we have taken so long to tighten the screws on Yameen. Please don't construe my questions as a reason not to act. I believe that we were so successful in Bangladesh war (1971) because we were very ...

Who is Gokhale? BTW: Swaraj is in KSA, could very well be setting the ground.

Gokhale is current Foreign Secretary of India.

I am sure our boys are tactically practicing all options of landing into Male. I wish they do a couple of days practice of a landing approach with a hard deck of say 2000 Feet into the airport. Will help setup a sense of urgency into the government and also get the message across.

Shouldn't this idiot be booked under OSA? And anyone who does even a little bit of scenario analysis would play out this situation. If I was on the other side this will be the first possibility I would plan for. You don't need to have a PhD to figure out that India may react differently to the situ...

Its a 35 days emergency. I expect his bluff will be called pretty quickly. Yameen and Family is on a one way street. They will not have a option to resettle some place else.

Open discussion of failures on a public platform requires one to be a democracy. If you re-examine your own statement, you are saying that non democracies will not discuss failures openly.

As I read page 2 & 3 of this thread I realized that we often convert this into a baiting and bashing thread.

Given that these leaks date back to 2011 I will not be surprised if our CI teams detected the chatter on this many moons back and alerted the folks who need to know about it. This may have required substantial changes to the systems and may be the real reason behind the delays.
