Very Sad!

This Prime minister of India could not sleep all night when a doctor from Bangalore was accused of being a terrorist in Australia.

Yet there isn't a word from him about the grief of Hemraj and Sudhakar's family.

What is going on?

Does any one know why two different stories from the army about beheading and mutilation?

CoAS talking tough in press conference. Watch NDTV!

Promises to retaliate in a place of own choosing and time.

Will update some takeaways here:
1. It was Pak who requested a ceasefire in Nov 2003.
2. "Want my troops to be aggressive and offensive when fired upon."
3. Sequence of war - duel, engagement, battle, campaign and finally war. Right now its at the duel level.
4. "IAF chief meant diplomatic options in his statement" (Reiterated twice in separate questions)

This 'clarification' by Singh about what Browne said seems interesting. Does anyone else here sense a subtle jockeying among the forces for prominence in terms of possible response? Or could also be MoD trying to keep their feet on both boats and defuse the situation.

I for one found it very very interesting that the first Chief of Staff conference was by Browne and not Singh.

Waiting for what the Navy Chief will say now ;-)

Browne is the current Chairman, COSC being the seniormost Chief amongst the three. So he is the natural lead for the conference.

Interesting story from a journo's question

"In Dera Baba Nanak sector held by Pakis during 1971, the Paki troops raped the village women and cut their breasts. The shocked Indian Army responded by rounding up the villages and killing each Paki soldier there."

India won't remain passive if attacked: Army chief
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi ... 016727.cms
NEW DELHI: The killing of two Indian soldiers — one of whom was beheaded — by Pakistani troops is a "gruesome and an unpardonable act," Army chief General Bikram Singh said on Monday, and asserted that his forces "reserve the right to retaliate".

"What they (Pakistan) have done is against the ethics of soldiering. My heart goes out to the families of soldiers who were killed and whose bodies were mutilated. It's a gruesome and unpardonable act. Beheading of soldiers is not acceptable," Singh told reporters here.

He also said that the Indian Army will uphold the ceasefire as long as it is maintained.

"We will uphold the ceasefire as long as it is maintained. We reserve the right to retaliate at the time and place of our choosing," Singh said.

Appreciating the Indian soldiers, Singh said: "Commanders on LoC are doing a great job. I expect my commanders on the LoC to be aggressive. They must understand that the Army hierarchy is behind them."

Border tensions between India and Pakistan have risen sharply since the January 6 death of a Pakistani soldier in alleged firing by Indian forces along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir.

Two days later, on January 8 Pakistani soldiers killed and mutilated two Indian soldiers in the Mendhar sector in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir. The soldiers were identified as Lance Naik Sudhakar Singh and Lance Naik Hemraj of the Rajputana Rifles.

I feel the same. Chief talks too much and forced to respond after COAS statements.

Video - If provoked, we will retaliate, says Army Chief Gen Bikram Singh

India won't remain passive if attacked: Army chief

Talking tough, he said the killing of two Indian soldiers on the LoC in Mendhar area of Jammu and Kashmir on January 6 was a pre-planned and pre-meditated action by Pakistani troops and India reserves the right to retaliate at "time and place of its choice".

Regarding the Chindu story, that all this was caused by an aggressive Indian commander, the CoAS said “I expect all my commanders at the Line of Control to be both aggressive and offensive in the face of provocation and fire."

This is a grave violation of humanity and human rights of TSP-ians and their assorted pigs trying to cross over peacefully into India.

How can the chief condone such behaviour when we should be showing the other cheek when TSPA folks fire on us? P.Swami, A.Shukla and Saikatt should write a joint article protesting this travesty of a statement which might damage our fragile peace relations.

Those who have been advocating Indian withdrawal from Siachen have to recognize, at least now, what TSPA is up to. Keeping peace along the LoC is also an agreement, isn't it ? But, if Kargil does not teach them anything, this too will not. If the clueless, dumb and dimwith dhimmi political class pushes IA too far, there may be consequences that the country will face.

India-Pak flag meeting fails
The Brigade-level flag meeting between Indian and Pakistani authorities at Chakan Da Bagh near the Line of Control in Poonch on Monday afternoon ended without any breakthrough.

Official sources revealed to The Hindu that the meeting on the Zero Line between Commander of the 10th Brigade, Brig. T.S. Sandhu and his Pakistani counterpart, lasted just 15 minutes. The two were joined by over a dozen of the field commanders from the two sides.

Brig. Sandhu is understood to have conveyed India ’s deep outrage over the brutal killing of two soldiers of the 13 Rajputana Rifles regiment, allegedly by a joint Border Action Team of Pakistan’s 29 Baloch regiment commandos and militants of Lashkar-e-Taiba, near Chattri post in Mendhar area of Poonch on January 8, 2013.

Brig. Sandhu made it clear to the other side that India reserved the “right to retaliate” until there was publicly an apology besides returning of the severed head of Lance Naik Hemraj and the weapons looted from the two slain soldiers, the sources said. He also demanded an assurance that there would be no repeat of such an “unprecedented and unprofessional heinous act” and made it clear that the Indian Army would respond to such a violation of the November 2003 ceasefire with “appropriate and quick response”, they added.


It was not immediately clear as to what was the response from the other side.

Sources said that, contrary to expectations, there was no discussion on restoration of cross-LoC trade and travel that remains suspended since January 10. As many as 65 trucks loaded with perishables have been returned to Poonch and Rajouri and over a hundred passengers have been stranded on either side of the LoC in the Jammu-Poonch sector on the Indian side and the Hajeera-Rawalakote area across the border.

Cross-LoC travel is handled on Mondays and trade on the four following days at Chakan Da Bagh in Jammu and Salamabad, Uri, in Kashmir valley. However, the skirmishes since January 6, when a Pakistani soldier reportedly died in the Indian retaliation across Charonda village, trade and travel operation has not got disrupted on Srinagar-Uri-Muzaffarbad route.

Brig. Sandhu proceeded to the district headquarters without speaking to the media on his return from the Trade Facilitation Centre at Chakan Da Bagh. Unconfirmed reports said that he drove all the way to the Rajouri-based headquarters of the 25 Division where the Divisional Commander would hold a meeting with all brigade commanders of the Poonch-Rajouri belt.

He has turned out to be a great disappointment to mms and gang. :D

He also mentioned AFSPA which he said was not to be removed.

The military is seriously drawing red lines publicly and no amount of aman ki tamasha is going to change this.

shooklaw (up for padmashri??) and others of his traitorous ilk are there to simply give an acceptable "military face" to the silly position that mms and gang have taken up.

The present GOI will not be able to handle the firece public outcry if any sly compromise is made by mms. kurshit has been brought in for some presently unfathomable purpose. The powers that be are presently eyetalian, sikh, xtain as defence, other desert religions in various positions of power like MEA, etc and going by recent past record, the supreme national interest of India is not their aim or objective.

No wonder the pakis are emboldened to try all sorts of tricks. Something is seriously afoot and is tied to the amreki withdrawal from afghanistan and the time lines beyond and baluchistan has just come under president's rule? The s#it has hit the fan after kerry has entered the picture. The chinese factor is also not clear right now.

It is very nice ot know that the Army chief is holding the RED lines against the GOI on Siachen and AFSPA.
Fighting Militancy is a matter of life and death. Politicians at the comfort of Air conditioned, cushioned Arm chairs can talk any thing !! Imagine the situation where even these AFSPA is removed, then what morale our jawans will have to fight militancy ?? :roll:
Equally would be giving up Siachin !! It is very hard fought battle. We sacrified so many precious life to get there. vacating Siachin would amounts to Giving it back to pakis !!! :roll:

I hope good sense prevail with GOI !!

:rotfl: Nicely put.

Finally, some nice news after depressing behavior shown by mms and co. Hopefully, Gen. BK Singh is not stifled by MMS and other "aman ki asha" people after what he has said.

Lets see what Ajai Sukla and TheHindu has to say now, after their misinformation campaign has proved flat lie.

I would expect everything is already done, and not reported. Who cares about DDM and Babooze. Get the job done, and the news never appear. FINE!.. all we need is a confirmed chaiwala telling us the stories some time very suitable for sharing such news. An evidence by photos / camera phones would be something for a party time.

There is no point relying on the administration who think pakistan just like us. This is not an enemy we are dealing with.. this is a colossal virus like creatures that needs extermination.

Gen.Singh is just paying lip service - this statement "we will retaliate at a place and time of our choosing" can be interpreted both ways, hope the chief takes the morale of his men into consideration before making any decision.

d at least two similar incidents had take place before – one in 2012 and another in 2011. The incidents were underplayed then and only some unconfirmed reports surfaced.
That means this UPA is not serious about this beheading business and probably used this to divert heat away from gangrape which was to divert attention away from NaMo.
These idiots were keeping silence over previous incidents. AT least Cpt Kalia case happened during Kargil war. This was supposedly when these idiots badly wanted to talk to pakis

I am not sure what to make out of the Chief's press conference: Hawk or Dove?

Per the TOI report:
India reserves the right to retaliate at "time and place of its choice"
and
On any response to the Pakistani action, he said it has to be the decision of the government :(
Per LiveFist, the following message was conveyed at the Flag meeting:
It was conveyed in no uncertain terms that repetition of such acts will not be tolerated and the Indian Army reserves the right to retaliate at the place and time of our own choosing in case they recur.
I am happy that FirstPost is calling him a dove. Even if he is not, this sort of media pressure is exactly what's needed.

And yes, Bikram Singh did take the sting out of Browne's statement, which was uncalled for. Even if there is some inter-services rivalry, this was not the time or place to air it. One suspects GOI's hand in this. Its clear Browne's statement didnt have UPA's blessing

RoyG: we are not talking about Eunuch UPA, but about the Army Chief. These are his early days. This is one of his first leadership tests. So he is being judged by his actions & words.

If Hemraj's head not returned, get 10 of theirs: Swaraj
"If his (Hemraj's) head could not be brought back (from Pakistan), we should get at least 10 heads from there side," Swaraj told reporters here after visiting Hemraj's family along with party president Nitin Gadkari [ Images ] and leader Rajnath Singh.

"The question is: will we sit without any reaction and engage in a dialogue? This should not happen. At least the government should react in some way. That is why we have said that the government should take some tough measures," she said.

MY assessment of the Army Chief's speech? I only wish that he had "barked" with his artillery and rocket launchers instead of the long-winded speech threatening dire consequences ad nauseum,just like his political bosses.ACM Browne's hard-hitting statement carried far more menace in it.

I have these words of wisdom for the Army Chief.Remember Chairman Mao,who said that " a loud fart is better than a long speech".In fact in this spat with Pak,it is Pak who have "farted" by beheading our valiant soldiers and India that under the spineless leadership of "pimps for peace",who haves succumbed to terror-time and time again and has found no answer other than dropping its dhoti,bending over and getting rogered!
