Well you should definitely have framed your statement better, as I said, question P Swami != saying BSF bull shits. First is valid second not.
Since you are consistently avoiding the fact that your statement tried to down play typical Paki perfidious behavior as a local problem due error on the part of hot-headed commanders on both sides (thus adding TSPA == IA equal equal for good measure) --
The person who I spoke to said that and this person speaks to high level mil, intel and govt officials all the time. He is not saying what happened was untrue - he is simply saying that BSF officers tend to spice up a story - that in no way says BSF are unprofessional or attacking serving officers as you put it.
I take it you are apologetic about that mistake on your part.
In which case I hope you will come out and clearly say what Sushant Sareen said. That these flare-ups are typical of Pakis trying to push in Jihadis and test the resolve of IA?
Some amount of redemption could be achieved.
lol! Quit putting words in my mouth - I am not apologetic, I relayed an opinion of someone and thats it, if you don't believe it or dislike it you are welcome to have your opinion and I don't have a problem with that. KG and Poonch are sectors that are Hot and have been hot for a long time - even Praven Swami article highlights that while both sides were exchanging mithai for eid in the other sectors, they were exchanging fire in Pooch/KG sector.
Where have I disputed that Paki's weren't trying to smuggle terrorists in???
As for the flare ups - I spoke to a retired officer, he said JJ Singh authorised sniper teams in the KG sector in response to Paki sniping at our boys. How much of this is ever reported? Same for the Indian SF operation on a Paki forward base. We only get tiny parts of a story.
Earlier I was saying that Indian SF were conducting reconnaissance inside PRC and we cross into PRC territory as much as they cross into ours - some on BR refused to believe that!! There is a presumption that we are somewhat weak - probably because Indian journo's only talk about what other side is doing - as it causes more of a stir and more readership.
