1) Using artillary to attack paki posts. We are already doing this. It resulted in Substantial damage to pakis.. But paki pigs have somehow became used to it.. They have endless supply of brainwashed cannon fodder to cross the LOC..

2) Covert strike..

3) Using missiles/ airpower to directly target a big fish like Hafeez, salahuddin .. Alternatively we can target significant military installation like Skardu

Anything else we can do.? . Chance of any significant escalation along LOC seems unlikely..
Personaly I would be happy if we are able to castrate every militantand local supporter responsible for this coward attack.. :evil:
NO Ratandip ji we are not doing 1 in anyway close to the intensity we need. We have not used medium guns at all. At most we have use LFGs in rare instances. We have started using heavy mortars now. RLs we always used. Two reasons for this. 1 . We just don't have enough to arty guns and ammo to maintain a long drawn out barrage and also target acquisition in this Terran is difficult for medium guns without active air reconnaissance. Also this will be effective only when we also use rocket arty in the mix and traget the entire LC. So for this we need - a) clear directions from political leadership for an arty offensive with clear goals. Just retaliation is not enough. b) complete freedom to army to calibrate the escalation matrix. This is always lacking. c) guns , ammo and reconnaissance. We can move up arty from strike corps and holding corps. d) we should think about using air power too.

I have said this a MILLION times. Retaliation options is the wrong way of thinking as it's primarily defensive and reacting to enemy. We need strategic offence to inflict severe damage and take tbe initiative with the final objective of stopping infiltration and also making terrorism very costly for the jihadi and tbe Pak army
Thanks for nice clarification sir..

Is it not possible to quietly take out someone like Syed Salahudeen? The Pakis wouldn't even make a big deal out of it as they would be too embarrassed to admit that such a thing even happened under their watch in PoK.

The people of Kashmir have strongly condemned the terror attack on Amarnath yatris. It shows the spirit of Kashmiriyat is very much alive.

"Kashmiriyat", seriously at this hour when 7 women have been shot dead just for the simple reason that they were Hindu's visiting a temple ? That only shows where his focus and empathy lies. Want to scream F*** Y** to Rajnath Singh. Even Modi's statement felt hollow and artificial....

Looks like this (unfortunate) incident can be a starting point for strategic collaboration with the Israelis in counter-terror operations. Our sarkar should quietly engage with the Israelis and make use of their previous experience in neutralising terrorists. Besides, there should be substantial local jihadi contribution to these attacks, which of course would be refuted by Kashmiri politicians who benefit a lot from their jihadi masters.

Israel once took out the 70 year old quadriplegic leader of Hamas using an Apache helicopter and hellfire missiles (while he was being wheeled out of an early morning prayer in Gaza). Will India ever be able to do something similar in PoK? It's the only language these jihadi ******** know.

I originally named this thread
Amarnath Yatris killed in terror attack. Allahoakbar
There were a few messages that expressed distress at the title and anyhow the title has now been changed, with the "Allahoakbar" edited out.

I did not want to get into direct one-on-one arguments with people who were uncomfortable with the original title, but I do want to understand why anyone felt discomfort at the title. Let me state my own reasoning.

Allahoakbar means "God is Great" - however it typically refers to Allah - so "Allah is great". Since Islam recognizes no God but Allah, Allahoakbar means God is great. The title "Amarnath Yatris killed in terror attack. Allahoakbar" has a double meaning. It can mean "Amarnath Yatris killed in terror attack. God is Great" or it can be taken to mean "Amarnath Yatris killed in terror attack. Islamic God is great"

When Islamic terrorists kill non Muslims, they are frequently heard shouting "Allahoakbar". What is the meaning we get out of those shouts? I put it to readers that we always conclude that Muslims did the shouting. We rarely talk about the fact that an Islamic God is being praised by murderers as they commit murder. Why do we do that? Why do Muslims praise their God when they murder non Muslims? Anyone want to hazard a guess? Or is it uncomfortable to talk about that in public.

Every time we blame Muslims for a terror attack we have gone round in circles
  • Don't be an Islamophobe. Hindus are murderers too
  • Terror has no religion
  • The murderers are not true Muslims
Fine. Don't blame Muslims. Simply praise God. God is to be praised no matter what. If a child is born, God is great. If someone dies God is great. So the excuse for using the words "Allahoakbar" in the title could be "I am simply praising God". Why is it wrong? Is it wrong because I am praising a Muslim God or the Islamic idea of God? Note that if YOU think that my praising an Islamic God is wrong, you are an Islamophobe.

You could ask me "OK - you praised God after stating that Amarnath yatris were killed. Did you mean it?"

The killings were carried out by the Lashkar e Taiba. Just a name? No. Lashkar means army. Taiba is "a good person who repents to Allah for all sins, major or minor". It was my intention to point out that a religion directed death sentence has been carried out by worshippers of Allah in executing Hindu pilgrims. Killing may be a sin, but Allah will protect those who repose faith in him. Already people are warning Hindus not to retaliate. People are saying "This is an attempt to spark communal riots". Islam has developed a massive psychological advantage over everyone else. The bald truth must be suppressed. the minute someone says it - outrage and discomfort are sparked off among Muslims and non Muslims alike. We must not speak the truth. On here too, we have sidelined basic truths and are beating about blaming the usual culprits.

We need not retaliate or kill anyone. Just tell the truth. Is that so difficult?

Reading between the lines, they seem to be warning India not to hit any terrorist camps in PoK or hunt down any terrorists/backers for this attack.
For Amnesty international all terrorists are humans while victims life do not mean anything. Amnesty international should be branded a terrorist or supporter of terrorist organization. these are the people who are supporting and giving motivation to terrorists to commit more crime.

Rajnath Singh has received resounding applause from the likes of Rana Ayyub, Nidhi Razdan and other self proclaimed secular crowd in India. Saikat Datta had marked his tweet to the lady's employer.

The lady was bullied on Tweeter and has now deleted her account.

Sometimes, I really wonder about such people in BJP....but for my love of this country and faith in NM, I'd never vote for BJP if such people occupy exalted positions and talk rubbish.

Kashmiriyat, my foot. It died the day Kashmir became Muslim majority and when Kashmiri Hindus were killed, their women raped, forced to flee and their properties occupied by these scums.

Sirs, could any one elucidate to me how opening front in kashmir across pok would 'distract' our professional Indian Army ? Do we really think these professionals have not practised for such scenario and are not capable of sustaining two front war ? It looks like we are projecting our own cowardliness on our army. When nation requires strong collective will against such barbarity , we are inventing reasons to sustain our cowardliness in name of china or other factors.

"Amarnath terror attack: Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina pledges to work with India in fighting extremism
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday denounced the “dastardly” terror attack that killed seven Amarnath pilgrims in Kashmir and reaffirmed Bangladesh’s pledge to work with India in fighting extremism."
http://www.newsnation.in/india-news/ama ... 76641.html
“I am deeply shocked to learn about the dastardly terror attack on a bus carrying pilgrims to Amarnath in Jammu and Kashmir that killed several pilgrims, including women, and injuring many others on Monday,” she said in a letter sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

She added: “As a close friend and neighbour, we would continue to work together in our common endeavour to eradicate this menace from this region and beyond” as Bangladesh maintains “zero tolerance” policy against terrorism and violent extremism “in all forms and manifestations, and condemns such heinous acts”.

Hasina conveyed her deepest condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for early recovery of the injured pilgrims.

Are the bjp minister beginning to believe what they are preaching here? First MoS PMO Jitendra and now HM himself spouting pseudo-secularism. 'Kadi ninda' alone did not seem sufficient this time it seems.

MoS Jitendra - He is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Executive member and was the chief spokesperson for the State of Jammu and Kashmir.He won the Udhampur seat in Indian general election, 2014 for the 16th Lok Sabha.

And still talks about kashmiriyat. No wonder rohingyas have found home in jammu area.

They infuriate me too. But anger or no anger we need the secular public to know what is happening. This attack was not conducted by
  • Bad people
    Misguided Muslims
    Pakistanis
    Kashmiris without jobs
    Anger against Gujarat riots
    Misinterpretation of Quran
Or any other pseudosecular reason that you might care to name. It was plain and simple - an Islamic injunction that Allah will reward Muslims who kill kafirs, You know that of course. Why do you assume that everyone else knows that?
