By Manmohan Dhar.
It is now 18 years and the memories are still alive in the heart of every patriot.
Pakistan tried to stab India in the back, with all its military might, having nefarious designs on mind, to destabilize the biggest democracy of the world.
But the poor people never knew, or they forgot, that they are actually playing with fire.
If the self exiled military head and former President of Pakistan, Parvez Musharaf utters words like, ” hum ne chudiyain nahi pehan rakhein hein, Bharat hum par invasion kar ke toa dekhe. Ham Mayinmar nahi hein, Pakistan ek nuclear country hai” I am afraid he is living in a fool’s paradise.
India can teach Pakistan a lesson, if Pakistan dares to engage in a war with India.
But, India, being a peace loving country, will never succumb to the pressure tactics of a country which is undergoing a tussle, wherein Army and Civil authorities play hide and seek game. And even provoke India to indulge in a war, though not in a position to face the might of Indian Army.
What can one make out of the statements coming from the under trial Army commander of Pakistan, is no less than a mockery.
Anyways let us not forget the importance of 26/07/1999. The day when our bravehearts had to lay their lives in a war which was thrust upon us.
It was Pakistan’s misadventure, ultimately resulting in its defeat, which forced Indian troops to give a befitting reply to the enemy’s nefarious designs.
We should have all our felicitations, salutations, admirations, approbations, acclamations and commendations for the valiant soldiers who fought the Kargil war with glory and honour.
More than 500 bravehearts laid their life at the altar of their great country.
More than 13000 sons of the soil got injured in the war raged by our hostile neighbor Pakistan.
We ought to pay our deepest homage to these bravehearts and ensure their families that today and for ever, every Indian will remember these sons of the soil and the saviours of Indian honour and dignity.
Today, when we observe the 18th anniversary of Kargil conflict, we Indians proclaim and let it be heard loud and clear, as Gen. Suhaag had once said and I quote, “we will not let another Kargil to happen.” Unquote.
Any country which dares to enter into a misadventure with India, Will have to face the ever increasing might of “DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF INDIA”.
Pakistan fought many wars, lost them miserably and still refuses to learn lessons.
This can simply be attributed to the devastating political image of Pakistan in the world arena. Also to deviate the attention of it’s people from the deteriorating economic health of the country, which has almost brought Pakistan on the threshold of bankruptcy.
Otherwise a country which has already been broken into two, and whose further fragmentations are inevitable, would never think in terms of a war with a country which is huge militarily as well as economically. That is why, perhaps, it is said that empty vessels make much noise.
And if Pakistan, on the basis of it’s having some nuclear weapons, thinks that it can engage the world in a rhetric of being able to face India,”The Giant”, then in that case, it may have to think twice, in fact ten times before it enters into a war like situation with India.
Today if Pakistan can boost of self sufficiency, it is only in the field of militancy. Pakistan has become a safe paradise for terrorists and terrorist organisations.
Even America has recognized the inefficiency of Pakistan in dealing with the increasing terrorism perpetuated by the terrorist organisations having their roots in Pakistan.
America has cautioned Pakistan of further sanctions, after it blocked the $350 million aid to this terror friendly country, if it doesn’t mend it’s modus operandi in dealing with terrorism.
Pakistan dared kargil.
Paid the price and fled from the battlefield.
It dates war, now, ………
Well!! we all know. And Pakistan knows it too.
We salute the Kargil Heroes.
