The main headline in the recent issues of newspapers is the death of Indian soldiers at LOC. It is a high time in the border area as the bilateral relations among India and Pakistan are being strained in the due course of 4-5 years. While talking tough, India suggesting a flag meeting at the LOC with Pak to sort out the issues is a good move. Killing of soldiers and mutilating their bodies is barbaric.
A point that must be discussed is that the recent skirmishes between the armies of India and Pakistan have evolved a lot of emotional responses. At the time when war between two countries is real, New Delhi has displayed maturity by suggesting a flag meeting. Any full-fledged confrontation will cause incalculable damage to both the neighbours heavily and will bring immense pressure on the countries already struggling with insurgency and adverse economic growth.
No doubt, efforts at peace are important but to display calibrated aggressiveness on the premediated attacks by Pak is the need of the hour. Already India released proof regarding the killing to the Pak army. It released pictures of landmines allegedly planted on the Indian side of the LOC by the Pak troops.
To protect our nation's self-respect and to safeguard its people an immediate reaction is required. Peace efforts with the hostile neighbour will be meaningful only if it is made to understand that the reaction from India will be swift and more punitive.
