Pakistan must instead concentrate on its internal issues like the Taliban that is eating up the entire nation.
This is a warning for the Indian government, ISI/Pakistani Army is sending over terrorists and this is a cover fire like many before this. UPA Government is sleeping at the wheel, wake up India and kick it out.
Our Government keeps announcing that Pakistan violates cease fire arrangements and keeps firing on our troops in an unprovked situation. If that is so, I do not know why our army does not retaliate in such ferocity that they silence their guns once for all. The subdued responses are not understandable by the common Indian. Perhaps a befitting response can happen only in the dreams of common Indians, as long as our leaders are unable to understand what is right and what is not and stop kissing the butt of minorities.
Like clock work here it comes again. Standard Pakistan's ploy to create an "event" to convince the USA that why it should ask Indian forces to pressure India to pull back from the border so the Pakistan can transfer its army to Afghan border to allegedly fight terrorist. Of course, Pakistan army is either incapable or incompetent( or both) to fight Taleban etc. Again, very predictably , US will fall for this ploy of Pakistan. It will thus reward, as usual, the bad boy Pakistan for is misdeeds with another pacifier of some kind or another. More the things change, more they remain same. From every bad behavior of the last 5o years, Pakistan always manages to convince USA that it is being a altar boy. This I am not surprised, but what astonishes me is that every US administration falls for this trick.
The militants have entered India.The blasts are round the corner.
Pak Government ( which practically always means Pakistan Army) cannot be relied upon .US and UK are supporting Pak Government=Pak army because they are willingly being blackmailed by Pak Army on Afghanistan -Taliban war support. India cannot rely neither on US nor on UK . We have to depend wholly on ourselves which may ultimately prove out to be a blessing in disguise . US ,UK have no permanent freinds they have only their own axes to grind. The coming in of Obama has so far made the things worse in south Asia
This unprovoked firing and cease fire violation has come almost immediately after US asking India to move forces back. This shows that Pakistan in fear that they will have to move back their forces to north-western front against Taliban, ther are creating a tension (excuse) to keep their forces busy against the India borders. Pakistan has been playing this game for a long now and now even a small kid understand this. They just do not want to fight the real terror and Talibans with whom they have signed up a contract. I am sure US will too.
