Killing of 5 Indian Army Jawans in the Poonch Sector

We had a firing incident this morning and 5 Indian Army jawans were killed. This is the 57th ceasefire violation in the year 2013. This happened around 400 metres inside Indian territory.

The army spokesperson this morning mentioned this morning that our Army patrol was attacked by the Pakistan Border Action Team along with 20 terrorists and in the ensuing firefight 5 army jawans were martyred.

The Defence minister in the parliament mentioned that the firing was done by 20 terrorists along with people dressed in Pakistan Army uniforms.

India has called the Pakistan High Commissioner and India lodged strong protest.

The opposition leader said the country and the army had to undergo the humiliation because of the weak and indecisive government at the center.

Questions

1) These are highly protected areas and how did so many terrorists cross the LOC and get into the Indian side without support of Pakistan border forces ?

2) Why does the Defence Minster say that it was people dressed in Pakistan Army uniforms and not Pakistan Army? Was this done to show Pakistan Army in good stead? Why was that important? Is this to ensure that the supposedly planned talks at secretary level in September happens?

3) How did the terrorists and Army get into the Indian territory and go unnoticed?

4)  Doesn't BJP remember that within few months of the Lahore declaration, Kargil happened and that Parliament attack happened during their regime? So does that mean that they were weak and indecisive?

5) Do we have to politicize everything in the country? From the Uttarakhand tragedy to this one, why doesn't our opposition parties behave so cheap. I am not blaming the current opposition party alone, this applies to every party which is/has been in the opposition.

6) The LOC is fenced and electrified and connected to sensors/thermal imaging devices. Then how did the infiltration go unnoticed? For that matter how does all infiltrations go unnoticed when we have the electrified sensors with all those high tech devices to track any movements

Summary

It is high time we restart our covert operations wing under the RAW which was shut down by IK Gujral.

We should also retaliate strongly whenever such ceasefire violations happen from the Pakistan side. However, the response should be restricted to that region alone. No one wants a full fledged war. That is what will ensure these such incidents are stopped.
