Of course, that is not to suggest that India had no cause for anger. The sight of burning buildings and innocent people murdered is tragic and can scarcely be forgotten or forgiven. But a moment’s pause before laying the blame at Pakistan’s door and reaching for the gun would have allowed Delhi time for reflection and, perhaps, to ponder why Pakistan should continue to patronise terrorists of the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) variety who now form an integral part of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and blow up our police stations, schools and hospitals, kill soldiers and innocent civilians, only so that they may, now and then, visit similar mayhem on India.
