India Taking Extra Precautions After Osama Incident.

Cornered Pakistan may strike India to
salvage lost pride May 6, 2011, 06.23am IST TNN [ Josy Joseph ] NEW DELHI: Deeply
embarrassed by the US raid
that killed Osama bin Laden
under its nose, the Pakistan
army might be tempted to
ratchet up hostility towards India and even encourage
the terror proxies it controls
to stage strikes on the
Indian mainland, the Indian
security establishment
feels. The Pakistan army is having
to deal with not just the
disbelief of foreign
governments over its claims
of being unaware of Osama
being in Abbottabad, a crowded city with a heavy military
presence, but some hostile questioning at
home as well. Its claims of being able to
thwart any intrusion – protecting sovereignty being the army ’s USP – have been dealt a hard blow by the US action. There is a view that the Pakistan military
may look to recover lost prestige by
diverting popular attention towards India
and army chief Ashfaq Kiyani ’s aggressive response to Indian Army chief V K Singh ’s claim that India could stage an
Abbottabad-type operation indicates as
much. In a statement, the Pakistan army
said it would respond strongly to any
Indian "misadventure." It serves the Pakistan army’s purpose to feed popular paranoia about India and
the possibility of Islamabad’s "nuclear jewels" being under threat. A flare up of
regional tensions can help turn the
spotlight from its failures at a time when
US law makers are asking why another
dollar should be paid to an ally who might
have harboured Osama. While opening the terror tap at a time
when its reputation as jihad central
stands highlighted in bold is a risky path
to tread, militarists may be guided by very
short term calculations, security sources
feel. Keeping in mind the unsettled state of
affairs in Pakistan with analysts agreeing
that India would top the list of Pakistan
army and ISI targets, the Indian security
establishment is being doubly cautious to
ensure that it does not provide any excuse for Pakistan to seize on to up tensions. The present position of the Pakistan
army, the country ’s most powerful institution, also rules out possibility of an
immediate military coup. As recently as
10 days ago, an assessment here spoke of
the growing restlessness in the Pakistan
army top brass with the political
leadership. There were also inputs indicating ISI chief Lt Gen Ahmad Shuja
Pasha may have written directly to prime
minister Yousuf Gilani expressing
displeasure over some politicians for
criticising ISI. "A coup is extremely
unlikely in the present situation," a senior official said.

I don't think so.
With what are they gonna attack?? Their radars don't work, their jets can't find two BIG choppers, they can't confront enemy on their land.
Indian media is just creating hype.
I wonder if yesterdays news of voilation of cease fire in Poonch sector is actualy true or Indian Army was mocking at the potential of their counterpart...
