This blows the hole in indian propaganda of kashmir being peaceful or kashir on backburner.This is the 2nd attack this week.

Seems like some correlation between ceasefire violations from across the border to these attacks. No surprise here.

Easy escape route to blame home grown revolutions on outsiders.really no surprise in indian attitudes here.

 

[KRAIT]

Don't see this same logic applied when the case is reversed.

Anyways, the Jawan has to be rescued. I pray he will be safe and return to his family.

Not to mention the hundreds of Panchayats who have resigned through fear..........or may be they are on ISI payroll.

As for the hostage jawan he is combatant.send in the negotiator to know the demands first.

Well, Indians make tall claims that they don't negotiate with kidnappers, i highly doubt Ansar Burney would be available here.....let's see how this one works out.

Great words from great people. Playing politics on abducted soldier. Last time when TTP kidnapped Pakistani soldier, I expressed my wishes that they return safely to their family and didn't make any stealth snide remarks. Next time, I will remember these statements said by the people here on Indian soldiers.

We all know who is trying to say what ? Carry on guys.

Could you please explain as to who is trying to say what.

We are discussing India's problems. Where did Pakistan come in to it.

And also could you please explain as to what is stealth snide.

My dear, there is a world of difference between what the likes of TTP want to implement and what's the root cause of insurgency in IOK....the life or death of one soldier is not going to make any difference but it does highlight the problem and the core issue which needs attention.
