‘We don’t think twice before pulling the trigger, we know Delhi is with us’

If you actually read this thread it wasn't me who changed the subject and the first one to divert the topic on the border situation was an Indian who brought up the US and its relation to Pakistan. My original point was why is the policy between Indian/Pakistan so different to the one they have for China.(Which seems pretty fair for this subject or not?).Meaning this whole DELHI being behind the Indian army is total BS
Because Pakistan is not china and china is not a terrorist state. They have a govt with whom we can talk. The agreements would be abided by both countries. Pakistan doesn't abide by shimla accord and other agreements.

It’s 4 degree Celsius, but BSF constable Vijender donning a bulletproof jacket, which weighs around 16.5 kg, and holding a 4.5 kg gun cannot afford to drop guard even for a second. Vijender, who is posted at the zero line along the International Border at Samba in Jammu and Kashmir, has two troubles — ceasefire violations by Pakistan and possibility of floodlights going off anytime.

BSF officials said power cuts were frequent in the borders areas, which means floodlights and other search lights might go blank for a few seconds. There is a power backup, but that takes time to be activated.

One of the forward posts right along the zero line runs on generator throughout the day. “We are on constant vigil but if the power goes then we have to be doubly prepared. This because when the area plunges into darkness, there are chances of infiltration attempts. They are just waiting to cross,” said another BSF constable posted in Samba. The Indian Express visited one of the border outposts in Samba where BSF personnel said in this cold too, they were putting up in morchas, which only had tin roofs as cover. There is a morcha at every 50 metre along the 192-km long IB.

Officials said Pakistan has not installed floodlights along its border. “They have hardly put any floodlight or search light on their side. Erecting floodlights will defeat their purpose as there are continued attempts to infiltrate from their side,” said a BSF commander who did not wish to be identified. “For the past two days there is zero visibility at the border due to fog. We are not complaining… at least our condition is better than our colleagues posted in Kashmir valley. At times like this, the pressure is more to be on alert as Pakistan has initiated new round of firing,” said company commander Hari Lal.

District Collector Mubarak Singh said the BSF has power backup in the border areas. “Sometimes due to unforeseen situation the power supply can go off. But, the BSF has an alternate supply plan. Nobody can guarantee 24 hours continuous supply as sometimes situations occur, which are beyond control,” said Singh.

The border personnel also say there has been a marked difference in their response since the NDA government came to power. “Earlier if any of us was killed, we were asked to show restraint and not retaliate much. The man sitting on the border kept waiting for permission from seniors. Now, we don’t even think twice before pulling the trigger. We know Delhi is with us,” said the BSF commander. BSF DG D K Pathak too said the government is supporting the force like never before. “All the senior government including the National Security Advisor is in constant touch with us. The death of every border personnel is a personal loss.”

I am quite sure that we would have lost Kargil had the Congress govt. been in power at that time.

LOL 7 Indians have responded to me. You guys are so predictable
 
Good. Because Pakistan Rangers know precisely what language to communicate in. Don't need no orders or floodlights to do that.
 
No way...we have 180 mil Indian muslims..we are balanced in allaha's favour and we also have Christians and Jews
..So we have an advantage over you..we have all prophet followers here...Maybe you guys should be more secular to gain gods favour...
ha ha ha :lol::lol::lol: man this is too good
 
you took over 60 years just to achieve the same per capita income as Pak...that a good example?
I have to say both countries are so arrogant and not realistic about the situation we are in. Someone should start a thread (too lazy) that shows the brutal realities of our situation and how most of our people live (Pakistan/India) and hopefully that would make us less arrogant.

Policy remains the same. However we don't have terrorists coming to India from China, unlike the border with Pakistan.
Also, the Chinese avoid firing shots.

per capita income LOL , just Google to find out difference between India and Pakistan in trade, export, reserve, patent filed , higher studies, transportation, telecom, industry, IT, pharma, tourism, and many more. What you have excelled in Terrorism,sectarian, radicalization, mullah, organisation like Taliban, TTK, LET, LEJ,etc.
 
Its really good to see jawans on the border having faith on teir govt.. this is very important for the motivation.. godspeed to bsf
 
read about it sir please. there are priorities and we need to build up our industry and stop load shedding it is out of hand..

I think we need to cool down a bit. The interview was said by a Jawan , and not by a BSF spokesperson , and with that, it is his personal point of view. Pakistan do have energy crisis, and we read about it in PDF too, and not all international borders have Floodlights.

As from Indian Point of View, we need to stop infiltrations in the name of Kashmiri Jihadis coming into our country, so we need it.
From Pakistani PoV, there is no infiltrations into Pakistan, and hence its not needed. Simple priorities of their respective armies.
