Such strong words on Kathua attack, will India repeat Balakot again?

New Delhi: On Monday, heavily armed terrorists ambushed an army vehicle in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, in which five soldiers were martyred. There were ten soldiers in an army truck who were attacked with grenades and high-tech weapons. The terrorist organization Kashmir Tigers, associated with the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed based in Pakistan, has taken responsibility for this attack. There is anger in the whole country after this cowardly attack. The next day of the attack, a strong message was given by India and it was said that the sacrifice of the soldiers will not go in vain. The Defense Secretary said that the martyrdom of the soldiers will be avenged. The army’s operation is going on to find the terrorists and put them at the right place. After the Kathua attack, India has told through strong words that whoever is behind this, it will not be spared. In such a situation, the question is also whether India can repeat the story like Balakot again?

Kathua will be avenged, warned
Defence Secretary Giridhar Armane said on Tuesday that the death of five soldiers in the Kathua attack will be avenged. he/she said that India will defeat the evil forces behind it. Giving a strong message after the attack, the Defence Secretary said that the country will always remember the sacrifice of these soldiers and their sacrifice will not go in vain. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was furious over the cowardly act of Kathua and said that the army’s operation against terrorists is not going to stop. It is not hidden from anyone how these terrorist organizations get support from neighboring country Pakistan. In 2019, India taught Pakistan a lesson through Balakot air strike after a similar attack (Pulwama attack).

Has Pakistan forgotten the Balakot air strike?
More than five years have passed since the Indian Air Force entered Pakistan’s home on 26 February 2019 and carried out the Balakot air strike. This big and unexpected action of the Indian Army gave Pakistan sleepless nights. Even today, after five years, Pakistan is afraid of taking on India directly but does not refrain from adopting its old tactics. India took revenge for the Pulwama attack by crossing the Pakistani border and not PoK for the Balakot air strike. The Balakot air strike was the answer to the Pulwama attack. The Indian fighter plane also dodged the radar system of the Pakistani Air Force and bombed the terrorist camps in Balakot. Through this air strike, the Indian government had given a strong warning to Pakistan. India had given the message that if you tease us, we will enter your home and kill you.

‘This is a new India, it does not bear the wounds of terrorism’
It was just a few months ago, before the elections, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that this is a new India and it does not bear the wounds of terrorism. During the last two terms of the Modi government, whenever Pakistan talked about talks, the government made it clear that terrorism and talks cannot go together. In recent years, the army has hit hard against terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. Vigilance has increased on the border and now terrorists are not able to enter the Indian border easily. However, Pakistan’s nefarious attempts continue and many times they also succeed in infiltration. This has happened once again.
