It seems we are becoming wiser after what happened in Abbotabad where Osama was bumped off and buried in the sea by the US Navy SEALs. There is a clamour why India can't undertake similar operations against those operating from Pakistan's soil. Good Question. None has answered except Union Home Secretary G K Pillai who explained that India is a neighbour of Pakistan and will have to see the consequences of such an adventure. He seems to be right. After all, Pakistan's non-state actors raided Kargil and country lost hundreds of our Jawans in 1999, then the same non-state actors hijacked Indian Airlines aircraft to Kandhar in and succeeded in getting dreaded militants released, in 2001 they raided Indian Parliament and in 2008 what happened in Mumbai is known to all. Don't we have non-state actors who can do the same in Pakistan ? Perhaps no. The top IB, RAW and other intelligence agencies tell us that I K Gujral ordered the destruction of all such modules working in Pakistan for India when he was PM and Vajpayee was busy hugging Pakis for a Nobel prize. So, the big question is - Do we need Navy SEALs commandos to kill Dawood or other 50 dreaded terrorists wanted by India. The government is singing in three different tunes -- Home Minister P Chidambaram talks something, External Affairs Minister S M Krishna speaks something else and the PM singing the Vajpayee tune. Of course, Advani may blame UPA without realsing what happened when he was Home Minister in the NDA regime for 6 years himself. The pro-active policy was buried deep under.
