Indian Air Base at Pathankot under attack by gunmen.

During attacks in Pakistan ISPR also releases updates only once or twice a day.

There's a difference between issuing statements and tongue waggling, which earlier happened while the fire fight was still in progress. No, this is very unlike the Indian psyche.

 

[lightoftruth]

Punjabi/Seraiki speaking kashmiris In Indian kashmir must be a new type lol

What funny is ppl still buy the good cop( pak govt) bad cop (non state actors) BS and ride on that Aman ki asha train.

They are blind that this train has crashed and their are Indian causalities.

Added to that feel happy when you shoot your own drone as well . Now coming to the point May be the government don't want to sabotage the peace process by naming anyone that could be a reason bcoz apart form the chuthiya media no one in the government is naming anyone

You still think that was a Pakistani drone.

 

[noksss]

Can't say.
May be one of the terrorists blew himself up.
That should be a reason why the reports say the body of 2nd terrorist being located unde the rubble.

That could happen even when IA blew up the building . What is puzzling is if the operation took long so that we could capture the terrorist alive then what happened is not good bcoz we haven't captured them . If it took long for some other reasons like hostages or assets then blowing up of the building doesn't make any sense so the question is why did we engage this guys for a long period ? I guess we might get some clarity once there is some official confirmation

 

[Star Wars]

Terrorists did not get to their intended targets and completely failed in their objectives. I am not worried about the Time it took, just worried about the lives we lost...


AS for everything else, stop the speculation and ignore the media entirely, lets wait for the official word..

NOW WILL ALL THESE CONDEMN UJC ACTION and SAY THEY ARE SABOTAGING PEACE TALKS???


Separatists welcome PM Modi’s surprise visit to Lahore | The Indian Express

Separatists here welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lahore on Friday, with moderate Hurriyat Conference chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq terming it “a positive move” and hardline faction leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani saying they have no objection to improved relations between India and Pakistan.

“We do not have any issues with relations improving between India and Pakistan… No right thinking persons shall have any reservation on it. However, the two countries have to address the Kashmir issue as per wishes and aspirations of the people if these endeavours are to succeed,” Geelani told PTI.

Moderate Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said, “Modi’s surprise visit to Pakistan is a positive move. People of Kashmir welcome any opportunity that bring India and Pakistan close.”

Meanwhile, Abdul Gani Bhat, head of Muslim Conference, a constituent of the moderate Hurriyat faction, said his party supports the resumption of dialogue process between India and Pakistan.

“Muslim Conference pledges support to the resumption of that is now termed as comprehensive dialogue to resolve all disputes, including of course the dispute on Kashmir, and consider this development as an effectively civilised means to move out from the frozen yesterdays to a peacefully productive tomorrow,” Bhat said.


Separatist, mainstream leaders welcome Modi’s Pak visit
The Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani told PTI: “We don’t have any reservation to improved ties between India and Pakistan. We do not have any issues with relations improving between the two countries. No right-thinking person shall have any reservation on it. However, the two countries have to address the Kashmir issue as per the wishes and aspirations of its people if these endeavors are to succeed.”

Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq termed the Modi-Nawaz meeting as a “positive step.” He said he was hopeful that the two leaders would “show political will and press the Kashmir (resolution) button now.”

“It’s a good development that the leaders of two nations have started meeting and talking. It’s a positive development and we welcome it,” he told Greater Kashmir. “We now hope that the two countries show political will to resolve all pending issues, including the core issue of Kashmir.”

Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik could not be contacted for his reaction as he was under detention in a city police station since Friday afternoon.

Reacting to Modi’s Pakistan visit, Chairman of Democratic Freedom Party, Shabir Ahmad Shah, said there should be a result-oriented dialogue between the two countries on Kashmir issue. “Until the issue of Kashmir is resolved, there will be no peace in South Asia,” he said.

Off course man when we Indians have a big heart to accept the pigeons have at least a small heart to accept a bigger object like drone

 

[Hellfire]

Sure, may departed ones rest in peace - but entire Indian Establishment would be on its toes now. 6 terrorists were a little too much they could handle. This secretly also reveal capabilities of Indian defence forces.

Doubt it. Remember the infiltration occurred towards the accommodations of personnel. One has to be slow and careful. Ham handed approach would be counter productive and more costly.

 

[Spring Onion]

unfortunate incident at a wrong time. RIP the dead and we Pakistanis condemn this terrorist attack in India

UJC is the congregation of different Kashmir terrorist groups. LeT and JeM are part of it.

And based in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and trained in terror camps in Pakistan by retired and serving army personnel from the ISI's 'S' Wing! The whole wide world knows it!

 

[Spring Onion]

India has a free media so they need not fear military repercussions for fake news so they are free to spread their opinions.

Indian media is warmongering industry. pity that your media had always came up with wrong information and lies whenever any such incident happen in India

 

[rockstarIN]

Good assessment spectre.

You're right that some traitors on our side were in involved.
Remember Ranjith?? The spy who was arrested from Bhatinda airfirce station few days back?

True. There's already a debate going on about it , whether youngsters should be given security of Air Force stations. The peripheral security of the Air Force station is DSC's (defence security corps) responsibility. We lost 6 DSC soldiers, most of them in their 50s.
Garuds are nothing but QRTs (quick reaction teams) and this was Garuds first outing. I am assuming they need more operational experience- peace keeping in Congo and accompanying others in J&K isn't enough. Albeit, NSG did a fine job.

@Abingdonboy @PARIKRAMA @SrNair @rockstarIN

First I thought we are taking much time, but then I came to know that it is so big and lots of people living there--it is not an easy task. It is such a small city as I once visited such area in north India. Garuds did not disappoint but their numbers are very less (a total of 3000+? and deployed all in stallions of IAF) We should strengthen the DSC + Garuds should get armored vehicles instead of Gypsies to move around since the area is vast.

The style of fighting has changed, Garuds should get night vision. And the DSCs to carry not just AKs but grande/and launchers. In close combat, the attackers has upperhand when they use grenades.

@Indian members: Are all Terrorist neutralised or operation still going on?

Appreciate your statement. I also rue the fact that when the nations are ready to work together, there are elements who want to derail the peace between the two. Lets hope that despite and inspite we continue to work together and improve on it to face the common enemy - terror. Irrespective of the garb of Kashmir struggle or not, terror in all its forms must be denounced.
