Pathankot Gurdaspur border is a tough terrain with water bodies and has section where its not fully fenced.
These sort of attacks helps to plug the holes and rearrange security apparatus.
Freedom fighters will be mass produced and will be exported as its hard to find a job and these uneducated get easily manipulated and they are quite expendables.
All you need is .. teach them shout louder/harder , teach them how to fire bullets and send them across to kill people or get blown for their masters and attain heaven.
Then the next batch comes.... its a constant process ..... all for freedom ...since decades and will go on for some more time...
The issue now is.. if a whole batch of freedom fighters are dispatched then the waiting period for the next batch will take some time as the next batch will need time to grow up as those guns are too heavy and climate and terrain too harsh for the kids....
Hence freedom fighters will be coming every now and then in small batches and they will be attaining freedom from the face of the earth in regular intervals.
