Myanmar operation: Parrikar takes a dig at Pakistan

[El Weirdo]

Pakistan’s Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan had warned India that his country cannot be cowed down by the threats from across the border.

Attributing the Myanmar operation to “change in mindset”, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar today took a dig at Pakistan, saying those who “fear India’s new posture” have already started reacting.

“If the thinking pattern changes, lot of things change. You have seen for the last 2-3 days. A simple action against insurgents has changed the mindset of the full security scenario in the country,” he said addressing a seminar in New Delhi.

Defence procurement procedures

He was speaking on the need for simplification of defence procurement procedures, which, he said, required a change in mindset. The Minister refused to go into details of the operation and declined to take questions on the military action.

Pakistan’s Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan had on Wednesday said, “Pakistan is not like Myanmar” and warned India that his country cannot be cowed down by the threats from across the border.

Mr. Khan’s statement came in response to Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore’s remarks that military action in Myanmar to hit back at rebels who killed 18 soldiers in Manipur was a message to other countries. Mr. Rathore’s comments were interpreted as a warning to Pakistan. “Those having ill designs against Pakistan should listen carefully that our security forces are capable of matching response to any adventurism,” he said.

With the knowledge of Myanmar authorities, the Indian Army had undertaken a successful cross-border strike that killed at least 38 insurgents who were part of the groups believed to be responsible for the June 4 ambush that left 18 soldiers dead.

Pakistan interior mister believe that the operation inside Burma was carried out by India but the **** fan boys cant digest it . Living in delusional world and a sense fake superiority complex!!

Frankly, he ought to refrain from silly word wars like this. He is the defence minister, a constitutional post. It is unbecoming of the post, for him to engage in this. He should let actions speak. He did that to the Naga/manipuri militants. If he wants to intimidate Pakistan, do something on the ground that will actually scare them - like properly equipping all the ground units, having sufficient airpower, etc. The sight of one RAPID on the ground will send the message more effectively than a few verbal threats.

I know that the previous DM was guilty of zero communication or response, but the present DM should not try to overcompensate for that and talk too much.

Modernize the armed forces quickly, in the next two years. That is the best way to scare potential enemies, not by soundbytes on TV.

As the article states, he said it in response to a statement from Pakistan's interior minister, not any spokesperson of LeT or HM. In any case, the minister should talk using the armed forces, not using press conferences. If he envisions doing a cross border strike against LeT or JeM, he should do that, rather than hint at it. Like he did in Myanmar.

We are modernizing the armed forces quicker than Congress has done for 50 yrs. Keeping silent all the time and producing no results only makes us look bad. Time for our leaders to speak up and out. Im glad. Let's give Pakistan something to talk about
