RIP to Jawans.

Terrorists responsible for this must be searched for and buried alive after month long torture.

Is BSF under Home ministry or Defence ministry ??

Gypsies are more than two decade old. Government should provide them new armoured vehicles.

Militant seems to have increased their activities, according to one newspaper, this is the fourth attack on Indian security forces this week.

This is the fourth attack on security forces -- second on BSF personnel -- since August 11. Six persons including five security personnel have been killed and several injured in the violence.

As our PM said when these thugs dnt have capability to fight face to face war, only option they have is proxy aka terrorism.

Soon terrorism in J&K will end same as it ended in Punjab.

Whatever happened in Punjab is completely different to what's happening in IOK, it's an indigenous freedom struggle that's been simmering for several decades and despite India stationing several hundred thousand troops there hasn't managed to contain it, what makes you certain that you will be able to end it.

Well, Indian newspaper reports suggest to that effect.

Indian BSF soldiers injured in cross border firing undergo treatment at the Government Medical College in Jammu on 11 August.

RIP to the soldiers.

Indians should really be concerned more about their mess than commenting on Pakistan's problems.

 

[kaykay]

soon these terrorists will be lying in some unmarked graves.

Only way to do it is purge everyone related to those terrorists,leave none alive.
Decimation,collective punishment should be used, you shelter any terrorists your village, house gets bombed should be the message.
Once this happens, Terrorists will find no safe havens and will ultimately be killed or caught.
Deny them a place.Public executions should be carried out.
Tianmen Square style executions should be carried out.How did China clampdown on those pro-democracy forces in 60's the same way we can eradicate this menace.
Enough of soft power approach,use this approach and see the results.

As for the BSF JAWANS, RIP!
