PM Narendra Modi will remain in History as a brave Prime minister. He could do what the former PM Vajpayee could not do. No PM tried to cross the LOC which Modi did. he gave a befitting answer to Pakistan there is no doubt abut it.
The Army’s surgical strikes will sustain Modi’s claim to lead a decisive government and can put him in a different league of India’s notable PMs.Though his career ended in a defeat, A B Vajpayee displayed the political conviction in conducting Pokhran II. But Vajpayee, despite a massive mobilisation after the 2001 attack on Parliament, did not cross the LoC. Modi did.
But the immediate political task before Modi is winning UP Electins. It is important in the light of BJP’s defeat in Bihar last year and will be a morale booster PM Narendra Modi was upbeat when a senior minister met him . Reports that Army units had returned safely afterhitting+ terror launch-pads in PoK clearly buoyed the PM, who was under attack for not delivering on his tough talk.
The need to “teach a lesson” to the Pakistani establishment was being keenly experienced in the top rungs of the government in the light of inflamed public opinion following the Uri attack. “There is a need to impose some costs,” a BJP member said a day before the cross-LoC strikes, summing up the mood.
The action was instantly welcomed by party functionaries.for elections in Karnataka and Gujarat in the run-up to the 2019 LS polls.
The highly provocative strike at Uri, blamed on the Jaish-e-Mohammed, was a political test for the PM halfway into his tenure. The location of the camp within a bend in the LoC made it amply clear that terrorists could not have crossed over without the assistance of the Pakistan military .
Army chief made it clear that they were ready and prepared for the consequences. On its part Pakistan has shrugged it off saying nothing has happened and the soldiers have exchanged fire with light arms. The action was filmed by India and when needed the Government will release it and prove that there were terrorists launching pads across the LOC supported by the Pakistan army.
The border states along the LOC are kept on alert and people near to the border have been shifted to safer places to avoid any emergencies.
