Perception of Nationalism seems to have changed in last two years. Consider range of issues including hanging of Afzalguru, JNU or eating of beef, or inviting Pakistan artists or activities of NGOs, any one who opposes Govt policies is deemed to be anti-national. It was therefore natural that any one who questioned any aspect of recent " surgical strikes" would inevitably be branded as anti-national or pro Pakistan element. The fact of the matter is the PM maintained a dignified silence his colleagues have been very critical. Uma Bharti has stated that such doubters should be sent to Pakistan, while Meenakshi Lekhi has brand a well known defense analyst as an ISI agent and another spokes person has suggested that Delhi CM should be strapped on to a drone with a camera and despatched to POK.

 Infact, dispassionately if the situation is analyzed entire opposition including Sonia and Rahul from Congress also supported the Surgical Strikes and Rahul Gandhi even praised the PM. This has been disowned by Pakistan but we can understand. And moreover Pakistan took the international press to the site and The New York Times, Washington Post, BBC and CNN refuted India's claim of surgical strikes including UN representative,which brought severe embarrassment to us. Therefore when some leaders wanted to see the proof not because they disbelieved Indian Army, but they wanted to prove that that the Pakistan is wrong. But while this being the situation, the Govt's bold action on LOC is now linked to  UP and Punjab elections. Regrettably even the army has been dragged into the center of this. Had the Govt handled post strike phase with more care and less chest thumping, the gallantry of our soldiers would not have been eclipsed. 

As a matter of fact, it all started by the Govt's second rung leaders who credited the PM and the Govt, taking the cue, party workers went ahead with putting up banners and posters in UP and Punjab which are going to polls. It is natural that no opposition likes this and started questioning the authenticity. All political parties are playing politics be it natural disasters, rapes, riots, water disputes,etc. But please remember all of them unanimously say that politics must not be played on security and national issues but rarely do they walk the talk. There is no need for BJP leaders to become hyper sensitive and react acerbically. We are proud of our army and have faith and respect in its capabilities. Questioning the government in a democracy is not to be viewed as doubting or insulting  the army, it is questioning the government. And every electorate has right to know the truth. The Govt need not make the video coverage of the operation public. It can take the opposition into confidence and share the information to address their concerns and avoid prolonged public debate and drama.The most disgusting feature is, the ruling parties having brute majority on the floor of the house, do not respect the opposition, be it Central Govt or State Govts Ex- AP or TS . The ruling party wants that they shouldn't be questioned, but is it healthy trend in a democracy?

The BCCI's refusal to toe the line of Lodha Commitee's recommendations, is definitely in a bad taste, for the premier sports body. Hope good sense would prevail among the members of governing council, to accept the recommendations,and act accordingly.
  A worrying trend is emerging, first with Karnataka, disobeying the Court's order, to release Cauvery water to TamilNadu and second with BCCI ignoring SC appointed Lodha Committee 's recommendations.

If this continues public will loose faith in Judiciary, if Court fails to assert itself in these cases. The issue gets settled, and become meaningful only when it initiates contempt proceedings against both of them.  With regards to BCCI issue, I have read / heard some contradicting views on the subject, as some are of the opinion, that why should SC point fingers, only at BCCI, and not other Sports bodies? The Court can initiate, action against BCCI for their wrong- doing, but is it necessary, to decide the age, and the qualifications of members of the Sports Bodies and their Sub-Committees.? It is felt that the Lodha Committee report should be forwarded to the Govt of India, while the Govt should propose a comprehensive legislation including International Commitments of various Sports bodies, and place them before the Parliament. The Court shouldn't discriminate against BCCI alone. BCCI is well established and has done great deal of service for the Cricket. The Courts have so many issues and large volume pending cases etc and is it really necessary to spend so much time such issues?

Kudos to our Army for successful operation with no causality on our side.Modi and his government has answered its critics who have been saying that the Govt ,has no set policy on Pakistan.However every Indian felt that our hostile neighbour , Pakistan, will feel hurt and resort to take revenge ,in some form or the other.
  The Baramulla Army camp attack has come in less than a week,after Indian special forces, smashed about seven terror launch pads, during the surgical strike, across the LOC,in POK.With war clouds hovering over, the sub- continent, I feel, India should spare no efforts to be combat ready to give a fitting reply.
 Unfortunately  a section media, has held that SitaRamYechury's call to initiate political and Diplomatic moves were not in sync with the mood of the public..The clamour for war and the fear of war have produced some subtle shifts in domestic and political scenery,.Going to war and putting innocent lives, at risk is certainly not an option as War can not settle disputes.
 In a section of press,and on TVs, it has terrible to note and find, the prevailing War like situation , discussing military strengths, and capabilities of each country, and anticipated destruction , in the event of combat.The craving for War on both sides, is being fomented by indivisuals and groups, with personal and political interests.Stricly speaking there is need of War.While asking for war, we are asking our soldiers to sacrifice their lives.Instead we should show to the world that we can accomplish victory over Pakistan through non- military means.Our brave soldiers guarding our border day and night, know very well the cost they have to pay being there for the nation,It is our duty to honour them but that shouldn't mean for brutal war.
  But whatever it is,  Iam sure,  PM would leave no stone unturned in settling this issue ,through Diplomatic channels.
