Pathankot terror attack must be avenged

We must keep calm and shouldn not let the peace process go awry because of such cowardly attacks. These attacks are undertaken by terrorist elements supported by the Pakistan Army who do not want friendly relations between India and Pakistan.

Let cool thoughts prevail and let the attack not deter us from the path of friendship. Amen.

I agree. I agree hundred percent with these sentiments because these are our ethos. We must weave a future that is rich, safe and joyous for our next generations.

But keeping the peace process alive and acceptable to the people also requires that the coward Jihadi terrorists, whatever name they have - Jaish-e-Mohammed or any other, must meet their funeral soon.

They need not live any more. They cannot be allowed to be protected and sheltered by Pakistan. They must be smoked out and bombed. Let us do another Abbottabad, if we value our friendship with Islamabad.

Friendship must be addressed and nurtured at the friendship level. And terrorism must be tackled as the situation demands - fiercely and ruthlessly. It should be on the lines of what we did on the Myanmar border with NSCN(K) terror modules.

It is understandable that terrorist groups are working to create hurdles in the peace process. Should we allow them to do that? They have their guides and local help available. Why can't we pin them down? Their coordination is done using communication system and they are fed, sheltered and armed by someone in India.

They are not alone. It's not just Jaish-e-Mohammad, but they have links with the ISIS too. We must learn from Russian President Vladimir Putin who did what was needed to be done to eliminate the threat to Russian sovereignty.

Pathankot is not only an attack on a city. Like the attack on Parliament was an attack on India, the attack in Pathankot is an attack on our nation. It's a war on India.

The mental slaves would look the other way though. If you don't feel an attack on your son is an attack on you and your home, you are not fit to be called a father or parent.

If we don't feel the pain of our soldiers and their families and their friends like us, and keep on repeating the same old words which have lost all relevance and impact, we are not a nation.

If we have any relation with our brave boys who join the armed forces to safeguard our motherland, we must be immensely pained and angry at what we saw at Pathankot.

And remember, it's not a Hindu-Muslim matter. It's a matter of us and them. Us are the lot of Indians and them are the whole lot of foxes waiting to die at our hands.

This is the time to have a stock check and let a refreshing new anti-terror policy be put to action. This is not emotionalism, neither are Indians getting foolishly sentimental. It concerns our sons and daughters and it concerns our lives.

Since long, we have been troubled with terrorism and it looked, once, as if we might have to learn to live with it. Terrorism looked unending, till the rise of Narendra Modi. Now must be the time to begin the end of all that has been bleeding us.
