Not surgical strike but a response stronger that, NSA Ajit Doval ready with a plan

In the aftermath of the massive terror attack that killed 26 people in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, the government of India is getting ready to respond to the same. Media reports have it that Pakistan may be involved behind the cowardly and barbaric act of terrorism and the Indian government is planning a major action against Pakistan. Here are all the details you need to know.

For those unversed, several terrorists killed 26 tourists on Tuesday in a act of terrorism, causing panic across India. However, now, it has been reported that India will not do a surgical strike as a response to the attack. Rather, India will take a step more dangerous than surgical strike.

As per a report by TV9 Hindi, Ajit Doval is preparing to respond to Pakistan under a new strategy.
During a famous speech at the Shastra University in 2014, NSA Ajit Doval had publicly clarified the strategy of ‘defensive offense’ against Pakistan.

As per him, India’s approach towards terrorism has been mainly defensive, and the approach needs to change. NSA Doval had also indicated that India should attack Pakistan’s internal weaknesses like the anger against the Pakistan army and the Baluchistan liberation issue. Notably, experts believe that Ajit Doval’s counter-attack plan may include a long-term plan against Pakistan and not just a surgical strike.

Rajnath Singh talks tough on Pahalgam carnage

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday dropped enough hints after Centre’s contemplation about the ‘multi-pronged’ crackdown on the Pahalgam attackers and their terror networks that operated from behind and said that they will see India’s ‘strong retaliation’ very soon.

The Defence Minister said that the perpetrators of ghastly terror attacks in J&K’s Pahalgam will not only be punished but their ‘handlers’ will also face the heat.

Speaking at the Arjan Singh Memorial lecture ceremony in the capital, Rajnath Singh said: “We won’t only punish the monsters who carried out this act of brutality and barbarianism in Pahalgam but will also go after those who operated from behind and conspired to unleash horror on the Indian soil.”

Highlighting India’s zero-tolerance on terrorism, he said that India would not get intimidated by such acts of terror and this would only intensify the country’s campaign against it.
