Uri Attacks : How can PM Modi respond to Pakistan?
India woke up with a very unfortunate and sad news of 18 soldiers martyred at Uri in a very coward attack by terrorists. Indian government has been under heavy pressure as this is the second major attack after Pathankot.
There have been huge protests across the nation against such attacks which has been demanding a strong action from the government.
Here are some of the options on how Indian government and PM Modi can respond to the Uri Attacks.
1. Surgical Strikes :
A quick surgical strikes on the terrorist groups inside POK can be an option. This move can also backfire if situation gets out of hand.
It has to be done quickly as the window of the attacks shrinks with time passes. The locations has to be very precise as even a single civilian causality can create backfires.
2. Attack on Pak Posts without clearing LOC
India can attack on the enemy bunkers with the use of air strikes without crossing the LOC. It can also trigger some reaction from opposite side which can create causality on Indian Air-force.
3. Strategic Missile & Rocket Attacks
The bunkers at a higher distance can be taken care by Missiles like Bramhos which can target up-to 290 KM of radius. The rockets also can be used for short distance targets like 90 Kms. This has to be very strategic as Pak Air-force has been on their toes against Indian Army.
4. Operation Parakram II
The Indian government can increase the protection at the entire BSF region connecting to Pak borders to ensure further safety and stop infiltration. This was done back during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government in 2001 but according to experts, this won't be very effective move.
5. Isolating Pakistan on world forum
This is what Indian PM Modi has been trying to do during all his foreign conferences. Produce the proofs and try isolating Pakistan at every high level meeting possible. This has been happening from past which has not helped India to avoid such terrorist attacks.
6. Continue Peace Talks
India can continue the peace talks with Pakistan at the dipolmatic level. This move won't be seen as a very good move by Indian civilians nor pakistan civilians after continued terror strikes on Indian soldiers. This will politically be a very wrong move for PM Modi.
It is notable that Russia has called off their Military joint practice with Pakistan soon after the Uri Attacks, which comes as a positive signal for India. France has also openly supported India on every anti-terror steps being taken.
PM Narendra Modi's real ground test will be this action which he takes against Pakistan which will will decide his real 'strong leader' image.

We will miss Sachin Sadly : Pakistan Team
Even the Pakistan team could not resist themselves praising Sachin, before the Indo Pak series, as they spoke about sachin during their net practice at Bangalore
Pakistan captain Md Hafeez told, "We will miss Sachin sadly though we have been looking forward to play against him in this series. As a nation and players, we feel sad that Sachin has retired from ODIs ahead of this series, as he had his debut in international cricket on Pakistan soil (1989). The world will miss his artistry on the field as he has been a great entertainer of the game,"
He also added, "We admire the man for his sheer domineering character who rattled all types of bowlers around the world. We all can praise his efforts to excel in international cricket. There is no doubt that he is a genius. We wish him good luck for the future,"
Sohail Tanveer said, "I enjoyed bowling to him because the margin of error was so less that he could dispatch even good deliveries to the fence. Words are not enough to describe his achievements for India. He deserves the highest respect from the cricketing world,"
Umar Gul said, "India should be proud of having a great cricketer like Sachin, whose presence in the team over the last two decades had inspired a generation of players and contributed in nurturing young cricketers like Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina. I am sure many more like them have learnt a lot from him"
Pakistani Young batsman Umar Amin said, ""I played against India in 2010 Asia Cup in Sri Lanka, but unfortunately Sachin wasn't there. I would like to say only one thing that if cricket is religion then Sachin is god,"
