Now that the heat has cooled down post India’s definitive and strong response to the covert acts of violence by our neighbour, it is time to really thank our jawans and combat personnel from the Army, Navy and Air Force. Every Indian will surely want to express their gratitude to all those were in the front line to defend our nation and congratulate the administration for a befitting and courageous reply to the heinous act that took place in Pahalgam. At the same time the one most important question that remains unanswered is, “How did the cowards reach Pahalgam “ Did we fail as a nation to protect our borders and our people?" While taking credit for the response to the attack, the government should also take the blame for the lapses that claimed so many innocent lives. A high-level investigation should be initiated to find the real reasons. Or should we concede that the reply we gave Pakistan was a cover up for our lapse? Years ago, a great Indian leader resigned as minister after a train accident that killed many. Will someone follow suit, or keep finding excuses?
