EXPOSURE OF A MINDSET


A stranded Pakistani soldier on the Line of Control identifies himself, yet receives bullets in response. He looks at the soldiers, their uniforms and then realizes they are not the ones who are trained and groomed. They are just a group of frustrated and desperate men unaware of the Geneva Convention Laws or do not bound to it. Their minds are so much poisoned that human and moral values do not matter. They are not bothered to commit actions which may be considered heinous crimes.  They are not conscious of any accountability rather expect to be praised for immoral acts. Why do they forget that in the past many Indian straggler soldiers were returned safely by Pakistan Army. Even when a helicopter landed in the Pakistan territory with Indian officers on board, they were safely allowed to go back. What a reciprocation of our kind and large hearted gestures?
Martyrdom of our soldier should be a lesson to all about the hollowness regarded to the sanctity of international laws and values in the Indian Army. What should be expected of such a neighbour who holds a slogan of ‘Aman Ki Asha’ in one hand and a gun in the other?
