Shekhar Gupta gives his game away in the seconf sentence of his piece: 'The first of these is being presented by the military establishment at the say-so of the political leadership.' He fails to establish, anywhere in the article, his hypothesis that the Military establishment in its explication of the operation acted at the behest of the political leadership. Thus his claim is a pure innuendo, indeed a sordid canard.
The surgical strikes have indeed been happening for a long time. Whenever an attack takes place, a suitable counter-retaliation happens, except that the Indian Government for strategic reasons cannot announce them publicly. It is because of the brilliance of the Indian Army that the terrorists have only only been managing very very limited success. But the cowardly burning of 20 young innocent soldiers proved the last straw for the Army that in a pride-salvation motive they chose to make it public. I think they should have done more strikes till the last traces of cross-border camps were eliminated. We erred more on the side of pride-salvage than on the side of statesmanship. Jai Hind!

Presstitute Shekhar Gupta and his Anti national Tweet
Shekhar Gupta is a journalist associated with NDTV, who was previously associated with Indian Express and the India Today group. He has grabbed the limelight lately for his controversial tweet on the arrest of ISIS supporters across the country. See his tweet below.
Rising arrests of ISIS "sympathisers" makes u wonder under what law can u arrest one for mere "sympathies" with bad guys & what evidence. — Shekhar Gupta (@ShekharGupta) January 23, 2016
Why make an halla gulla about the surgial strikes. If the Govt of India has said, that surgical strike has happened, as an Indian National, one must not question the Govt and make it a political issue. Our Netas have become, such an stupidious people, they eve sell our country for a pie.

It is not questioning Surgical strike.. they are questioning effectiveness of it after one year.... what objective it has achieved
What was the purpose of this writeup other than showing your journalistic brilliance. A few suggestions/ hints to help the military in taking decisions would have been helpful.
nonsense article...if modi says china myanmaar and pakistan surgical strikes have destroyed these countries then we must accept that as a nationalist....
in fact pakistan has agreed to unite with india and become akhand bharat again...the modi govt is going to announce it soon...those who dont believe are frustrated anti nationals and are welcome to go their home country pakistan...err...akhand bharat i mean...
