Whole article starts with the assertion that Surgical strike was a fact. It is only the opposition leaders & their media friends who questioned the strike.Now finally it has been accepted. As far as its strategic value it is too early to make any comment about it. We will know the Strategic value only when some more time has elapsed. One thing is certain that the launching pads have been shifted well away from LOC to keep the safe from Indian Strikes. It give our security forces to monitor the movements of the infitrators trying to infitrate.
.. continued from previous .. 2. The larger and Strategic aim is not stated as per Shekhar Gupta's own writing in this blog. Then how does he conclude that strategically the 'surgical strike' was a failure? 3. Terrorists' lives are not as expendable to Pakistan as Mr. Gupta thinks. The loss matters to them considerably and in more ways than one. 4. They do not have unlimited resources, unlike what Mr. Gupta will have us believe. They do have their limitations for sure. 5. Drones are not entirely ineffective even against a good air defence system, which in any case our adversary doesn't have. Drones do have technical and tactical measures to improve their survival-ability. - Wg Cdr Parasnis (Retd)

please don\'t expect much more then rediff mail, coz they can\'t accepet the sucess of Surgical strike becouse its done by BJP gvt. ;)
The credibility of this Govt. is sinking fast. The paid media inserts such topics as surgical strikes and writers like Shekhar Gupta's analysis of it an year after, are clear indicators of this. Why does this Govt. require the help of such writers? Modi has to realise than India is not Gujarat. He better deliver than speak. Good governance needs to be seen and not announced. What has really changed except for the headlines of scams? If at all there is one, it will come out only after the CAG announces it. Amit Shah could be the first casualty. This is just the beginning, unless Modi goes into election mode once again. Of course, it will not be as bad as the Congress, but still I can say governance is not good. Probably Modi has eaten more words than he could chew.

So it means you accepting that Modi is better then previous government - ''it will not be as bad as the Congress'' Then why not you want to give some time to Him also. 60 years of Backlog you want to done in 5 year ;) If it not happen then again go in 60 year rulers
PM Modi and his obedient ministers say that the surgical strike was successful. Let us therefore put our faith in the Government version and not of the world at large.
