Shekhar Gupta's "pet" so called (u can chk with defence journo community in Lutyens for the usage "so called") pet journo, in his brain- manufactured a narrative as to how India need to stop glorifying soldier's death....well he need to give up whatever he has been smoking lately

Am not analysing that trash piece as it doesnt even merit one; but there is a need to put facts on the table..as per various chatters- intercepted and analysed- Pak Army has lost more than 50 soldiers & around 100 have been incapacitated since January..of which 5-7 were officers

Stories of machinations, subterfuge, devlious propaganda employed by Pak Army need no introduction and is well documented.

I have been analysing stories & found the news items of 3 documented deaths of Paki soldiers this year...matches with what Paki mouthpiece said as well

But then there is more to this https://twitter.com/alok_bhatt/status/1259476252202844161?s=19 than what meets the eye- @RadioPakistan had @SMQureshiPTI on record when he accepted that during April month alone 36 of their men (civil and military) embraced shahadat.... does this mean that in 19 days, 34 more died?? Well

So let us dig further: during the month of April 2020, Pakistan issued only one demarche (12th April) on Indian HC - a day after DGISPR gave this update (pic 2)..next one came on 6th May (pic 3)..so they were trying their best to hide but then moron @SMQureshiPTI spilled d beans

Actually they lost heavily thru the month but never bothered to own their deads of as most of the dead ones were soldiers of Sindhis, Balochs, KP, Gilgit areas-what i call their "CANNON FODDER" communities..death in their set up means Punjabi officers- only lucky ones r owned up

Sample this pain expressed by a Paki where he can be seen mentioning as to how only Punjabi martyrs of their fauz get protocol- while Balochs, Sindhis, Baltis, Pashtuns etc are used as cannon fodder..well for our @adgpi anyone wearing their uniform and colors is enemy-rightly so!

Between Jan and Feb- they issued 4 demarches on Indian HC....of which 3 of them were in April alone.....surely Indian army must have killed or injured their Punjabi soldiers....or no of dead cannon fodders were becoming too hot to handle....

Story during March and April wasnt different either as Indian Army was giving them befitting reply and killing their men inside their territory...all they cud do was to issue demarches or use their non state actors inside JK to attack CI teams...so what had changed..

What changed was implementation of Offensive Defence strategy by PM Modi's confidante NSA Ajit Doval; who tasked Gen Rawat- then COAS & his Cdrs like Gen AK Bhatt & Gen Ranbir Singh to take the war inside enemy territory...all after he beefed up surveillance capabilities of Army

Buoyed by massive ramping up of Surveillance capabilities; Indian Army was not only seeing inside their territory but had orders from Gen Rawat (with leadership backing) to use the gun powder and trigger at will and basis inputs..India and its doctrine in Kashmir changed forever!

Surgical strikes & Balakot were examples of that only....Gen Rawat made sure that men posted at borders discontinued all unwritten pacts (to fire only @ d time of infiltration & not at each other)-officers (majority of them) wanted this but few black-sheeps dont like this....

The doctrine actioned on the ground by Gen Rawat has not only been continued but is now being expanded by Gen Navrane- his successor and to bad luck of trolling vets, he is now working on his new mandate- of using Def budget judiciously, effectively and efficiently...

Rawat hating vets, their brats & journos working for arm lobbies outside India know that with Gen Rawat at the helm of affairs, their money making opportunities are set to dry up & all free jamboories to chk on foreign equipments will also end ; so all that pain shows up in hate

ThePrint journo- NOTE tht changed doctrine means our bravehearts in forces will perform & few might fell to enemy bullets also & grateful nation will always glorify them & will ensure that every drop of their blood is avenged.

Sadly,ur Saab sponsored trips is thing of past now!
