Ridiculing National Security
By Lt Gen Prakash KatochThe political rhetoric and drama that followed the recent episode of a Pakistani boat that was chased inside India waters, intercepted, chased and blew itself up would have put any country to shame. While there were stalwarts who professed their expertise on the colour of the flames of the burning boat, the Opposition, in particular the Congress, went overboard in trying to portray the whole incident was either fabricated or the boat was only undertaking smuggling activity. This could have perhaps been digested if Pakistan was just about beginning her terrorist activities and not waging proxy war against India for over past three decades. But then was the fact that the Coast Guard press briefing had categorically brought that the four occupants of the boat were dressed in T-shirts and shorts and did not look like fishermen. …the whole incident was rigged up was not only in poor taste it showcased to the world disunity in India’s political fabric to face terror.
