Sir,
This is apropos the assertive opinion of Army Chief, General Bikram Singh that India cannot afford to vacate the strategic heights which are currently under our military jurisdiction for striking a deal on Siachin with Pakistan who is not a trustworthy neighbour but does have a foxy mindset. Our arch rival and a proven potential threat for the internal as well as external security has been probably acting on the dictates of China. They have definite expansionist designs to outrage our territorial integrity.
China has already usurped our substantial area after 1962 unprovoked military misadventure. We have to be, therefore, extra vigilant based on our past experience, track record of Pak-China nexus to take undue advantage of our liberal humanistic approach for causing ultimate irreparable damage in terms of national policy and strategic alliance disguising as genuine ambassadors of international peace.
The prevailing political scenario in the country projects no semblance of mutual faith, cohesion and stability. The principal stalwarts of the ruling alliance appear to be disaligned to play a pivotal role to take the hapless people together for emergence of an awakened and empowered India. We get into the trap of Pak assisted by his so called saviors and mentors to carry on the process of peace talks but under the clout of our soft approach coupled with our being mired in multidimensional scams and hydra hooded corruption, they engage in accelerating their low intensity terror war, create Kargils and dig out underground tunnels on the borders. We have to focus on streamlining the internal disturbance by plugging all channels of the anti-national elements as the first priority and then avoid slipping into well laid out net of China and Pakistan for ultimate survival.
Yours etc…
