India is raving: Kill most wanted enemies in Pakistan

If US can, India can too?



Pakistan has warned of "disastrous consequences" if the US stages any more unauthorised raids in its territory. Obviously, Pakistan’s warning is also targeting its old foe India.

A great discussion is going to heat up in India in the wake of Osama bin Laden being killed in Pakistan soil: Why can’t Indian troops stage a cross-border raid like America SEALs to capture Dawood Ibrahim, Hafeez Saeed and others who plotted bloody Mumbai bombings?


Most wanted: Dawood Ibrahim (L) and Hafeez Saeed:

As the world rejoiced over the killing of Al Qaida chief Osama bin Laden in a US commando action in Pakistan, Air Chief Marshal P V Naik today said India too has the capability to carry out such surgical strikes against terrorists but did not elaborate.


"India has the capability," he told reporters here when asked whether India can undertake surgical strikes against terrorists similar to that by the US. He, however did not elaborate.


The statement assumes significance as there had been demands after 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that India should carry out surgical strikes at terror camps in Pakistan.

For over two decades, India has warned the world of the dangers of terrorism coming from Pakistan. But few is optimistic about India has the ability to copy America-like cross-border action in Pakistan.


India simply does not have the wherewithal to execute back ops. This is truer in terms of intelligence and planning, rather than the capability of special forces themselves.


Moreover, Pakistan is not a country with rag-tag armed forces. Any move to insert and later extract special forces deep inside Pakistan through helicopters, like the US did to eliminate Osama, will have to contend with robust air defence networks and combat air patrols geared to shoot down "enemy" aircraft.

With military bases, logistics, over-flight facilities and ongoing operations in Pakistan, the US faced no such hurdles. In the India-Pakistan context, it would be tantamount to declaration of war. A "surgical strike" would, in all probability, lead to a war-like situation, with Pakistan always being over-eager to brandish its nuclear weapons.


The next terrorist attack in India will bring a chorus of calls in India for American-style action. The scenario at top may become real. The true question comes next, what will Pakistan do? In the American attack, Pakistan did nothing. In the Indian case, it’s unlikely to sit idly by.
