There is no other option for Narendra Modi government, but to continue its military operations against Pakistan, simply because it would mean total surrender if it opts for no war, especially in the aftermath of the capturing of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who carried out air patrolling drill to repulse Pakistan Air Force aircraft that violated the Indian air space.
This exactly is what the opposition parties led by Rahul Gandhi of the Congress want which would shame the Indian government for reaping political dividends in the run up to the Lok Sabha elections.
It is a shame that, for the first time in Indian history, the opposition parties are speaking Pakistan's line, in total contrast to the opposition parties including Jana Sangh, who stood rock solid behind Indira Gandhi's government, when India had a war with Pakistan to free Bangladesh from its clutches in 1971 war.
In fact, Indira nominated Atal Behari Vajpayee of Jana Sangh for negotiations with India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
It is payback time, especially for Rahul Gandhi.
If he doesn't, Congress is buried in 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
