Like all my fellow countrymen I salute and express my gratitude to the Armed Forces for the well conceived, planned and executed Operation Sindoor. This time Pakistan went one cut too far in its pursuit of its foolish thousand cuts policy, and this measured, mature and responsible response from our forces had become unavoidable. This has avenged the great tragedy suffered by innocent Indians at the hands of mad terrorists. Jai Hind, Jai Hind ki Sena.
However this valorous action by the forces must not bring a false sense of closure. This is only half the battle won. There are enemies within too. Without such traitors such daring terror acts would be well nigh impossible in an area as highly militarized as J&K and elsewhere too. It will be recalled that even after the dastardly 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai, there was a talk about a mole, popularly termed Pakistani Honey Bee, in New Delhi. The mole was never found.

After Pulwama attack too no culprits have been brought to book thus far. A police man, Davinder Singh, was caught but we don't know whether he was found guilty or not. He has simply vanished from the news space.
Catching these moles and traitors amongst us is squarely the job of the political leadership in the government. The continuing failure to apprehend and punish them imposes a heavy cost on the country and our brave forces. The forces have done their job in an excellent manner, and now it is for us, the public, to prevail upon our government to show similar deftness in catching and punishing the guilty within. Remember that those who do not actively oppose the evil around them, effectively become part of them and just as culpable.
Let the drums of euphoria not drown the desperate cry for apprehending and punishing the guilty within.
