SURGICAL STRIKE BEFORE PRESENT PM

ANOTHER CONGRESS LIE

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

On 5th May 2019 a former Major of ‘Romeo Force’, one of the Counter Insurgency Forces (CIF) stationed at Kashmir, went on social media to share his thoughts on the 6 surgical strikes claimed by Congress.

This is what Major Sudeep Singh had to say:

When I opened yesterday’s newspaper, I found a smiling picture of our former PM Manmohan Singh with the caption - “Surgical strikes had happened in our time as well”. In today’s newspaper I saw Rajiv Shukla sporting the same smile and even listing out the dates and places of the surgical strikes.

This made me recall an old story.

When I was newly commissioned in the army, then as per the tradition I was made to tour all posts of the battalion. One such post was where our bunkers would stand eye-to-eye with the enemy. You could only walk to the post at night. On reaching there I fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Next morning, I woke up to a surprising sight. While our men were dressed up and on guard within the bunker, a Pakistani Subedar was nonchalantly brushing his teeth out in the open and spitting the water in our direction!

I asked him - “The situation has heated up but you don’t seem to worry?”

He replied - “Yes it has, but after all, we will be the ones to fire the first bullet.”

I retorted - “Why? Can’t we make the first strike?”

The Pak soldier responded - “No. Because if you do that you’ll be court-martialed, but if I do that then I’ll be awarded medals.”

My army friends will know what I am talking about.

Good that you (Congress) clarified that surgical strikes had happened in your time as well. A more apt term would have been ‘cross-border strikes’. Let me tell you without any inhibition that the surgical strikes were not done by you, but done in spite of you!

We did those strikes even when Government had snatched away our right to send a strong response to our enemies. Even when our hands were tied. Whenever we complained that the enemy is audaciously crossing the borders, attacking our battalions, beheading our soldiers and taking the heads with them… and asked - can we avenge the deaths of our friends who were dining with us until yesterday?

We got the same reply - “No such orders from higher authorities”. After such replies and in our frustration, we took the risky path of carrying out those ‘surgical strikes’ by ourselves.

I would request young determined lawyers or journalists to get to the bottom of these claims by Congress and find the truth -
Did the UPA Government support the army and sanction those strikes?
Or did they reprimand and punish them for giving the enemy a befitting reply?

I felt sad after reading the news and hence decided to share my two cents on it.

You can access his video message (in Hindi) on Facebook in the footnote link below.

In addition to this, three former Chief of Army Staff (COAS) have gone on record to claim that no surgical strikes were carried out or requested or sanctioned by political leadership before 2016.


Two of these COAS commanded the Indian Army in the period 2010 - 2014. Congress has claimed five strikes in this period!

To summarize everything that I’ve seen, read and heard:

  • Indian Army has carried out several cross-border operations in the past but they always met with friction from higher authorities under previous governments. They felt that their hands were tied. Moreover, none of those operations seem to be ‘surgical’ in nature.
  • The term ‘surgical strike’ refers to a specific type of cross-border operation which is new in Indian context and has been popularly carried out by Israel and USA in the past.
  • This confusion of terminology is important. When some army men talk about previous strikes, they are not necessarily talking about the surgical ones but cross-border operations in general.
  • While I’ve come across no army man who doubted the authenticity of SURGICAL STRIKES under PRESENT BJP GOVERNMENT, many ex-army men have questioned the authenticity or intention of Congress’ claims of surgical strikes in their times. And this speaks a lot.

The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years.

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A.

F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...
