Explosion near Red Fort: At least 9 dead, several injured in blast

PM modi said

"says those responsible for Delhi blast will be brought to justice"​


Probably only court procedure this time. Sad if true, and this government will goes in the direction of UPA if this is the planned response.

Too early to doom in my opinion. Even the government knows that it has pretty much landed itself in a corner now with it's posturing. As I mentioned in my previous post - we have been challenged, our posture has been challenged - if GoI shies away, it pays a huge political cost. The question that we should really be asking is, whether we will do the needful and ensure longterm deterrence or back out midway as has been the norm.

Indian diplomacy will pursue to put them in FTFA gry list. That's for sure. Kinetic action, not sure about it.
 
GoI no way can respond to Pakistan kinetically. They made a statement that kinetic option will be prompt and that window is already gone.it was a lesson learned in ops sindoor . It can be a trap by uncle Sam to rollback netaji's stand towards Trump in ops sindoor. Will be limited to pest control at home.

That will embolden Pak further if it gets away challenging India, especially when we have been in the offensive posture since May.

Even though we all would appreciate a prompt retribution, we need to understand how Babus work. Let's see if Pak makes it easier for us by doing what @Hellfire alluded to in his post.

Our mainstream media is doing it's bit -

This shows the intent and the general psyche of the country as a whole.
 
Have made some assessment keeping the important point that there was 3 passengers in the car when the explosion happened.... But the latest info confirms that there was only 1 person in car..... So this may not be accidental blast ...

When all their Colleagues and Explosives were found out by the police
One Guy panicked and exploded his Vehicle.

Along with himself of course

Just to ensure that they could achieve at least something

Trying to clean 0.5 is a game of whack-a-mole! You cannot win this. Country wide crackdown and you get 40% of them, that too if you are lucky. Real percentage will be even less. There is a very clear correlation between Munir landing in trouble and attacks on India - this has been proven. Add to it the fact that he wants to be sole commander of Pakistan (including it's N-stockpile) should pretty much tell us what he intends to do. That's the head of the snake. What's embolden'd Pak is the fact that US is behind them, they think they can get away with anything. Given the current posture that India is maintaining, this is an open challenge to Indian leadership - we attacked, now let's see you do what you want to do! They have the implied security of Trump behind them - that's something that has to be broken. This is the direct fallout of the 10th May CF when we were pretty much on the top, we squandered the opportunity (like I have said in the past, we never miss an opportunity - to miss an opportunity). We are dealing with a Jihadi in uniform who understands one language - force. We have to get rid of him & in the process, ensure that Pak's military capabilities are close to non-existent this time around. That's the only way to establish long term deterrence.

Let's not make the same mistake of overthinking this - there is no shortcut to solving this problem. It has to be solved with force and strength.

We have lived this in 90's and mid 2000's. There used to be announcements in public places to be aware of strange goods, children were told not to touch any strange toy/objects in public places, tv ads used to be there with repeated warnings. So for us this is not new. Every year there used to be such horrifying incidents, bad to say but the nation was used to it.

If Pakistan has restrated their Qurban Ali doctrine then it's not a good sign and it requires some measures. They have done so because you gave them chance to do it.
Guys.. you did not get my gist. Let me clarify.

1) Dismantling 0.5 does not mean nuetreralising every radical. But it means demolishing the network and infrastructure that enables it. For example: The University in question today. If you look at pressnote by J&K police.. they pointed out to white collar network and funding network under social cause. This network needs to be dealt with.

Demonetization helped in 2016. But now the network has evolved with crypto and digital currencies. We need update in our tools to fish them out. Israeli partnership becomes very important here. You take away their money.. many of the traitor who facilitate these activities for money and power will be useless.

2) Scream, I am asking you to cool down because of the information warfare. The War has actually started already. It's happening in cyber domain as we speak. Wether it's through info warfare, cyber attacks that must be happening. And being prudent means.. that this isn't the end. PM has used the word "Shadyantra" unlike earlier during pulwama to pahalgam. And it was not a political rally speech as BJP spokesperson. But a statement issued as PM of INDIA. It has implications and hidden caveats.

For us, it looks like soft tone. For the ones who are behind this... it will signal different message. And I don't know why, but I smell America being the real orchestrator here. Pakistan is just a tool that has been asked to do it. Just like attacks in Afghanistan.

Weren't we all saying that our doctrine will be tested. What's to give that govt wasn't expecting this, if normal citizens like US were? Just the SIR announcement had rattled the ecosystem leading to findings of 150-200 bombs in WB. Bangladeshi fleeing back. Let's assume they were innocent who were fleeing due to fear of being found out.
But what about those who infiltrated with a maksad. They would rather do a fidayeen attack than flee or get caught. Hence I said.. not just military but agencies have been maintaining high vigilance. And it's not over. Murshidabad is just one node/module that has now being uncovered. But all our capitals are on high alert. And I bet IB, NIA, police have increased the intensity to uncover other modules. That's why next few days are very important.


4. And I believe this is the most important part. Pakistan is imploding. Munir is facing challenge from all fronts. At this time.. the decision becomes very important.. to follow the provocation by Munir and go hard kinetically or turn the attention in eradicating 0.5 network.. buying time and at same time making Munir's dilemma even more challenging.
Things can go multiple ways.. but it can't go unanswered. Either you dismantle the network inside and then focus on western front or you go in for kill. As mentioned above by defcon.. there's a huge political costs attached to this decision. And we all are waiting.

And I believe when we discussed about Trump, I mentioned how the answer from Indian side will start after Bihar elections. It's over .
