India's launch of the military spy satellite RISAT-2,yesterday,was a milestone India should have strived to achieve much earlier.Now that we have done it,we must use it exclusively to monitor terrorist movements into our Sacred Land.
It's really amazing that we never thought of the need to have such a satellite earlier,even though pakistan's game plan of pushing hardcore terrorists to India started ,as a state policy in the early nineties.
Many say that the satellite is Israeli build.So what ?
It's hard to digest why parties like the Left criticize India's defense relation with Israel.Sure India needs to be sympathetic to innocent Palestinian citizens.But surely this should not in any way come in the way of India trying to secure herself.India should take help from all possible Countries to defeat India's biggest threat,that is pak sponsored terrorism.
As I mentioned above,it's hard to logically fathom why there is criticism,but then it's very obvious what the motive of those who oppose India's defense ties with Israel is..
Communal politics..
It's all about getting some minority votes,nothing else.It's absolutely not about any sympathy for the suffering Palestinian people..
Now coming back to the topic of the satellite,it is supposed to be an all weather eye-in-the sky, capable of sending detailed pictures of objects as small as cars, even in the dark.If this is true,let's hope we make good use of it and use the satellite exclusively for military purposes to defeat the nefarious activities of pak.
I found it really astonishing that there was no LIVE coverage of the launch.Is this because it's an Israeli made satellite?
Actually India should have been really thankful to Israel.National security demands that petty vote-bank politics should not influence our thought process.But then in our Country which political party cares for the Nation?
-NONE-
To understand the real danger India faces,one only needs to have a look at any of the news channels this evening.Most of the channels are running a news item on some 100 militants belonging to the Lashker-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen managing to slip into Jammu and Kashmir in recent weeks.
The Line of Control in Kupwara and Baramulla along North Kashmir and along Rajouri in Jammu region had witnessed over a dozen infiltration bids in the past three weeks.
Official sources said despite engaging terrorists at various places, nearly 80 ultras managed to enter through Shamasbari range into Bandipore area in North Kashmir and hills of Rajouri in Jammu division.
All those who criticize India accepting Israeli help for our defense enhancement should realize the grave danger we as a Nation is facing from such large-scale and blatant infiltration from pak.Who knows,may be hardcore taliban terrorists also might have sneaked into India.So we very badly need to have better surveillance capabilities and the spy satellite launch is a very small but a giant leap towards that end,hopefully...
There will always be some doubts about the degree of effectiveness of a satellite as a tool in the fight against terror.But then it's better to have some thing,than having nothing at all.The most important factor is to have better weapons,gadgets and all other much needed facilities to be made available to our brave soldiers who are fighting our enemies day and night under extreme conditions..
