Description
Two recent events have thrust India's security into the spotlight, raising important inquiries. The first incident involved a Naxal attack that claimed the lives of ten District Reserve Guard (DRG) personnel and their driver in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada. Meanwhile, in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district, a terrorist assault orchestrated by seven individuals from Pakistani nationalist groups resulted in the deaths of five Army jawans. These incidents compel us to examine India's security challenges comprehensively.Drawing from his experience in Naxalite-prone Sukma, Chhattisgarh, Abhishek Bhalla highlights the gravity of the situation, stating that it surpasses the perils of Kashmir. The discussion between Abhishek and host Dev Goswami further explores Pakistani terrorism, the Line of Control (LOC), the Kashmir situation, and China's involvement. The timing of these attacks, ahead of the SCO meeting chaired by India, where Pakistan and China will participate, raises significant concerns.Furthermore, the impact of such attacks on the reiteration of the ceasefire at the LOC is a topic of examination. With the Pakistan Foreign Ministry suggesting the potential for an all-out war with India, Abhishek cautions against disregarding the ceasefire if even the slightest possibility holds true.Join us for valuable insights into the pressing security issues facing India.
