“Let there be a surgical blow without Tom taking it to avenge the martyrdom of the five Jawans. It is not a good sign that five of our jawans are killed at once, ”said Sena, who was part of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Democratic Alliance (NDA) until last year.
The country has forgotten about the Kashmir war due to the war situation triggered by Covid-19, but Pakistan has not, Saamana’s editorial said.
