Helping the enemy!

Yesterday, Indian media has reported that our army personal had crossed LOC and helped Pakistani army in rebuilding their bunker:

"Then our jawans crossed over (the LoC) and helped them reconstruct their bunker", Col Hemant Joneja of Army's 15 Corps confirmed to The Indian Express.

I was wondering whether our soldiers have lost their sanity!. How can they help our active enemy in building a bunker?, who till date continues proxy war against us and who aids & abets terrorist acts on our soil, despite our peace overtures. In the first place, whether our soldiers forgot the purpose & significance of a bunker?.

Well, my worries over our soldiers sanity was put to rest by clarification from our Indian Army:

"Indian soldiers did not reconstruct any Pakistani Army bunkers," an Army spokesman said on Thursday, clarifying that the soldiers had gone across unarmed to give Pakistani soldiers picks and shovels to clear debris.

"Our soldiers responded to shouts of help from across the LoC," the spokesman said, "in no case scenario can Indian soldiers help in rebuilding enemy bunkers."

Well, its another matter that our media went ga..ga.. over this incident, wrote about new hope or something similar. Perhaps its my naivety to expect our media to be sensible, Specially who doesn't know the difference between a militant & terrorist.

It could be a truly benevolent gesture or a media stint on our large-heartedness.

Either way, it really doesn't matter.

I also read in news paper about this incident, this is not the time to show their angery.

When we help people in need, like civilian earth quake victims in POK, then no doubt its a benevolent gesture but when we want to help a army which runs terrorist camps across the LOC & uses these bunkers to provide covering fire to assist terrorists to infiltrate LOC and refuse to accept their existence, even after photographic evidence of these camps. And also which aids & incite terrorist acts like yesterday's first ever women suicide bomber in Kashmir at peace time, whose intention was to kill as many army personal as possible then when you consider all this, it is naive on the part of our army personal to do so.

Well, if it really doesn't matter as you perceive then Pakistani Major General Shaukat Sultan wouldn't come forward personally to give clarification on this.
