Old saying: Way to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Some advocating removal of #AFSPA as a 'goodwill' gesture, same ecosystem advocated removal of #AFSPA even in valley before 2016 violence.
Keep #AFSPA, ensure it is not misused by anyone.
Probe & act in a transparent manner.
Some are passing judgment without all facts being in public domain. Let facts emerge, including details of intelligence inputs & operations.
Did vehicle not stop when directed to? Did occupants flee when challenged? Let Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe reveal all facts 1st.
In the past reported forces being removed from pockets of 'south Kashmir' as a 'goodwill gesture.' There were headlines too. But soon terrorists exploited the vacuum & more soldiers were killed trying to reestablish rule of law in those pockets.
Goodwill gestures wont bring peace
Top retired Generals & Intellectuals have advocated declaring victory & removing #AFSPA. They may still do so but facts on ground narrate a different story. Same ecosystem will emerge to peddle the same agenda. Dive deeper & explore their motivation. Till then... probe & act fast
Is #AFSPA coming in the way of current investigations?Yet clamour for its removal.A certain ecosystem attempting to exploit current situation to peddle a certain agenda?
Why should army be forced to work in an area without an 'enabling Act'?
Protest if case not probed effectively
A 'Religious Organisation' appears to be getting active in the anti #AFSPA campaign roping in 'influencers' & senior veterans to create a wave seeking removal of the Act.
Interesting days & weeks ahead. Why should a foreign 'religious organisation' be interested in Indian laws?

We didn't know better then. As we celebrated cricket, Gen @P_Musharraf launched #Pak Army into #Kargil. Dec 18, 1999 Capt Nadeem & L/NK Laikjaan & others were sent on reconnaissance patrols. We gave Pak cricketers a standing ovation, Pak Army firmed up defences on Kargil heights
530 Indian families lost a son, a brother, a husband, a soldier in the #Kargil war. In the months preceding Kargil, #Lahore bus journey was hailed as a game changer that would herald an era of peace. Pak sent one team to Chepauk, another with Assault rifles & Arty guns to Kargil.
We could have been fooled then but now we have access to information even from #Pakistan. The architects of the plan Gen Musharraf, Lt Gen Mohd Aziz Khan (CGS), Lt Gen Mahmud Ahmed (X Corps Cdr) & executed by Maj Gen Javed Hasan, (FCNA) & Brig Nusrat Sial (62 Bde Cdr) #FactsFirst
`Victory of Muslims over Hindus,' Pak cricket captain Mushtaq Mohammed after 1978 test series win. (Don't just blame Pak interior minister Sheikh Rasheed. It is #Pak DNA. Understand it.)
India's aim should be to isolate #Pakistan till it remains a state sponsor of terror.
Why would #Pak bring in religion into #Cricket? Whether it is '#SheedaTalli' @ShkhRasheed or #MushtaqMohd,Pak cricket captain who in a cricket series after close to 2 decades called Pak victory over #India victory of Muslims over Hindus: coincidence, happenstance or enemy action?
Is @ShkhRasheed a lone looney linking #Pakistan cricket team victory to #Islam? Is it only #MushtaqMohd who called #Pakistan cricket team victory in 1978 victory of #Muslims over #Hindus. Another gem from another Pak cricketer about namaz offered on ground. Know their mindset
#Amnestyinternational has had a rather dubious role in #India. It's funding & activities have been repeatedly questioned by both UPA & NDA governments. Former PM Manmohan Singh had red flagged the NGO during #KudanKulam nuke plant issue. In fact in Feb 2014 UPA froze it's funding
In 2009 #Amnestyinternational had #FCRA issues. Even under NDA rule Amnesty funding remained rather opaque. @dir_ed probed dubious fund flow pattern. RBI put Amnesty in prior permission category due to suspect funds flow, acc to the #Govt. Even during UPA funding was suspect: BJP
MHA had #Amnestyinternational funding looked into & concluded that Human Rights cannot be an excuse for defying the law of the land.MHA said in order to circumvent the FCRA regulations Amnesty UK remitted large amounts of money to 4 entities registered in India classifying it FDI
Approx 18 Crore vaccinated in India. 3rd highest after USA (26 crore) & China's claimed numbers: Dr VK Paul. India's vaccination pace fastest claims Dr Paul. Requests pls ``take pride'' in this achievement & laud the doctors & nurses who achieved it. Calls it national achievement

Just how often do we want to be stabbed in the back & bitten by a venomous snake in the neighbourhood?
Pakistan is virtually bankrupt, they are importing wheat, Pashtuns & Balochs are up in arms...1/n
Pakistan's troubles will only increase as their economy collapses. China will extract its pound of flesh. Pakistan's aim is to establish a proxy in Afghanistan. This sham of peace gesture is only to concentrate on that border. Pak wants strategic depth again. #Balakot exposed Pak
Pakistan will peddle peace tamasha till it is sorted out on other fronts. If it can withstand US pressure on Afghanistan (despite US losing so many soldiers, Pakistan continues to support Haqqani Network, Taliban Quetta Shura) it won't sort out #HafizSaeed#MasoodAzhar#LeT#JeM.
Stunning allegation!!! Former Mumbai police commissioner Parambir Singh shoots off a letter to CM @OfficeofUT. Alleges #SachinVaze collected money for Anil Deshmukh. Tasked to collect Rs 100 Cr per month. Breaking on @IndiaToday. Does #ParambirSingh a serving top cop have proof?
@IndiaToday's @mustafashk accesses #ParambirSingh's letter. It has a virtual guidebook for collection of 100 crore a month. 1750 bars, restaurants and other establishments in Mumbai. Collect Rs 2 to 3 lakh from each. Rs 40 to 50 crore monthly achievable. Top focus @IndiaToday
And @Dev_Fadnavis demands @AnilDeshmukhNCP's resignation. Says @OfficeofUT should remove him. Have either central probe or court monitored probe. Allegations made by senior serving police officer apparently with evidence. And says CM was informed by #ParambirSingh. On @IndiaToday
