The Dates are announced, Venues
are finalized stage is set. Lights Camera Action….
The countdown began nine months
before on this blog is done. The Ideal code of conduct is in place and campaign
reaches crescendo. The lead actors, behind the scene directors, not stage
actors, light and sound people have taken their positions.
The plot was set much before but
plot has taken interesting turn after Pulawama attacks followed by Balakot
Strikes. Not that one should politicize the National Calamity/event but the
fact still remains that current Political leadership has made it count. The
resolve to attack Pakistan on its soil is path breaking and needed all
political support which unfortunately was missing. Opposition bravado which
followed exemplary line to support Government fell apart after few days. The
usual noises jaundiced by their hatred to Modi, undermined national interest by
challenging Indian Air Force on the strikes, appreciating Imran Khan’s role and
doing everything to harm India. No need to name these noises. But as a patriot,
it was a different experience for the first time that India acted and not stuck
to usual rhetoric of condemnation etc. International community though was
firmly behind India. That was not the case with International Media which
somehow has strange habit of safeguarding Paki Interests and ridiculing India.
