Our armed forces have shown time and again that they won't tolerate any mischief from across the border. But we must also focus on development in J&K - jobs and education will dry up terror funding better than bullets. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

While I appreciate the MLA's strong words, I wish politicians would show the same enthusiasm for creating jobs in J&K as they show for military rhetoric. Our soldiers are brave, but lasting peace needs economic solutions too.

Salute to our martyred soldier! 😔 These continuous encounters show Pakistan hasn't learned its lesson after Balakot. Time for another surgical strike if needed. Enough is enough!

The MLA is right about employment being key. My cousin served in Kishtwar - he says locals there just want normal lives. We must support them with skill development centers, not just security checkpoints.

"Befitting reply" should mean more than military action. Cut off diplomatic ties, block trade, expose Pakistan's terror links globally. Economic and political isolation hurts them more than occasional strikes.

Heartbreaking to lose another braveheart. 🙏 While we must defend our borders, can we also invest more in surveillance tech to prevent infiltration? Our soldiers' lives are precious.

The real victory will be when Kashmiris themselves reject terrorism completely. Recent voter turnout shows progress. Army
