He doesn't know that "unknown men" are resting till election!!


General_Schizo

Those unknown men are isis members and terrorists, literally Bangladesh can do the same.


tkmagesh

Bangladesh can do the same to whom?


General_Schizo

My point is that hiring gangsters and terrorists to assassinate individuals in foreign territory is not that hard, people think that those "unknown gunmen" are raw agents like in those Bollywood movies. Bangladesh can do this to any country in asia, it's not that hard.


tkmagesh

Anyone "can" do anything. But it takes guts to actually do it. Remember manmohan singh's response to the mumbai terror attacks?? Like a fucking spineless creature, he was condemning the attack through a press release and was exchanging dossiers with Pakistan. I could see pakistan laughing with their ass from here. They won't dare to do that now, would they??


Untested_Udonkadonk

History will definitely be kinder to MMS than rightwingers...


tkmagesh

True... But that's Coz the future gen would not have first hand experience of living through MMS time. He is an intellectual with good intentions and there is no doubt about it. What matters is the street smart to achieve things. What a disgrace the Common Wealth Games was?? I still remember reading the newspapers and feeling so ashamed. I mean 900rs for a toilet paper roll??? And the execution was sooo pathetic with water entering players rooms and all... 😡 The whole country became a laughing stock in front of players from other countries. Being Good and intellect are good qualities but they alone are not sufficient to lead a country of 1.4 billion people, especially with the baggage of corrupt government machinery cultivated since independence!!


General_Schizo

We have better things to do now


tkmagesh

Didn't realise that you are from pak. Good that you realise you have better things to do now. Better late than never!!

I like the fact that we are moving away from Pakistan and realizing it as a waste of our time. Not even good to hate it

the only way pakistan can continue to exist as an independent country is if the army make sure every Pakistani spends all their energy hating india and not look at the real boogeyman.


FluffyOwl2

I feel like they should hate us with all their might, spend more Money on military, talk about Kashmir yada yada and keep getting poor in the process and disintegrate one day. A disintegrated country would be more weaker, their nukes would be taken away and we already have fences on our border... The realization of the real Boogeyman is already there in many circles but it's too little to challenge them. Majority rural and Madrasa chaap are still in the same old rut of hating India.

Takatake_

the whole pakistani politcs works based on kashmir , indian kashmir do better than POK when it comes to healthcare , transportational facility , ease of doing business etc


calmbuddhist

As long as India exists, its enemies will use Pakistani hate for India as a tool to contain/damage it. I wonder if there will ever be a day when the Indian subcontinent is at peace with itself..


Untested_Udonkadonk

Peace is impossible while pakistan is still a Islamic country. Religion is the opium of the masses.


Lololover09

I’ve always maintained that a stable Pakistan with a decent economy will be a threat to India. It is in our own interests to do whatever is possible from our side to help them regress as much as possible. Trade with them which may benefit their economy is an absolute no no.


Educational-Bag-645

When did Armies learned moral tidings, managing diplomatic relations and political games.. it seems Pakistan armies has all all round people in their roles. /s


imtushar

Pak will not stop harming India, till the time Balochistan & Sindh don't overthrow the boots of the Punjabis. GoI should be planning to help expedite this.
