Coast Guard has done a wonderful job by intercepting an
unknown boat and followed all procedures to neutralize the treat perception.
While defending a Nation the Defence Forces do not have the luxury of analyzing
whether the approaching object (in this case a boat) is a terrorist or a
smuggler or a tourist. As per the
operating procedure if the approaching boat has disobeyed the Coast Guard
warnings, the Coast Guard has no choice but to isolate the boat and ask them to
surrender. It is not the concern of Coast Guard, why the men on the boat
decided to blow the boat and commit suicide instead of surrendering. That is
for future investigation.
If the Coast Guard and the Defence Ministry had come out
without a statement, things would have been put to rest. The problem started with BJP spokesmen
started talking about the incident even before Coast Guard or Defence Ministry statement
as a Media event. That is where all politicians, opinion leaders came in. It
will good for India if all political parties including the ruling party keep
away from Government functioning.
Unfortunately, all politicians instead of patting the good
work of Coast Guard has demoralized all defence forces.
