| Myanmar Operation Strengthens PM Modi's No-Nonsense Reputation There are those who have described the Indian Army's operations against cross-border insurgency groups hiding in villages in Myanmar as dramatic and new. There are others who have pointed out that such operations have been conducted before - in Myanmar itself and famously in Bhutan, against the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and other militant groups in 2003. In a sense, both are right. True, such operations have taken place earlier, but rarely has the speed of execution been so swift and the political will been so determined and cold-blooded. The recent operation took place barely a week after Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) or NSCN(K) and affiliated units ambushed and killed Indian soldiers in Manipur. The response, both a punitive as well as pre-emptive strike after information had been received of further attacks, was quick. No doubt it will send a message. The army and intelligence agencies can provide the inputs and menu of options, but in the end such operations require a political call. The risk lies substantially with the political leadership. If the operation had gone wrong, if Indian troops had suffered extraordinary casualties or if a diplomatic incident had occurred, it was for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to carry the can. While not comparable in logistical scale, two American special ops come to mind. The first was the 1980 rescue mission mounted by Special Forces attempting to evacuate diplomats being held hostage at the United States embassy in Teheran. It went horribly wrong, with a helicopter crash resulting in the death of American troops. This fiasco contributed to President Jimmy Carter's defeat later that year, as he sought re-election. A quarter-century on, President Barack Obama put his political credibility at stake when he approved the raid on Osama Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad. Fortunately for him, it was successful. To be fair, the Indian ops in the border regions of Myanmar were that much easier. A degree of comfort and military cooperation with the generals and the politicians in Myanmar has been achieved over the past 15 odd years, since Jaswant Singh, as foreign minister, flew to Myanmar for a breakthrough visit in 2001. This was built on in the UPA decade, and further consolidated by the Narendra Modi government in the past year. Having said that, the decision to move in and move so decisively was ultimately that of the prime minister. The fact that the mission achieved its goals will strengthen Modi's no-nonsense reputation. Seen alongside the tough - and in purely military terms even disproportionate - response to Pakistani incursions in the summer of 2014, it will reinforce the message that if and when challenged, Modi's government will do its utmost to impose costs on the challenger. Yet, one needs to be cautious in pronouncing that this is a new, all-purpose security and counter-insurgency/counter-terrorism doctrine for every eventuality, circumstance and geography. In the case of Pakistan and the Kashmir theatre, for example, things will not be as simple. Indian security forces have occasionally crossed the Line of Control (LoC) for short, daring missions to neutralise a target or pursue a hardened foe. A spell of such moves took place during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, for instance, and was monitored by the Prime Minister's Office. There have probably been other such moments, but understandably they have remained below the radar. In the case of hitting militants or terror units across the LoC, Indian forces will not be assured of support or even neutrality from Pakistani authorities. That aside, even if some camps or militant facilities exist close to the LoC, in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, they may have only transient, tactical value. The strategic locations that truly threaten India are far deeper in Pakistani territory, in the heartland and the urban centres of Punjab. An assault on these is entirely different from an assault on hamlets in border regions. It will require the meticulous creation and nurturing of assets inside Pakistan that may well be on National Security Adviser Ajit Doval's long-term agenda but will take years to do. The biggest plus from the Myanmar operation will be the boost it has given the Indian army and intelligence agencies. A big and difficult mission, involving immaculate matching of actionable intelligence and precise delivery, has been accomplished. The political leadership has given the army the necessary cover to push ahead. This is the way of confident nations. | |

| 'Those Who Fear India's New Posture Have Started Reacting': Defence Minister Manhohar Parrikar on Myanmar Operations NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on Thursday morning that the Indian Army's operation to neutralise two camps of militants on Tuesday has led to a "change in mindset." "Change requires a change in mindset. A simple action against insurgents has changed the mindset of the security scenario of the country," said the Defence Minister. Mr Parrikar also said, "Those who fear India's new posture have started reacting," in what is seen as a reference to a Pakistani minister warning on Wednesday that "Pakistan is not like Myanmar." To a specific question on whether he meant dealing with cross border terrorism from Pakistan, Mr Rathore had said, "It is undoubtedly a message to all nations that harbour any intentions - be it the west or the specific country we went into right now." Today, Mr Parrikar refused to go into details of Tuesday's operations, in which the Indian Army liquidated two camps of militants inside Myanmar territory in a 45-minute surgical strike carried out by a team of the elite 21 Para (Special Forces). He also refused to comment on a Myanmar official denying that the Indian army carried out its ops inside its territory. The Myanmar government has made contradictory statements in the last two days about the operation. Zaw Htay, director of the office of Myanmar President Thein Sein, was quoted by the Wall Street Journal as confirming the Indian operation in his country. "He said that there was 'coordination and cooperation' between the Indian troops and Myanmar's armed forces based in the area of the raids, but added that no Myanmar soldiers were directly involved," Wall Street Journal reported. In a Facebook post, also on Wednesday, Zaw Htay, however said, "According to the information sent by Tatmadaw (Myanmar army) battalions on the ground, we have learned that the military operation was performed on the Indian side at India-Myanmar border." | |

nalla karyam NEW DELHI: Indian Railways is on the threshold of dramatic changes. A government panel, mandated to suggest ways to overhaul the railways, has recommended the entry of private players to run passenger trains. While there was talk of private sector role in freight, this is the first time a move is being made to bring it in the running of passenger trains. Along with this, the panel headed by NITI Aayog member Bibek Debroy, has recommened the entry of private companies in operation and maintenance of railways, and has pitched for attracting talent from outside for a radical revamp of the lumbering state-owned behemoth. The Debroy panel, set up by the Narendra Modi government, has prepared a detailed report (a copy of which is with TOI) which will be presented to the government on Friday. The government is expected to act on the recommendations in the months ahead as railways is regarded as a priority sector for the Modi administration. The panel has also suggested the scrapping of a separate railway budget — something for which many economists have argued in the past — as the railways was just another public sector company. The railway budget is seen as British colonial legacy which has lingered on for decades. The radical measures suggested include, switching over to commercial accounting of railway functions, corporatization of railways production units and involving private sector in manufacturing coaches, wagons and locomotives. | |

| How #56Inch Rocks turned into 50 Shades of Red: The unraveling of Modi's Obama moment in Myanmaressaging. His spectacles were always masterfully choreographed down to the last hologram. His spokespersons were always on message and Modi had the ability to even turn something as dull as Teacher’s Day into a must-watch television drama.
A successful #ManipurRevenge #MyanmarRaid should have been a sixer for the government. All this looks more and more like a self-goal. Not the actual raid conducted by the Army, but the packaging of the raid, which is unraveling by the day while there is radio silence from Modi himself #DespiteBeingThePM. Narendra Modi. PTINarendra Modi. PTI
Narendra Modi. PTI
The Myanmar raid had all the hallmarks of that Osama assassination. Like America, India wanted to prove that someone who brought terror to it was not safe no matter where they were holed up. Like America, India wanted to show they could conduct a daring operation with speed, precision and without any casualty on their side with top-notch intelligence. And while the SEALs got the credit for the operation, Obama reaped the benefit of being the one who took the risk in greenlighting it. India's junior I&B minister Rajyavardhan Rathore seemed to say exactly that when he said while the Army carried out the strike, “our PM ordered hot pursuit in which two camps were completely annihilated.”
This looked like it would have been Modi’s Obama moment. But instead the government is forced to do damage control on multiple fronts.
The Army Problem: The government stands accused of trying to steal the Army’s thunder and as an Indian Express editorial writes trying to “harvest political capital out of the Army’s success”. The Army had merely said it had conducted strikes “along the border”. It was hashtag friendly Rajyavardhan Rathore who shot off his mouth about “our Special Forces crossing the border and going deep into another country”. His boasting actually forced more attention on the operation and compelled Myanmar to publicly display its annoyance. Now the Economic Times reports that the government is unhappy with Rathore’s braggadocio. “Rathore’s statement was avoidable,” one minister tells ET. Another says “Rathore should not have spoken like that… what was the need?”
But there is a bit of shooting the messenger here. Rathore did not rush in front of television cameras. He was chosen to do so precisely because he is a former military man. The Indian Express says “it was because it felt he could send the message across louder and clearer than the Army could. Sources said a political intervention was felt necessary at the 'highest level' and that’s how Rathore, a retired Army colonel, was chosen to give out details the Army couldn’t." Unlike V K Singh, the other minister who landed the Modi government in a soup with his tweets, Rathore was not doing any of this for himself. It was entirely about buttressing the PM’s strongman image. Now the PMO is distancing itself from Rathore but let's not forget Rathore was not bragging about his own #56inch chest. And he was chosen to go before the media AFTER those tweets.
The Diplomacy Problem: Narendra Modi came to power with unprecedented SAARC bonhomie by inviting all the neighbouring leaders to his swearing in. He has played prompt and kindly big brother to Nepal after the earthquake. Thought social media slammed his 'Despite Being A Woman' comment in Dhaka, his Bangladesh visit was in general successful. K Anis Ahmed commented in Scroll “In words and gestures, Modi’s visit seemed designed to signal the one thing that many Bangladeshis have felt missing from their bigger neighbour: respect.”
Now Myanmar is complaining vociferously that New Delhi is not showing them that same thing: respect. Rathore bragged that the Indian Army “went into” Myanmar to target militant camps and initial reports talked about how the Myanmar army provided the intelligence and then turned a blind eye to the operation. Even if that was true, diplomacy demands both countries do not go to town talking about it. Certainly Washington and Islamabad have not admitted to any collusion even though Seymour Hersch alleged that they worked very much in tandem. But Rathore’s braggadocio has forced a normally tight-lipped Myanmar to say categorically “we will not allow foreign troops to enter our territory.” Rathore did not stop to think how India would feel if the tables were turned and Myanmar wanted to claim credit for an operation conducted on the Indian side of the border.
So now suddenly India and Myanmar, who are allies and partners, are putting out embarrassingly different scenarios of what happened. Happymon Jacob, an international affairs expert at Jawaharlal Nehru University tells The Telegraph “If you do not treat these things with a certain kind of secrecy and sensitivity, it could impact how Myanmar and other countries treat similar requests from India in the future.” Meanwhile Pakistan which had no reason to get involved in the story, has decided to adopt a sanctimonious tone and lecture India about a “moral high ground” and how they would continue their “quest for a peaceful neighbourhood” despite “irresponsible” and “imprudent statements” from India’s leaders. Basically Nawaz Sharif wants to use Manohar Parrikar’s statement that the operation in Myanmar was about sending messages to India’s other neighbours to rally his country together with some India-bashing.

The Photo Problem: Then there is the photo goof up that has left everyone with more questions than answers. Two photographs allegedly from the operation started going around social media and media outlets. It showed the soliders carrying guns in front of an army helicopter flashing victory signs. ANI carried the pictures with the faces blanked out to protect their identities. But then the defence ministry tweeted it had “NOT issued any photo relating to the Indian Army action along the Indo-Myanmar border in the North East, so far.” ANI claimed the photos were authorized by the Additional Directorate General of Public Information which said it had done no such thing. Then the whole affair blew up further when the images were found via Google as being from 2009-13. Now the Army is back pedaling saying according to The Hindu that the photographs were only approved as a “representative picture” not an “operational picture.” That’s even more ridiculous because why should the Army be in the business of giving media outlets “representational pictures” anyway? Especially pictures that were already out there and available. Whether the pictures were an honest mistake or a deliberate attempt to jazz up the story and make it more front-page worthy, someone royally goofed up along the way.
The Bodycount Problem: Now it seems the death toll from the strike is in dispute as well. The Army had kept mum about the casualties inflicted though in background briefings it had suggested 20 dead and 11 injured though some in the media have floated the claim that 100 insurgents were killed. But Indian Express says only seven bodies have been recovered and about a dozen militants were injured. More damningly Rathore’s #ManipurRevenge did not hit the perpetrators of the 4 June ambush that cost India 18 lives. Express also says that Niki Sumi, the head of one of the camps destroyed left it with 40 of his cadres before the Indians attacked. If Sumi is the Osama equivalent in this story, he it seems got away. And IE claims S S Khaplang, the aging patriarch of the NSCN-K insurgent group, is undergoing medical treatment safely in Yangon. So now questions are being raised as to the strategic value of the attack beyond providing some high-octane television drama and an ego stroke to India about its military prowess.
When President Obama placed the killing of Osama bin Laden at the center of his reelection campaign, he too was accused of politicizing the event and making it a campaign slogan by his opponents. But Modi’s Obama moment seems to be unraveling not because of his opponents but because those around him were too greedy and too hasty to turn it into a PR-spectacle tailor-made for television. As Modi maintains an uncharacteristic silence, his minister's #56inch Rocks boast is turning into 50 Shades of Red . | |

| NEW DELHI: In a startling expose by Times Now on the Lalit Modi's travel documents issue, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj accepted that she was indeed in touch with Lalit Modi in the month of July, 2014. It has been alleged that Swaraj helped Lalit Modi procure travel documents to return to India. However, she clarified that it was solely on humanitarian ground, as she was inquiring about his wife's health, who was diagnosed with cancer. Swaraj added that Lalit Modi had spoken to her stating that his wife was suffering from cancer and a surgery was fixed for August 14, 2014, in Portugal. On Sunday morning, Swaraj tweeted saying that Modi had informed her that he had applied for travel documents in London and that the UK government was prepared to give him the travel documents. But, the UK government was restrained by a UPA government communication that the move will spoil India-UK relations. The expose also revealed that Swaraj's husband was seeking favor at different levels from Lalit Modi. Previously, Keith Vaz, one of Britain's longest-serving Indian-origin MPs, is facing an inquiry by the UK's parliamentary watchdog over allegations of a conflict of interest by intervening in the immigration application of controversial IPL founder Lalit Modi. According to a 'Sunday Times' probe, Vaz personally wrote to Sarah Rapson, the director-general of UK visas and immigration, in an effort to expedite the case of London-based Modi, former commissioner of Indian Premier League cricket tournament. Vaz was then chairman of the influential House of Commons home affairs select committee in which role he was required to scrutinise and hold to account the work of Rapson and her department, the newspaper points out. However, Vaz has denied any wrongdoing or conflict of interest and said he had treated Modi's case the same as others who sought his help. Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen has now written to Kathryn Hudson, the UK parliamentary standards commissioner, urging her to investigate whether Vaz had breached the MPs' code of conduct. In a leaked correspondence seen by 'The Sunday Times', Vaz offered to help with the immigration case of Modi, a controversial multimillionaire who has been investigated by Indian tax authorities in the past. Modi came to London in 2010 amid claims that the IPL cricket tournament was embroiled in alleged match-fixing and illegal betting. His Indian passport was later revoked, leaving him grounded in the UK. Modi has always denied any wrongdoing and says he left India for Britain because of death threats. Shortly, after he received his UK travel documents last summer after a lengthy legal battle with the UK home office, Modi described Vaz as a "superstar". Vaz has said Modi's case was one of "hundreds" he had raised with the home office on behalf of individuals where he felt there was a wider problem with the immigration system — in this case a delay in the issuing of travel papers. He said: "There is no conflict of interest as I have no personal interest in this case and received no benefit from it. I actively encouraged people to bring to my and the committee's attention examples of delays, inefficiencies and problems with the immigration system." മിഥുന് എന്ത്യേ? ഇന്നലെ അര്ണാബിന്റെ ചര്ച്ച കണ്ടിരുന്നോ?? | |
