Emotions are running high and tension has spiked over the killing of five Indian soldiers in an ambush along the disputed border in Kashmir on Tuesday. While this is a huge tragedy and loss, one must look carefully at political parties swooping down on this incident to make capital of it. People would be wise not to be swayed by statements of outrage being mouthed by our netas over this attack, as they are simply finding an opportunity to score over each other.

Perhaps a better way to show their concern and anger is to see that the families of these young men who have given their lives for the nation, do not suffer, are well compensated monetarily and do not feel that the lives of their loved ones were in vain.
