Tribute to injured soldiers and martyred Col Sohail Abid who scarified his life for the country. An important task is to identify and disrupt the financial resources of terrorists. Foreign intelligence agencies in Afghanistan are quite active to sponsor terrorism in Pakistan. They must be tangibly answered. Actions are louder than words.

"RIP", "Salute" That simply does not cut it. Its easy to write something while sitting behind your desk in your comfort zone, but can you *IMAGINE* what the soldier's next of kin must be going through? I speak for both the armies, Indian as well as Pak armies fighting against each other or otherwise. The grief pain and hurt can only be understood by families who have suffered a similar loss. A dead soldier's family from across the border will have more meaningful condolence to offer than the entire population of both the countries combined. This brave man died for a cause which is a product of the societies, religions and governments, all of which at this present moment represent more wrong than right, pragmatically. Are we so hollow and unremorseful to let bravery, and national pride die for the sake of our personal ego, religion and a peice of land? "This soldier and scores others will not rest in peace because of us."
