The General is a good man. Reminds me of what Jinnah said so famously: "Failure is not in my vocabulary."

India and Pakistan both are so similar,both calls their country "motherland".
And thats what India is doing.Defending their motherland.Kashmir is theoir motherland.accept it
Even our motherland is scared to us.We have the right to take action against any one who tries to bleed it
Running large chunks of the economy is also a sacred act.
Whole nation is standing with you to defend our country. Our Armed forces are the best in this continent & we are all proud of your gallantry.
@SATT, All countries in the world call their country motherland. So it is similar for all world .
There is no point in poking one's nose in other people's backyard and then talk of defending one's own house.
