'Putting down a RABID DOG': Abhishek Banerjee lauds armed forces over Op Sindoor

In a powerful statement on Wednesday, Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee commended the Indian armed forces for their "unmatched bravery and extraordinary valour" in recent counter-terrorism efforts. While praising the precision and discipline of the operations, Banerjee issued a stern call to address the root causes of terrorism, urging the global community to target the "vile handler who breeds, trains and unleashes terror."

Banerjee's remarks were shared via Twitter, referencing an image from the Indian Army's ADG PI that he stated "reaffirms India's unity in the face of external attempts to divide us." He expressed profound respect for the armed forces, noting their ability to neutralize "terror infrastructure without crossing the line or endangering innocent lives." This, he emphasized, showcased "India's strength - firm in resolve, yet honourable in action!"

Moving beyond accolades, the Parliamentarian employed a striking analogy to articulate his views on tackling terrorism. "But LET’S BE CLEAR: Putting down a RABID DOG doesn’t stop the threat if the ONE BREEDING IT is still alive and PLOTTING TO RAISE MORE," Banerjee declared. He unequivocally identified the core issue: "The REAL PROBLEM IS NOT THE RABID DOG- Rather ITS THE VILE HANDLER WHO BREEDS,TRAINS AND UNLEASHES TERROR."

This metaphor serves as a direct call to shift focus from merely combating individual terrorist outfits to dismantling the entire support system that enables their existence. Banerjee's impassioned plea is for a more profound and strategic international effort aimed at uprooting the very "source that breeds, trains and unleashes this violence." He stressed the urgency of this approach, stating, "It’s time we stop treating the SYMPTOM and go straight for the DISEASE."

His statement underscores a growing impatience with superficial measures and a demand for holding accountable those entities, often state or non-state actors, that provide sanctuary, funding, and ideological fuel for terrorist groups. By calling to "dismantle the very source," Banerjee advocates for a proactive and potentially more confrontational global stance against the architects of global terror.   

Concluding with a fervent "Jai HIND!", Abhishek Banerjee's message encapsulates both pride in India's defensive capabilities and a resolute demand for a more fundamental and lasting solution to the persistent threat of terrorism. His words echo a sentiment that true peace and security can only be achieved when the wellsprings of terror are decisively addressed.
