    Modi Govt., has created a monster pak policies and our soldiers are paying the price. In one side they talk tough, that pushes the other side, to play their usual games. In another side BJP joins with a pro-separatist party, so separatists and terrorists are emboldened. A clear and pathetic failure of foreign policy. In Ten years under UPA, separatists got ignored to the core and today they are all back in the street. What a shame.
