India must not buckle under global pressure and take decisive action against Pakistan, and a multi-pronged approach is needed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should lead from the front and set an example that he is capable of.
Here is what India needs to do:
1: Tactical strikes against terror camps and groups: pinpointed strikes against terror groups LeT, JeM and its leaders. India has the right to defend itself if Pakistan is unable to reign them in.

2. Major diplomatic offensive: A major diplomatic offensive at the UN to declare Pakistan a terror state drawing on the pattern of Pakistan’s involvement in terror attack in India and abroad and in major attacks like 26/11 where foreign nationals were killed. Also expose its complicity in these attacks.
