Afzal Guru is a pretext, Nargota was to happen

The media has widely reported that the terror attack on an army camp in Nagrota on November 29 was meant to be a vengeance for the hanging of Afzal Guru. The attack left seven officers and jawans dead. Two of these martyrs were from Maharashtra.
The media speculation, corroborated by the intelligence sources, stems from the recovery of a note written in Urdu from three slain terrorists. The note had the name of JeM's Afzal Guru Squad (AGS) in Urdu.
According to PTI report, a note, along with three AK-47 rifles, magazines and UBGL grenades, was recovered from the site of attack, points to the involvement of JeM's Afzal Guru Squad. The note, written in Urdu with name bearing at the end of AGS of JeM, says that they have avenged the death of Guru.
Guru's name also cropped up in Pathankot when Rajesh Verma, who was abducted along with Gurdaspur Superintendent of Police told reporters that the militants had told him that they wanted to avenge the death of 2001 Parliament attack convict.
The question is, would the terrorists have spared us all if Afzal Guru was not hanged? Were there no attacks before Guru, the convict in the Parliament attack case in 2001, was sent to gallows?
One thing we have to remember, the terrorists want us to bleed. And as is famous, bleed in thousand ways, as the Pakistan has planned it. They will inflict wounds on us - Afzal Guru or not. They want to hang on to a pretext and create havoc in India. Afzal Guru only serves them to give a sense of satisfaction to themselves. Thus, Nargota was an eventuality that was to happen. It cannot be rationalized by providing revenge angle to it.
Therefore, it is best if don't dwell on this issue and focus on destroying them. If at all, the vengeance should be ours. It is we who should take revenge for our slain martyrs who have laid their lives for us.
