PSE Poll: 36% regard war with Pakistan for Pulwama revenge

A large number of respondents regard war against Pakistan as the perfect solution to combating terrorism, the PSE poll, which was conducted in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack, shows.

Thirty-six per cent of the respondents favoured a full-scale conflict with Pakistan compared with 23 per cent, who supported surgical strikes. The responses were to the question: What should India's response be for the Pulwama terror attack?

Eighteen per cent backed the idea of an operation against Jaish-e-Mohammad head Masood Azhar, on the pattern of US Special Forces capturing and killing Osama bin Laden in Pakistan's Abbottabad in 2011.

Barely 15 per cent supported moves to isolate Pakistan diplomatically and economically.
