Indian Army has done a few 'surgical strikes' on Pakistani terrorists and support network over the last few years. This has been often cited by the BJP supporters as an achievement of current BJP-led government at the center. India was long called a "soft state" for being too liberal on the terrorists and Pakistani attacks. Now, Indian Army retaliates whenever there is infiltration or attack from across the border.
Someone compared these strikes with medical surgery and tried to make fun of it saying that unlike medical surgeries, these "surgical strikes" did not solve the root cause of the Kashmir problem.
I think "surgical strikes" by definition are known to be "tactical" strikes; not expected to remove the root cause - which a "medical surgery" is expected to do. And hence this may not be best analogy.
I think taking "antibiotics" would come closer. It would solve the immediate issue right on hand. It may also have side-effects.
