| In summer of 2011 Indian & Pak troops carried out surgical operation to kill soldiers | | | The surgical operation, carried out by the
Indian troops on the night of September 28-29, was not first of its type. Yes, first of its type because the target was launch pads on which groups of terrorists were waiting for an opportunity to cross into Kashmir. The surgical operation carried out some five years ago was simply to kill soldiers on either side of the LOC. It was the summer of 2011, India and Pakistan staged two of the bloodiest cross-border surgical strikes in which at least 13 soldiers were killed, and six of them decapitated. The NDA Government has denied that never before a surgical operation was carried out. It is correct but the one carried out in 2011 had some different purpose. Five of those heads were carried across the border as trophies - two to Pakistan and three to India. Official documents, video and photographic evidence collected, chillingly capture the two cross-border raids and the brutality of the tit-for-tat cycle which seems far deadlier than what is publicly acknowledged. Major General (retired) S.K. Chakravorty, who planned and executed the operation as the chief of Kupwara-based 28 Division, confirmed the raid however, he refused to discuss further details.
The Pakistani raiders struck a remote army post in Gugaldhar ridge in Kupwara, on the afternoon of July 30, 2011, surprising the six soldiers from the Rajput and Kumaon regiments. The 19 Rajput Battalion was to be replaced by 20 Kumaon around the time the Pakistani Border Action Team (BAT) struck. The attacking team took back the heads of Havildar Jaipal Singh Adhikari and Lance Naik Devender Singh of 20 Kumaon. A soldier of the 19 Rajput, who reported the attack, died later in a hospital in revenge, the Indian Army planned Operation Ginger, which would turn out to be one of the deadliest cross-border raids carried out by the Indian Army in recent memory. To carry out the revenge attack at least seven reconnaissance - physical and air surveillance mounted on UAV - missions were carried out to identify potential targets
However, the cross border raids or the surgical operation carried out in 2011 were meant to teach lesson to Pakistan and Pakistan wants to teach a lesson to India. This means that whenever the two sides have got an opportunity they have carried out surgical operation. However, the recent surgical operation had one major purpose. Since Pakistani troops used to bring groups of militants, trained in the arms camps in Pakistan and Occupied Kashmir on the launch pads which had been established on various areas across the LOC and the IB for pushing them into Jammu and Kashmir. In fact these launch pads had been developed simply to facilitate easy infiltration of terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir because these launch pads had been set up a few metres away from the zero line. This had one advantage. Whenever the Pakistani troops or the Rangers felt that the time was opportune for assisting terrorists in crossing into Jammu and Kashmir these terrorists were available on the border itself. The Indian troops wanted to demolish these launch pads so that Pakistan had a difficulty in bringing terrorists for crossing into Jammu and Kashmir. And if official reports are to be relied on more than 38 terrorists were killed and when the news leaked to the Pakistani forces they immediately took the militants away from the border to the Army camps. And in case the Pakistani troops carried out surgical operation it would mean that the purpose of the cross border raid was to kill Indian soldiers because India does not breed terrorists and keep them on the launch pads. |
