| | | | 1965 war: When Pakistan made poor Kashmiris scapegoats for its follies | | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 15: In the Kashmir Valley, the common conceit about Operation Gibraltar is that in the summer of 1965, Pakistani soldiers and insurgents secretly infiltrated into J&K, the motive being to spark an anti-India uprising in the Valley. The operation, as it later appeared, was launched as hurriedly as it had been planned. The 'project' was exposed after a shepherd, Mohammad Din Gujjar, reported to the police about the presence of "some strangers" in Tangmarg near Gulmarg, 40 km north of Srinagar. (Gujjar was punished for his 'crime' 25 years later, in May 1990, when he was shot dead by Kashmiri militants.)

Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 15: Notwithstanding the tall claims of the government and concerned department in developing the sports infrastructure of the state, the M A stadium in the heart of the city of the temples is craving for the attention to get suitable for sports activities.

While sources in the Council pointed the w... | |
