In a statement issued today Er Rasheed said, \u201cThe very credible sources confirm that Indian army is engaged in filming videos in Nowgam and Leepa sectors, adjacent to borders showing as if army is carrying out covert operations in enemy\u2019s territory, so that the same can be provided as evidences to satisfy Indian masses and world community. It is worth to mention that army had claimed to have carried strikes in this area as well. The issue of surgical strikes needs to be understood in light of Times of India story published in June this year, revealing that BJP will declare Rajnath Singh as its candidate for U.P CM, but before doing so, Rajnath Singh may claim to have carried out some big military operation in Kashmir, in order to gain sympathy among U.P voters. Any professional army needs not to fall in the trap of political establishment and Indian army should not do any misadventure or indulge in any fake propaganda just to help BJP for its political goals and also escalate tension at the borders. Unfortunately army and police have been staging managed dramas in the past from Pathribal to Machil and claims of surgical strikes and that of apprehending a Pakistani militant Bahadur Ali are the recent additions to these staged dramas. Any credible investigating agency or journalist can visit the Yehama village in Kupwara district where from Bahadur Ali was apprehended and find that how sensational and dramatic was the operation of apprehending Bahadur Ali. The culprit has been seen rooming free on a bike for three to four days before being apprehended and it is interesting that he was arrested by just two policemen, who had travelled a distance of 3Kms from the nearest police station for the job and brought him in a private vehicle to nearest police station at Qalamabad. Had he been a dreaded militant it would have been impossible to arrest him with the help of just two policemen. Ironically, next day army and task force went and photographed the area and informed locals that they had captured a Pakistani militant. Six days later, national media started claiming about Bahadur Ali\u2019s arrest, plans and connections.\u201d Er Rasheed further added, \u201cFirst when Indian politicians praised Indian army over surgical strikes and now when they are raising questions about the same, it is obvious that they are more interested in getting political mileage over each other, rather caring about real story. The intelligence agencies on other hand want to divert attention from mass uprising in Kashmir but need to realise that even if Kashmiris call off strike, things will not change unless dispute is not resolved. However, they must all restrain from fighting battle of throne for New Delhi on streets of Kashmir. The claims and counterclaims being made by Indian politicians are enough proof to conclude that there is something serious wrong in all the claims whatsoever are being made viz-a-viz these so called surgical strikes. May one ask India army that if Pakistani\u2019s facilitated world media to the sights where India claimed to have carried surgical strikes, why can\u2019t India come out with concrete evidences to support its claim.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Er Rasheed asks army not to indulge itself in staged dramas for BJP\u2019s political dividends Srinagar: AIP President and MLA Langate has accused Indian army and other state agencies of preparing fake footages at borders so as to put forward them as evidences for surgical strikes.
