“Very credible sources confirm that the Indian army is filming videos in the Nowgam and Leepa sectors, adjacent to the border, to show as if it is carrying out covert operations in enemy territory,” Engineer Rashid was quoted as telling reporters by the Greater Kashmir newspaper. The video, he said, will be provided “as evidence to satisfy the Indian masses and the world community.”
He said the BJP is staging the surgical strikes drama in order to boost Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s profile as a chief ministerial candidate for next year’s election in Uttar Pradesh (UP).
