Indian army filming ‘fake video’, says IOK lawmaker
2016-10-07
[TRIBUNE.PK] An independent politician from Indian-Occupied Kashmire (IOK) on Wednesday said the Indian army is filming a fake operation in the Leepa valley to present as evidence of its so-called surgical strikes.

"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 news hounds by the Greater Kashmire 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).

"Surgical strikes need to be understood in light of a Times of India story published in June which revealed that BJP will declare Rajnath its candidate for UP chief minister and that before doing so, Rajnath may claim to have carried out some big military operation in Kashmire."
