On #DefenceDay some people who seem to have recently awoken to the miracle of reading - have discovered that they can go to Wikipedia, quote Indian/self-selected sources on events of #Kashmir War of 1965 - push a supposed "alternative" narrative and look k3wl.
However, fact remains that on Sept 06 - The overwhelming might of the #IndianArmy crossed the international border against Lahore Sialkot, Gujranwala and Kasur and struck hard. On all these fronts, #PakistanArmy stopped all Indian offensives.
#DefenceDay
It doesn't matter why the #IndianArmy crossed the international border. We don't celebrate the reasons the Indians crossed the border. On #DefenceDay we celebrate the brave resistance that outnumbered, out-gunned and surprised #Pakistani defenders put.
The much smaller #PakistanArmy with very limited resources held the line, beat back determined #Indian offensives, reversed the situation and launched a bold counter-offensive that took Khem Karan despite overwhelming Indian numbers and flooded, boggy fields.
Does this #narrative claim anything false or out of the ordinary?
This is what #DefenceDay is about.
Celebrating the valor, sacrifice and service of troops & officers on the ground - Who knew no politics - Had nothing to do with whatever we think was happening in some ppls minds
So, let us take a moment to reflect on what alternative #narrative means and what we're trying to push. Happy #DefenceDay to #Pakistan !
