Indian Army conducts military operation in Myanmar

  Indian army carried out a military operation deep inside neighboring Myanmar in the early hours of Tuesday and killed several militants, who were suspected to be attacked the Indian Army vehicles in Manipur few days ago in which 18 army men were killed. The Indian army commandoes have started military operation at 3 am on Tuesday and it continued for 13 hours. Indian Air Force helicopters and drones assisted them in their operation. All the soldiers, who take part in this operation, have safely returned to their base camps said Additional Director General, Military Operations, Maj Gen. Ranbir Singh.   Minister of state for information and broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore speaking to the media said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ordered for conducting this military operation. He said “Attacks on Indians, be it in Iraq or wherever it may be, they were not acceptable to us. This is a strong message to our neighbors who harbor terrorists.”   In an official release by Indian Army, “We want to ensure peace and tranquility along the borders. But, at the same time we will not allow outsiders pose any threat to our country’s safety, security and integrity. We will deal such elements with firm hand. This operation can be considered as an example for it.” This is first time for Indian Army to conduct military operation outside its territory. Earlier, it conducted joint military operation in Sri Lanka to comb the LTTE militants and ever since never conducted military operations outside the country. Hence, this would leave a strong message to the Pak based militants that they also can’t escape, if indulged in cross boarder terrorism.

Andhra Pradesh

AP and TS governments gearing for final battle?

  Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments have been indulged in a serious battle over vote for note and the phone tapping issues. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses to defend themselves and to counter each other.   Telangana government possesses the audio and video recordings of Revanth Reddy’s conversation in Stephenson’s residence. It also collected his finger prints from the water glass served to him in his house. A phone call that Revanth Reddy received while at Stphenson’s residence is also establishing his location. The ACB officials may have collected some more crucial evidences to prove him guilty in this case. No surprise, if they try to drag Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to the courts as he is preparing for serious battle with them instead of succumbing to their power play.   Similarly, Andhra Pradesh government is claiming that total 120 phones including the Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s phone was tapped by the Telangana ACB. It is gathering necessary evidences to prove its allegations. If it could prove its allegations are genuine, then it can fix the Telangana Chief Minister KCR with the phone tapping case. If fails to prove its allegations, then its situation may turn bad to worse for making false allegations. Releasing video clippings of sting operation to media without ACB’s knowledge, releasing audio tape of Chandrababu Naidu’s phone conversation with MLA Stephenson to media without ACB knowledge, Telangana Home Minister Nayini Narasimha Reddy’s announcement about it prior to media release etc. may helpful to the AP government to argue that the Telangana government has conspired against it.   However, Centre may take initiative to prevent any untoward incidents in both states, especially in the common capital where people of both states are living together.
