First India Bureau
Lucknow: Uttar
Yogi Adityanath said on
Thursday to run society
well our ancestors had
devised four ashrams.
They had established
certain rules, princi-
ples and moral values to
run their daily life. All
behaviour was man-
aged under these sys-
tems and values. As
time passed, various
influences and social
divisions led to the de-
pletion of those values,
he said adding the
spread of drug addic-
tion in society like a dis-
ease was a result of this
devaluation of moral
principles.
The CM expressed
these views addressing
the first pledge pro-
gramme of ‘Nasha
Mukt Samaj Andolan’
here today. He said ad-
diction was destroying
the young generation.
The youth drowned in
addiction were not only
damaging their own
lives but were also de-
stroying society and
country, he said.
“It is the duty of all
citizens to not only join
but also contribute in
the de-addiction cam-
paign,” he said.

PERSPECTIVELUCKNOW | FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2020
Be strong, and let your heart
take courage, all you who
wait for the LORD!
—Psalm 31:24
Spiritual
SPEAK
n 9th November 2020 the Presi-
dent of Azerbaijan Ilham Ali-
yev, the Prime Minister of Ar-
menia Nikol Pashinyam and
the President of Russia
Vladimir Putin signed the Na-
gorno- Karabakh ceasefire
agreement that ends the 6
weeks war which led to annexa-
tion of the city of Susha. The
armistice agreement is pledged
to end all hostilities in the dis-
puted region of Nakorno-Kara-
bakh coming into effect from
10th November 2020 and unlike
earlier mediation attempts by
counties like Turkey, Iran,
France, Russia & Kazakhsthan,
the new agreement promises
for a long lasting resolution and
acts as an harbinger of peace in
the ethno-geo conflict region.
REALISM METHODOLOGY
Although the contentious issue
first emerged in the aftermath
of world war 1 where Stalin’s
“Divide and Rule” policy divid-
ed trans-caucasian region into
modern day nations of Geor-
gia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Nagorno-Karabakh region is a
small area which is home to
about 150thousand people and
almost all of which are ethni-
cally Armenians, the region
has been an area of contention
as it lies within the territory of
Azerbaijan but remains under
the control of Armenian sepa-
ratist control and the world
community did not recognize
its independence. Armenian
Government had other vision
which was to include Nagorno-
Karabakh region as one of
their autonomous provinces
like Azerbaijan’s Nakchivan
province but over the past 3 dec-
ades there has been economic,
political and sovereignty mal-
function in the administration.
Till now over 100thousand peo-
ple have already fled the dis-
puted region and approximate-
ly 30 thousand have lost their
lives from both the nations
NAGORNO-KARABAKH
WAR AKA 6 YEAR’S WAR
It was fought between the two
ideologically and culturally op-
posite nations between 1988-
1994 which led to the N-K reso-
lution to separate from Azer-
baijan and also Independence
referendum of 1991 leaving the
region to be governed by the
Armenian separatist control
and saw a peaceful stage till
2016 when fresh exchange of
arms resurged making old
wounds haunt again.
GEO-ETHNIC-CONFLICT
Armenia which lies to the west
of Azerbaijan and to the east of
Turkey has a population of 3.3
million with about 97% of
them as catholic Christians
and believed to be the first
Christianstatetohaveemerged
after the end of the Roman em-
pire (300A.D.) is surrounded by
Muslim dominated Nation-
states like Turkey, Iran and
Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is not
only 4 times larger in size than
Armenia but have many more
allies in the region and also dis-
tinguished as one of the few
nations which is Shia-dominat-
ed Islam majority country.
Azerbaijan is also the 1st Mus-
lim majority democratic na-
tion in the world which makes
them natural allies with the
ideologies of Turkey and Iran
who have their interest in the
region and have played a shad-
ow role in the recent peace ar-
mistice agreement giving tur-
key a backdoor entry and gain-
ing weight in this region where
once loomed large the soviet
empire.
MODUS VIVENDI
Vladimir Putin having a bilat-
eral security agreement with
Armenia and safeguarding Ar-
menia for decades and keeping
aloof from the disputed region
had to finally step up and come
to a compromising agreement
after an era of modus operandi
by uniting the region with the
republic of Azerbaijan, setting
up of peacekeeping troop of
about2000menandde-militariz-
ing the conflict driven region

cow school of thought feel that

able deal which showcases the
mighty Soviet Union is just not

Protests have ravaged the
major cities of Armenia
against the recent deal and peo-
ple are marching on street with
banners “Traitor” used for the
current Prime Minister Nikol
Pashimyan and The parlia-
ment has become unparlia-
ment in their conduct where
the opposition legislators cre-
ating a menace and violating
the code of conduct, throwing
stones at the speaker of the as-
sembly. But the picture is rosy
in the heart of the city of Baku-
capital of Azerbaijan, all are
praising the Government with
dance and festivities in major
cities of Azerbaijan.
Meanwhile the Armenians
living in Nagorno-Karabakh
are in disbelief and tired of
fighting further have decided to
slowly vacate the region and
have started to move to Arme-
nia after burning down their
properties and some even car-
rying the dead bodies of their

on establishing a joint Russian-

CURRENTLY A L.L.B STUDENT
eff Bezos, the
world’s wealthi-
est person, an-
nounced on Ins-
tagram in No-
vember 2020 that he was
giving 16 organizations a
total of about US$800 mil-
lion for a wide array of
climate-protecting work.
This money will help pay
to restore and protect eco-
systems in Colombia, Fiji,
Madagascar and Mexico,
launch a satellite to detect
methane pollution, build
carbon-trading markets,
speed up the replacement
of the nation’s fossil-fueled
commercial trucks with
electric vehicles and up-
date the U.S. electrical grid
so it can rely more heavily
on renewable energy.
It was just the first in-
stallment of the $10 billion
the Amazon founder and
CEO pledged in February
2020 that he would give to
fight climate change.
For now, that sum would
constitute about 5% of his
net worth of $203 billion. I
teach a course called Busi-
ness in Democracy: Advo-
cacy, Lobbying and the Pub-
licInterest,whichexamines
the ways that businesses
and their leaders influence
public policy for both good
and ill. This kind of a gift is
emblematic of the broader
issue of money and the
ways it clouds our society’s
ability to address the funda-
mental challenges we face.
THE BIGGER ISSUE
Rather than gush over Be-
zos for his generosity in ad-
dressing what he and many
scientists consider an exis-
tential threat, I think it’s
more appropriate to ask
what kind of a political
model his actions support
and perpetuate – and how
that model allows him to
makesuchalargedonation.
As I argue in my latest
book, “Management as a
Calling,” corporate clout
and money from extremely
wealthy people have over-
whelmed the nation’s po-
litical process and we need
a corrective. That is, future
business leaders need to
learn how to approach po-
litical influence as a public
service and not individual
gamesmanship.
The largest oil and gas
companies alone spend
nearly $200 million on lob-
bying yearly to delay, con-
trol or block policies aimed
at tackling climate change.
This kind of spending
puts sand in the gears of
our political process, ren-
dering it so weak and frac-
tious that it can no longer
function as a serious arbi-
ter of public interest. Be-
cause Bezos is pumping
some of his fortune into a
system that is broken, his
donations – while admira-
ble – will not solve this
overarching problem.
It’s of course a good
thing that Bezos, like many
other billionaires, wants to
use his surplus wealth to
address climate change
and other great challenges
our society faces.
But what these major do-
nors should do if they truly
believe in those goals, iron-
ically, is use their economic
and political power to insu-
late politics and policymak-
ing from the influence of
folks like themselves.
THE ROLE OF
BUSINESS IN A
DEMOCRACY
The business world has
been encroaching into U.S.
political institutions and
public debates for years.
Salesforce, a $17 billion
software company, entered
the debate over gay mar-
riage debate legislation by
pressuring the Indiana leg-
islature to change pro-
posed LGBTQ policies.
Delta Airlines entered
the gun control debate by
curtailing flight discounts
to National Rifle Associa-
tion members in the wake
of mass shootings.
The financial firms
Blackrock and JPMorgan
Chase took a stand on the
murder of the journalist
Jamal Khashoggi by cance-
ling their participation in
important meetings in
Saudi Arabia, at least for a
while.
Hobby Lobby, a craft and
decor store chain, entered
the reproductive rights de-
bate by challenging the Af-
fordable Care Act on
grounds that having to con-
tribute to health insurance
for its employees that cov-
ered birth control violated
the religious beliefs of the
company’s leaders.
This corporate presence
can turn public debates
into battles between du-
eling piles of money.

he Centre and farmers held a prolonged

the impasse over three farm Acts passed
to reform the agriculture sector and im-
prove the agriculturists’ fortunes. The
firmness with which the farmers’ unions partici-

to partake of the food offered by the government and

In their solidarity, representatives of 35 farmer
groups saw an opportunity to make the govern-
ment agree to their demand for the repeal of the
new law. They were insistent on the convening of
a special session of Parliament for the law’s repeal.
The demand for a special session also got support
from the Congress. The government refused a roll
back but softened its stand on some issues.
At the end of over seven hours of talks, there was

IN-DEPTH
NEW CHALLENGER IN
DRAVIDIAN CITADEL
or three years now Tamil superstar Ra-
jinikanth kept everyone guessing about
his foray in politics. Ending the suspense
the 69-year-old Thalaiva, a non-Dravidi-
an, announced on Thursday that he will
launch his political party in January, 2021 and con-
test the Tamil Nadu assembly elections with the
promise of an honest government. In his tweet
Rajinikanth said, “In the upcoming assembly polls,
with people’s massive support, in Tamil Nadu, an
honest, transparent, corruption less, secular and
spiritual politics is sure to happen. Miracle, won-
der will happen.” Irrespective of the party in pow-
er in different states, politics in India is neither
honest, nor transparent or corruption less.
The announcement concealed more than it re-
vealed. Rajinikanth did not say whether his party
will contest the elections in alliance with the
Bharatiya Janata Party or separately. His stress on
secular and spiritual politics could be interpreted
as leaning towards the BJP, which welcomed the
announcement. The BJP had been trying hard to
persuade Rajinikanth to join the party. Even in 2004
he said he’d vote for the BJP but did not join it.
A non-Dravidians entry into Tamil Nadu poli-
tics is happening at a time when the two main Dra-
vidian parties---AIADMK and the DMK---are on the
decline. The AIADMK does not have a leader as
charismatic as Jayalalithaa and the DMK under
MK Stalin is not a force like it was under M. Karu-
nanidhi. If at the national level the Thalaiva has
been pro-BJP, in Tamil Nadu he backed the DMK
and opposed the AIADMK. His next move, there-
fore, would be keenly watched.

scheduled to tour Guja-
rat tomorrow, to gather
information from the
authorities about the
implementation of the
law there.
Chavan had recently
said if the law was en-
acted, along with prohi-
bition on slaughter, sale
and use of beef, also il-
legal transportation of
animals for slaughter-
ing will be stopped.
The BJP in its mani-
festo ahead of the 2018
assembly election had
promised prohibition
of cow slaughter.
Despite resistance
from opposition, the
then BJP government
led by B S Yediyurappa
in 2010 had got the con-
troversial Prevention
of Slaughter and Pres-
ervation of Cattle Bill
passed. It proposed to
replace the Karnataka
Prevention of Cow
Slaughter and Cattle
Preservation Act, 1964.
The bill had widened
the definition of ‘’cat-
tle’’ and imposed a blan-
ket ban on cattle slaugh-
ter, coupled with strin-
gent penalty clauses for
violation.
However, the Con-
gress government head-
ed by Siddaramaiah
that came to power in
2013, withdrew the bill
that was before the Pres-
ident for his assent. Af-
ter the BJP came back
to power in the state,
several party leaders
have been making a
pitch to re-enact the an-
ti-cow slaughter law.

New Delhi: Respond-
ing to vaccine impact

Director of AIIMS Dr
Randeep Guleria said
the case, is an inciden-
tal finding rather than
related to vaccine.
"As per the informa-

be related to the vac-
cine," Dr Guleria said.
Talking about the
safetyDr Guleria said
There is good data avail-
able that the vaccines
are very safe. Safety
and efficacy of vaccine
not compromised at all.
About 70,000-80,000 vol-
unteers were given the
vaccine and no signifi-
cant serious adverse ef-
fects seen. Data shows
that in the short term
vaccine is safe," the

(NCB) has suspended
two officials of its
Mumbai Zonal Unit for
their alleged suspicious
role which enabled two
persons in the ongoing
Bollywood-drugs mafia
investigation get relief,
official sources said.
The role of the two
investigating officials -
whose identities were

der a cloud after ac-
cused Harsh Limbachi-

ma Prakash got bail and
interim bail, respective-
ly, in November, an of-

Limbachiya is the
husband of high-profile
television comedian
Bharti Singh while Ka-
rishma Prakash is the
manager of leading Bol-
lywood actress Deepika
Padukone.
Some other officials
are likely to be under
the NCB scanner for
their questionable laps-
es in the matter that has
shaken up the organisa-

the high-profile cases
since the past nearly
four months.
New Delhi: The Centre
has opposed the life ban
on convicted politicians
from contesting MP/
MLA elections, forming
a political party or be-
coming an office bearer
of a party, telling the
Supreme Court that the
life ban on bureaucrats
cannot be equated with
similar ban on lawmak-
ers, if convicted in a
crime, as the latter are
not bound by service
conditions, but an oath
of office instead.
An affidavit filed by
the Ministry of Law
and Justice said: “It is
stated that there are no
specific service condi-
tions laid down in re-
spect of elected repre-
sentative albeit, the fact
that the people’s repre-
sentatives are public
servants. The elected
representatives are or-
dinarily bound by the
oath that they have tak-
en, to serve the citizens
of their constituency in
particular & the coun-
try in general.” The
Centre said the public
servants are debarred
from their service for
lifetime if convicted of
offence punishable un-
der provisions of vari-
ous laws, but a legisla-
tor, who is disqualified
for an offence, only for a
period specified in the
Representation of Peo-
ples Act.

the Supreme Court

and the Uttarakhand
Freedom Of Religion
Act, 2018.
The plea moved by

UP ordinance dis-
turbs the basic struc-

portant issue was
whether the Parlia-
ment has the power
to amend the funda-
mental rights en-
shrined under Part
III of the Constitu-

The petitioners
contended that the
Parliament has no
power to amend the

and if this ordinance
is implemented, it
will harm public at a

gram have been started
by the Housing Depart-
ment and the Agra De-
velopment Authority.
According to the pro-
posed DPR, Prime Min-
ister Modi’s speech will
be broadcast live at PAC
Ground.
Earlier, as per the
schedule released on 23
November, the founda-
tion stone of the Agra
Metro project was to be
laid on 1 December. In
this program, Chief
anath was also sup-
posed to come to Agra,
but according to infor-
mation received from
the Prime Minister’s
Office, the Prime Minis-
ter was not getting time
for the foundation stone
due to excessive busy-
ness.
Due to this, the foun-
dation stone program
was put forward.
Before the Agra Met-
ro foundation stone pro-
gram, the marking
work on the barricad-
ing being done on Fate-
habad Road has been
accelerated.
Here, three thousand
barricading boards are
installed on either side
of the divider. On

UP govt’s ‘love jihad’ law
challenged in Apex Court
Lucknow: The recent-
ly-promulgated Uttar
Pradesh government’s
law against “love ji-
had”, a term used to
describe the forced
conversion of non-
Muslim women to Is-
lam, has been chal-
lenged in the Supreme
Court.
Two lawyers and a
law researcher have
filed a PIL in the top
court against the Uttar
Pradesh Prohibition
of Unlawful Conver-
sion of Religion Ordi-
nance, 2020, seeking an
order to direct the au-
thorities not to give ef-
fect to the ordinance.
This comes days af-
ter the Yogi Adity-
anath-led state govern-
ment cleared the ordi-
nance, making forced
religious conversion
for the sake of mar-
riage a non-bailable of-
fence.
The law that aims to
counter alleged at-
tempts to convert Hin-
du women to Islam in
the guise of marriage,
which Hindu activists
refer to as love jihad,
could land violators
in jail for up to 10
years.
“The way in which
religious conversions
are done using deceit,
lies, force and dishon-
esty is heart-wrench-
ing, and it was neces-
sary to have a law in
this regard,” Cabinet

New Delhi: The Centre
on Thursday an-
nounced India’s top 10
best-performing police
stations from across the
country for the year
2020. The Kanth police
station of Moradabad
has been ranked eighth
in this ranking of top-10
police stations of the
country. This ranking is
based on various crite-
ria. At the top of these
are the number of
crimes related to prop-
erty disputes, crimes
against women and dis-
posal of crimes against
weaker sections in a po-
lice station.
The Ministry of
Home Affairs also sur-
veyed this year for the
best police stations un-
der challenging condi-
tions. This time it has
also been kept in a cat-
egory to follow the Co-
rona Protocol. The sur-
vey was done as per the
government guidelines.
The Government of
India selects the best-
performing police sta-
tions across the country
every year, to incentiv-
ise more effective func-
tioning and bring
healthy competition.
The top 10 police sta-
tions were selected
from a total of 16,671
police stations on cer-
tain parameters. From
these, 75 police stations
were selected for the
next stage, out of which
10 were selected as the
country’s best police
stations.
The government on
Thursday released a list
of the top 10 police sta-
tions in India for the

the list was in accord-
ance with Prime Minis-

Lucknow: Even though
there is still more than a
year left in the Uttar
Pradesh Assembly elec-
tions, yet, the political
parties have started
forming their own po-
litical equations and al-
liances. It is believed
that the major opposi-
tion parties of the state
are seen running on the
BJP’s 2017 alliance for-
mula. Instead of tying
up with big parties, the
opposition is joining
hands with caste-based
smaller parties.
The BJP had won the
the political battle in the
last election using this
strategy. SP chief Akh-
ilesh Yadav has said in-
stead of tying up with
parties like BSP and
Congress, SP will fight
together with smaller
parties. He is eyeing an
alliance with Chaud-
haryAjitSinghandSan-
jayChauhanof Janwadi
Party. Akhilesh has
hinted that Shivpal can
also be accommodated
by saying that he would
not field a candidate in
2022 against his uncle
Shivpal Singh Yadav. In
last polls, Akhilesh had
decided to fight the elec-
tion with the Congress
and lost. In the 2019 Lok
Sabha elections, Akh-
ilesh fought the elec-
tions in alliance with
Mayawati, but SP did
not get much benefit.
Akhilesh is now will-
ing to join hands with
smaller parties. Con-
gress is also planning
for a new experimen

Lucknow: The dream
of UP legislators and
ministers to promote
and facilitate families
and kin to contest
panchayat elections is
now falling apart.
Radha Mohan, new
BJP in-charge of UP, has
started work on the ‘UP
Mission’. Under this, a
strategy is being worked
out where the party
workers will be encour-
agedtofightthepanchay-

The BJP will take
groundfeedbackregard-
ing the panchayat polls
this month through re-

“Your children are not
your children. They are
thesonsanddaughtersof
Life’s longing for itself.”
—Kahlil Gibran.
Ahmedabad: If anyone
who has not only read
but also implemented
for sure this moving
counsel to parents by
the inimitable Kahlil Gi-
bran,itistheaffable,the
late Ahmed Patel, who
seldom even thought of
enforcing his political
inheritance on his son
Faisal and daughter
Mumtaz.
This is why it is with
clarity that both have
been telling the ever in-
quisitive media ever
sincetheveteranleader’s
untimely demise that
they aren’t keen on join-
ing politics, leave alone
succeedingAhmedPatel.
But Faisal and
Mumtaz seem to know
that politics is not just
aboutthemusicalchairs
that politicians play but
also about supportive
policies and action for
the social and economic
development of the
downtrodden, deprived
and marginalised.
So, the first thing the
two did after the last
rites of their father was
to reach out to the tribal
population in the
Bharuch region for
whom Ahmedbhai was
nothing less than an an-
gel, given his contribu-
tion for them. Among
several initiatives was a
hospital that he helped
set up in the area.
Faisal and Mumtaz
went and met the trib-
als in the area and reas-
sured them that though
their father was no
longer there, they
weren’t alone. “We are
with you,” Mumtaz told
the tribals. And Faisal
appealed to them to
“Pray for my father.
And yes, if you have
any work, tell me we are
with you.”
An apparently
moved Mumtaz went
into nostalgia as she
recalled, talking to
them: “We used to
come here to see Garba
when we were small,”
Mumtaz said. And
Faisal chipped in, “We
will keep coming to see
you”.
Ahmed followed Gibran’s words, his children walk dad’s path to tribals

Lucknow: The state
government on
Wednesday transferred
eight senior PCS offic-
ers. Seven officers have
been given new deploy-
ment in place of these
PCS officers.
PCS officer Rajneesh
Kumar Mishra, who
was sent from City
Magistrate Prayagraj
to the post of ‘Exami-
nation Control UP Sub-
ordinate Service Selec-
tion Commission Luc-
know’, his transfer has
been cancelled by the
government and he has
been retained as Mu-
nicipal Magistrate
Prayagraj.
Vinay Kumar Singh,
has been made Munici-
pal Magistrate Buland-
shahar. At the same
time, no one has been
posted at the Examina-
tion Control UP Subor-
dinate Services Selec-
tion Commission. ADM
FR PCS Rameshchan-
dra (second) posted in
Basti district has been
transferred as Addition-
al Commissioner in
Prayagraj Division.
PCS Pappu is the Sec-
retary Uttar Pradesh
Municipality Financial
Resource Development
Board, Lucknow.
Though he has been
sidelined with a posting
that is not considered to
be plump, in a case of
boon in disguise, he has
got what is actually a lu-
crative post.
First India Bureau
Lucknow: The Direc-
torate of Enforce-
ment, which is inves-
tigating the funding
done by PFI, has con-
ducted raids at sever-
al states including UP.
The action is being
taken on the FIR regis-
tered against PFI in re-
lation to its involve-
ment in the protest
against the ‘Citizenship
Amendment Act’ in
Delhi. The ED has con-
ducted raids at 26 places
across the country in-
cluding Lucknow and
Barabanki. ED is con-
ducting raids in Kerala,
Delhi, Rajasthan, Tamil
Nadu, Karnataka, Bi-
har and Maharashtra.
Nadeem, arrested
from Lucknow in the
violence related to CAA
and NRC, was a resi-
dent of Kursi area of
Barabanki.
On Thursday, a sud-
den raid was carried at
the house of a person
associated with the Pop-
ular Front of India in
Agasad village of Kurse
station area of Bara-
banki. Mubsir, a resi-
dent here, is accused of
being associated with
PFI.
Ahtesham Siddiqui
Lucknow: The govern-
ment is very sensitive
about transfers in Uttar
Pradesh. Every transfer
is hidden in such a way
that no one gets a clue.
Sudden transfer of a
senior officer of the For-
est Department on
Thursdayalsosurprised
everyone.
Indian Forest Service
officer Sanjay Pathak
has been removed and
given a side posting. IFS
Sanjay Pathak had
charge of Chief Conser-
vator of Forests Field
Director ‘Dudhwa Tiger
Reserve Lakhimpur’,
which is considered
quite a VIP posting.
After transferring
him from there, now he
has been made the Chief
Conservator of Forests
Varanasi which is infa-
mous as the worst post-
ing of the Forest Depart-
ment. The IFS rank of-
ficer has been suddenly
removed in such a way
that there is a stir in the
forest department. On
the other hand, Piyush
Mohan Srivastava, Re-
gional Forest Officer,
Katarniaghat Range
Forest Life Division, has
been transferred to Ku-
marganj Rain Ayodhya
Forest Division. In UP,
the transfer of IAS and
PCS officers was done
secretly, but for the first
time it is seen that in the
forest department also
the transfers are being
done in covertly.
IFS officer Sanjay Pathak is now posted as CCF Varanasi

YOUR
DAYHoroscope by

“Toto 8000 ft. Target in
sight, Bomb doors open,
Turn left left right , right,

bombs gone.
Hit the target dead on.
Close Bomb Doors,
Dive to 1500 ft and a sharp

to escape.”
his was the com-
mentary over 30-35
navigators gave on
4th December, as
they lay prone in
their Canberra B
(I) 58 nose to guide
and drop 8 x1000 lbs bomb
load each on pre -deter-
mined targets in Pakistan.
The Indian Air Force re-
lentlessly bombed Pakistani
targets of military value till
15th December. Be it Air-
bases, Radar stations, Rail-
way yards, bridges etc. This
was in retaliation to Paki-
stan’s pre-emptive strike on
11IndianAirForceBaseson
3rd December, 1971.
In the first ever free elec-
tions on 7 December 1970 in
otherwise military ruled
PakistantheAwami League
Party led by Sheikh Mujib
Ur Rahman won a land
slide victory securing 160
seats in a house of 300
against 81 by the PPP led by
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. This
was hard to digest by not
only Bhutto but also the
then military dictator Gen
Yahya Khan. West Pakistan
could not ruled by a Ben-
gali. Bengalis were over
joyed with the prospect of
ruling the west Pakistan.
This was not to be and the
Yahya- Bhutto combine ar-
rested Sheikh Mujib for
treason and put him in soli-
tary confinement.
East Pakistan loved their
charismatic Sheikh. They
declared their independ-
ence on 25th March, 1971.In
response west Pakistan
launched Operation
“Searchlight” against their
own mostly Muslim breth-
ren, leading to the deaths of
an estimated 1.3 million
citizens, making around 30
million homeless of which
10 million fled to India as
refugees.
To fight back, the East
Pakistanis formed the Muk-
ti Bahini, a brave guerilla
resistance force formed to
fight for freedom and life.
India’s PM at that time was
the Iron lady Indira Gandhi
and she pledged complete
moral and material support
to the future Bangladeshis
on behalf of their brothers
and sisters in India. India
also provided them some
basic armaments and mili-
tary training.
Giving them hope that
they might survive and one
day be free from the crazy
despotic rule of Yahya
Khan and Bhutto. That was
the match stick that lit the
sub-continent afire in 1971.
As war clouds loomed
again, the Indian Defence
Forces started preparing
for a third war. The Air
Force particularly the Can-
berras went in right ear-
nest to select and nominate
targets and prepare flight
plans. No. 16 Sqn, the “Co-
bras”, intensified High, Me-
dium and low-level flying
training carried out prac-
tice and live bombing train-
ing for all the crews.
Though a late comer to the
bombing fraternity, I was
lucky to be declared fully
ops in the nick of time to be
qualified to be detailed for
ops sorties. The Squadron
led by the legendary ace Wg
Cdr P (Pete) Gautam MVC,
VM and cool as a cucumber,
Flt Cdr Sqn Ldr MM Takle
and Nav Ldr Sqn Datta was
full of experienced crew.
On the evening of 3rd De-
cember, officers received a
message to report to the un-
derground Ops room imme-
diately. The OC Wg Cdr
Gautam addressed the offic-
ers that the much-awaited
moment had arrived and
announced the crews for
the sorties and targets.
Individual briefing was
carried out by the Flt Cdr.
The squadron launched
about 94 bombing and inter-
diction sorties on both east
and west Pakistan sectors
during the 13 day conflict
droppingover7lakhpounds
of bombs on our adversary.
The damage caused can be
imagined by the fact that
complete Air Superiority
was achieved in the East Pa-
kistan within four days and
our Army with full support
of the Airforce started mov-
ing swiftly towards Dhaka,
the full complement of the
16 Sqn Cobras now bombing
west Pakistan targets. I per-
sonally flew 11 sorties, in-
cluding five bombing mis-
sions across the border dur-
ing the 13 day war.
America realising Paki-
stan’s hapless position
started putting pressure on
India to stop the war and in
the process moved its 7th
Fleet to the Bay of Bengal .
But the Indian Prime Min-
ister, instead of bowing
down, put pressure on the
Armed Forces to finish the
job, which they did and on
15thDecember, Gen Niazi
with over 93000 troops sur-
rendered to Gen Arora.
Thus came the curtain
down on one of the great
achievements of the Indian
Armed on one hand and the
will and grit of Prime Min-
ister Indira Gandhi on the
other.
REMEMBERING 1971
LIBERATION OF BANGLADESHThe war of liberation of Bangladesh was fought from 4 to 16 December. It was a story of India’s victory, Pakistan’s
surrender and Bangladesh’s freedom.The Indian Armed Forces brought Pakistani army to its knees, took 93,000 Pakistani
prisoners and gave 75 million people of Bangladesh their independence.The war started when Pakistan launched air
strikes on 11 Indian airbases. It was perhaps the first time in which India’s all three forces fought in unison.
Wg. Cdr. Sukhveer Dhankhar, who fought the 1971 war shares his memories today!
