India-Pakistan war: Kashmir war continues:; ***ALSO AVAILABLE AS FS120965001*** b: INDIA: New Delhi: EXT CMS YASHWANTRAO CHAVAN (Indian Defence Minister): OUTSIDE: SOF: (Lead in Q: How successful has India been in the fighting?). I should say out objectives have really been achieved. The whole thing, to being with, started with the infiltrators coming into Kashmir. But, as you know, we have liquidated quite a large number of them. We have tried to occupy some of the areas from which they jumped down into that valley. In Chamb sector things are improving, so I think our objectives are achieved. (Q: Recent reports from the front seem to be more gloomy, suggesting that Indian forces have in fact suffered some reversals, are they serious?). Not at all. I have just got very good news from the front which showed that our troops are doing very well there. I have just got the news that nearly seventeen Patton tanks surrendered. (Q: They've actually surrendered?). Surrendered. (Q: Where was this?). In the Lahore sector. (Q: How concerned are you about Communist Chine's latest threat of intervention along the Sikkim frontier?). Well, as far as the Chinese threat is concerned, as you know the threat is there for the last three years, and it is continuing threat. We have always taken note of it and acted accordingly, well, now it will be for us to wait and watch and see. NEG: 16mm: Mathra: 1.22 mins: 51 ft: 12.9.65/10pm: spare print: & opt track:
