Frankly the depths to which Times of India has taken journalism, defies logic. Case in point the above story which has all the makings of a standard anti insurgency operation..that is till one reads the story.....
Statement: Blah blah...busted...yadi yadi ydada...... huge cache of arms and essential commodities (What??? Essential for who? or rather what? )
it Gets better... blah blah SSP stated that post a search they recovered
- One .303 Rifle (for those not in the know this is British Army Issue equipment circa 1940) - did anyone check whether this was working?
- IED (a bag of fertilizer perhaps? )
- A grenade - ok this is a bit more realistic
- "....several essential commodities and eatables were also recovered" - right...
So defunct arms, and food was recovered. I think we should declare a UN holiday now that the militants are reduced to smuggling and hoarding food (and its not even winter yet!!).
oh.. and they are still tracking the militants who are at large sans a .303 and probably starving (food having been confiscated) - so exactly who got busted here?
I don't know who's providing more entertainment for the locals there - the journalists (stringers) or the local havaldars??
