[Reader-list] Kashmir-Tanks on busy market squares - Harsh Mander

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Well! Well! Well!
 
Mander is Ex IAS. Doesn't speak well of IAS.
 
Tanks have 'Tracks' and APCs (at least in India) are wheeled. The girth and general size are distinctly different.
 
I thought highly of Mander after his resigning from Govt service as a protest against the 'Gujarat Riots". But now .....

A common mistake that people make when they come across armoured vehicles
with LMGs mounted on top.

If it is true then it is shameful.

The quote is from a Press Release (02/09/08) by 'Kashmiri American
