DEFENCE DAY 2018
Our students Perform at Ae Jawan Ae Jawan Jeet Hai Tera Nishan. For a special Tribute to our National Heroes.The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 began with Pakistan sending 7,000–8,000 specially trained Mujahid raiders into the Kashmir Valley with the objective of inciting the population into rebellion and dislocating the Indian Army installations. In the second stage, on 1 September, it launched a tank attack, dubbed Operation Grand Slam, towards the Akhnoor bridge in the Jammu Division. It was intended to be a "short and swift, fait accompli operation".According to scholar Shuja Nawaz, the Pakistani general intended to capture the Akhnoor bridge and swing towards Jammu to cut off India's communications with the Kashmir Valley.The Pakistanis had ignored the Indian Prime Minister's warnings that India would retaliate on Pakistan if Kashmir was attacked.
On 6 September, according to its "pre-declared strategy"of riposte, the Indian Army crossed the international border in Punjab with the objective of cutting off the Grand Trunk Road near Lahore. The attack came as a surprise to the Pakistani commanders. According to Air Marshal Nur Khan, the Army Chief General Musa Khan told the President on the second day of the war that the Army had run out of ammunition. He states that the Army suffered heavy losses in the war.On 23 September, Pakistan accepted a UN-mandated ceasefire
WOW!
