Apologia for the Army

Apologia for the Army THE recent report of a Press Council team on the media situation in Kashmir and Punjab is entitled 'Crisis and Credibility'. A better title would have been 'Onward Indian Soldiers...'. The entire report, the main body of which is devoted to Kashmir, is a paean to the glorious role that the Indian army is playing in that state and questions the credibility of journalists and civil liberties groups which had been highlighting cases of violation of human rights by the army there.
