TV anchor's 'insult' did not prompt surgical strikes
Reports claiming that an "insulting" question by a TV anchor to Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore made former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar plan surgical strikes were found to be false. Parrikar had said he started planning the mission on June 9, 2015, after he felt insulted when a small terrorist organisation killed 18 soldiers in Manipur, the "corrected" report read.
