Can you tell me what is happening in Kargil
Jai (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:12 IST)
Major, are u Late or are u in Kargil ??
Raghupati (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:17 IST)
Major Mehta: Do u think the bus diplomacy has failed?
Kargil (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:17 IST)
General Mehta: When do you think the Kargil crisis will end?

hello, sir, are you there?
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:32 IST)
i don't understand pakis much, they lost Bangladesh and they think they won the battles there, now their armymen are dying in Kargil and still they seem to be happy ? is it some suicidal mentality?
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:33 IST)
Major thanks for coming and for defending our land against these pests. If Pakistan can attack our side of the Loc, why aren't we attacking Moslem terrorist training camps along the Pakistani held LoC ? Reports from Western sources say that these camps are being set-up to train Jihaadee Moslems in moutaineering warfare and are close to the LoC.
Raja Pakistani (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:33 IST)
Hello Major
kernel (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:34 IST)
good evening, general sir.
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:35 IST)
Secondly we are launching sophisticated rockets which includes basic technologies like telemetry, guidance and control, etc. How is it then that IA does not have night attack helos, isn't able to jam the enemy's comm radio signals, have field computers that present a unified battlefield scenario?! Surely if India can build sophisticated rocket and satellites, it can build these toys also, to make the job easier and less expensive!
Raja Pakistani (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:35 IST)
Major Congratulations on the success for Op Vijay. can u talk something about how these infiltrators can be thrown out
Drass (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:36 IST)
Generalsaab: Do you believe the army brass let down its guard after the Lahore declaration?
Ugly man (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:36 IST)
Major General Ashok Mehta: How l0ng will it take for us to throw the intruders behind the LoC?
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:37 IST)
Is it true to guess that Pakistan has raised the quality of armaments these "jihaadees" have and now it's very possible that a Stinger will be shot in Indian territory? Will India hold Pakistanis responsible for this act then?
Batalik (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:38 IST)
There is a feeling that the army is exaggerating its successes in Kargil. How would they know if 400 intruders have been killed, for instance?
Kupwara (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:39 IST)
General: Whom would you blame for this catastrophic collapse of intelligence? RAW or MI?
kernel (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:41 IST)
sir, going back some distance in history, do you think it was our biggest blunder not to have finished pakistan in 1971? or at least taken back kashmir and lahore?
Ram (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:41 IST)
Some of the Pakistan's newspapers report (eg. Dawn) that 10 students killed in Indian firing in a border village of the Neelum Valley in Azad Kashmir... Is this true?
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:42 IST)
Why are we letting the Moslem Jihaadees go back in a negotiated settlement? Why don't we force them to surrender or kill them all?
kernel (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:43 IST)
In a nuclearised scenario, what do you think are our options to deal with this invasion, because shorn of all the rhetoric, that's what it is, an invasion.
Raj (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:46 IST)
Mj Mehta: G evening...
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:47 IST)
Major General: It's true that the Pakistani COAS was in China recently and then during April, the Chinese defence minister cancelled important meetings because of "emerging circumstances."
Wouldn't it be prudent to assume that China (Pakistan's master) is making these moves to embarrass the BJP (which has set of nukes and missiles that are dangerous for China?)
Batalik (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:49 IST)
There is a feeling that the army is exaggerating its successes in Kargil. How would they know if 400 intruders have been killed, for instance? And how can there be hand-to-hand combat?!
Kupwara (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:49 IST)
General: Whom would you blame for this catastrophic collapse of intelligence? RAW or MI? How did we not notice 800 people?
Leh (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:50 IST)
How difficult is it gathering intelligence across the LoC?
kernel (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:51 IST)
Honestly, sir, I agree with eagle. Why can we not use their own tactics to good effect and liberate at least parts of occupied Kashmir?
Gopinath MM (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:51 IST)
Don't you think simply cutting supplies to the area and encircling will force the infiltrators to surrender?
milind (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:51 IST)
Sir, I have been told by some of my friends that these intruders were getting in to these places from last 5 to 6 months then why we could not spot them then and there itself ,or were we not aware of it sir please let me know.
Jag (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:52 IST)
Can we believe that the infiltrators lost some 500 of their men.
Drass (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:52 IST)
General Mehta: Was it not obvious that the Pakistanis would try to make use of the fact that we vacated the Kargil posts in the winter and fill it?
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:53 IST)
Major General: It's assumed that India has some spy satellites that are being used. Why did ISRO launch civilian Ocean monitoring satellite recently and not some more imaging satellites? Is this a spy satellite for the Indian armed forces too?
eagle (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:55 IST)
Major General: If hundreds of Moslem terrorists have been killed, and the videos taken, why isn't the Indian Army releasing pictures so that the world can see who these Jihaades really are?
Ram (Wed Jun 2 1999 7:59 IST)
China, based on the history, always has a reputation of playing double roles with India. So we can never ever trust them. Majorji, based on the recent nuclear espionage by china in US and Pakistan's links with China, is there a possibility that US would side India at least now? Will the world realize that India is the biggest peace loving country in this universe?
benz (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:4 IST)
Major General: Thanks a lot for defending our land and thanks a lot for representing a thoroughly professional army force (unlike our Islamic neighbour Pakistan)
SANTOSH PAWAR (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:15 IST)
Gen.Mehta, why doesn't India start a proper diplomatic and international propaganda to thoroughly expose pakistan's evil designs and present to the world all the proofs and documents openly and nail it ince and for all, whay all this knee-jerk attitude all the time. Why does India have to REPLY to Pakistan's overtures and not Expose it and hit it nicely at every opportunity?
Brahmastra (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:22 IST)
Has the Major General left already?
SANTOSH PAWAR (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:22 IST)
Gen.Mehta, what i wanted to say was that when we have MIRAGE 2000 and SUKHOIs why don't we use them which are so efficient and versatile in warfare and i think they should be more successful in eliminating the intruders than the MIGs and MIs.

Uday Singh (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:24 IST)
Just now I read the news on rediff Kargil Shelling : DD building is on fire ! Is our army so weak that they cannot get some intruders ?
kernel (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:26 IST)
sir, how real is the threat of this becoming an all-out war?
Manoj (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:27 IST)
General Mehta: Why and where do you think that the Indian Army failed to detect and prevent the infiltrators into Kargil sector?
kernel (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:27 IST)
sir, don't you think that once the invaders are cleared out, the army will have to set up permanent posts in the area?
kernel (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:28 IST)
sir, i was reading just yesterday on Rediff that the government erred in not having squadron leader ajay ahuja's body subjected to a post-mortem by an international jury. why do we keep making such stupid mistakes? don't even army and air hq know of these formalities?
vkumar (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:38 IST)
I perceive a full scale war by end of this month? What are your thoughts? Also, if they launch nuclear arsenal, can we destroy them rather than let the bomb fall somewhere in India? Thanks for your time.
ashish (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:41 IST)
good evening sir I would like to know how come the commanders whose area of operation it was did not know of the terrorists hide out. I think there were aerial recce and also some LR foot petrols were suppose to be sent. secondly what was Raw doing.
zeta (Wed Jun 2 1999 8:44 IST)
salutations sir, i would like to know if the army has opened a cell for accepting the donations fron NRIs and if yes, what are the details?

Is there any lobbying effort underway to force the GOI to adopt a more proactive security policy ? Can anything be done ?
vrunda (Wed Jun 2 1999 10:13 IST)
Sir, i would like to know whether the acclimatized soldier strength is proper or not in the valley. Or if that is an improper question, how many soldiers does india need to be acclimatized?
vrunda (Wed Jun 2 1999 10:16 IST)
if everyone of us is asking improper questions, why can't the General say something on his own?
