We missed a chance in 1972: Advani
New Delhi:
Senior BJP leader L.K. Advani on Saturday maintained that India lost an opportunity to resolve the Kashmir issue in the wake of the surrender of more than 90,000 Pakistani troops in the 1971 Bangladesh war.
``It was the biggest surrender since World War II. Had the government of the day used this advantage properly in summit talks with Pakistan in Shimla in 1972, the Kashmir issue could have been solved once and for all,'' the former Deputy Prime Minister said in a statement, marking the 35th anniversary of the creation of Bangladesh. ``Sadly, India frittered away a historic opportunity.''
He offered tribute to Indian heroes of the Bangladesh conflict as he remembered Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora and Maj. Gen. J.F.R. Jacob for their role in the war. — PTI
