◆'Partition was not best solution, only led to confrontation'
【Sonipat】Partition was not necessarily the best solution for India and Pakistan as it only led to confrontation between the two neighbours that led to wars with disastrous consequences for development and democracy. This was among the views expressed at a day-long India-Pakistan youth dialogue here.
 Ishtiaq Ahmed, Professor Emeritus at Stockholm University and Visiting Professor at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan, said in his inaugural address at the event that the so-called Hindu-Muslim problem was not really solved by the partition of the Indian subcontinent. It simply converted it into an India-Pakistan confrontation with wars that resulted in disastrous consequences for democracy, development and pluralism.
○Brahmos with Sukhoi-30 fighters to improve India's strike options
【Nashik】There will soon be a more practical way of retaliating against a foreign-backed terrorist attack on Indian soil than mobilising our 1.6 million-strong military for a war that might trigger a nuclear conflagration.
 Instead, New Delhi will soon be able to punish terrorists harbouring across the border with surgical strikes from Brahmos cruise missile, fitted on Sukhoi-30MKI fighters.
 The supersonic Brahmos, jointly developed by India and Russia, already equips Indian warships and artillery units. Yet its limited range of 295 kilometres means that targets far across the border are out of reach. That will change once Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL), Nashik, fits the Brahmos onto the Sukhoi-30MKI fighter, allowing the missile to be carried for over a thousand kilometres and then launched at a target another 295 kilometres away.
○UPA move to appoint next army chief morally incorrect:VK Singh
【New Delhi】Former Army chief and BJP's Lok Sabha candidate V K Singh today attacked the UPA government for its move to appoint the next Army chief, saying it was "morally and ethically" incorrect and the new Cabinet formed after the polls should take a final call on the issue.
 In a statement here, General (retd) Singh clarified his stand on the appointment of present chief Gen Bikram Singh's successor, and said his decision to impose a 'discipline and vigilance (DV)' ban on Lt Gen Dalbir Suhag was justified as the court martial had found all the accused guilty.
