'They can kill us all, but they will not take an inch of our territory'Election time, and rhetoric flows. And so it does, in Jammu and Kashmir, as from a dam fresh-opened. Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah brooks no brook as he lets patriotism loose. ''They can kill us all, but they will not take an inch of our territory," he says, "We know that they will send militants to attack us to lift the morale of their defeated forces, but I am sure that our forces will defeat their designs successfully." The chief minister, for your information, is at the Badami Bagh cantonment. He is paying tribute to Colonel Balbir Singh, who was killed by militants in an ambush in Kupwara. "After facing humiliating defeat in Kargil, we knew Pakistan would open new fronts," the CM continues. Among his audience are Jammu and Kashmir Governor Girish Chandra Sexana, 15 Corps commander Lieutenant General Krishan Pal, Major General R K Kaushal, Director General of Police Gurbachan Jagat and other senior army officers. "Remain extra vigilant to teach them a lesson," he advises. UNI
