Col Anil Athale, perhaps is the first author who has tried to judge the ongoing controversy in correct perspective. The so called 'super sensational disclosure; hyped more by India media than the reality, appears to be well planned to divert attention from the truth - whatever it may mean. Just visualise - the timing, Advani in Pak for a week, communal uprising in Pak only a fortnight back and gestures of 'goodwill & bad will' - (read between the lines)- Huriyat Delegation on J& K Front; Bole So Nihal controversy- old ISI planlk; Bofors et al, are all good recipes for intellectuals/defence/media channels and experts to deliberate upon for good next few weeks. Remember, Pak media (other than NEWS Daily) has not supported/denied/ or hyped that much as Indian media has done, barring a few channels. And what the living Indian veterans of Brigadier level of those times have said shows indirectly that many a time, as is the practice in journalism release of a book and much more commonly used ploy is to raise or get raised some controversy at or around the release of a film especially in Bollywood.
