In a story slugged GA-PARRIKAR- STRIKES sent on June 30, PTI erroneously reported that an "insulting" question by a TV anchor prompted the then Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar to plan last year's surgical strikes in PoK. Parrikar in fact said he felt "insulted" by a June 4, 2015 ambush on an Indian Army convoy by the north-eastern militant group NSCN-K. The PoK surgical strike was planned after that attack. The error is regretted. A corrected version has been sent under DEL12.
