Was USA Really Interested in Independent Kashmir Or Communist Propaganda
Punchline Red Herring and Truth By Z. G. Muhammad Like Banquo’s ghost in Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, Adlai Stevenson revisits Kashmir’s political narrative at regular intervals. For more than eleven years his ghost persistently hovered over the political horizons of Srinagar, Jammu, and Delhi- inside the court rooms, in the Parliament and public places.

That is how best one can describe the controversy sparked after The Indian Express in its 20 September 2013 issue carried a report about findings of an army probe into ‘misusing’ of funds by former Army Chief General V.
