Other fighting occurred along the cease-fire line in Kashmir, where Indian and West Pakistani forces fought a brief but bloody war in 1965. According to Pakistani officials, the cease-fire rules in Kashmir re- quire that when an incident has occurred the commanders of op- posing Indian and Pakistani ranger forces immediately consult. This time, the spokesman said, when the Pakistani commanders went to talk with the Indians, they were met by regular Indian troops who fired on them. The Indian at- tacks were said to have been sup- ported by artillery and fighter bombers. In the first 12 hours of fighting in East Pakistan, at least 150 Pak- istani troops were killed, an Indian military spokesman in Calcutta claimed. He did not disclose Indian casualties. Most of the casualties were in- flicted at Darsana, a road and rail center close to the border on the road to the major Pakistani gar- rison town of Jessore, he added. He said 100 Pakistani soldiers were killed there and large quantaties of arms and ammunition were cap- tured. On the other hand, Radio Paki- stan reported that Indian forces all along the East Pakistani border were "being effectively met." It reported severe fighting in the Jes- sore district.

There was no confirmation from West Pakistan but Radio Pakistan claimed 36 Indian aircraft were destroyed in two days' fighting. India asserted 33 Pakistani planes were destroyed, while it lost 11. Ram told Parliament that some ground had been lost around Fer- ozepore, an Indian border city 200 miles northwest of New Delhi but did not say how much. Navy planes from India's only aircraft carrier attacked East Pak- istan's main port of Chittagong. The Defense Ministry claimed two gunboats, fuel dumps, hangars and other strategic targets were de- stroyed. The commander of the East Pak- istani operation, Lt. Gen. Jagjit Singh Aurora, said in Calcutta: "My aim is to make the Pakistani forces surrender, and I should like to carry on until then." The general reported his forces' had advanced up to three miles into East Pakistan from the west, and said there had been sharp fighting, with the Pakistanis fight- ing well. He thought the Pakistani army "will fight to the bitter end. They know that if they don't they are finished anyway." The day began dramatically with Prime Minister Indira Gandhi tell- ing Parliament that "this morning the government of West Pakistan declared war upon us. Foreign Secretary T. N. Kaul told a news conference in New Delhi: "We are going to assert our right to self-defenses and we shall take every appropriate action to safeguard the integrity and the sovereignty." ' "India has no intention of an- nexing any territory of Pakistan,' Ram said. "What we want is that Pakistan should live as a friendly neighbor and cherish values of de- mocracy and secularism which in modern times is regarded as good, and human values." But, he assured the solemn house, "Pakistan will be taught such a lesson that they will remember it for all times to come."
