Remembering the Kargil War.....

Irrespective of the countries, politics keeps dancing on both sides of their borders. The love, culture and feelings of those people of that politics are covered.

She added that Ottawa will carefully examine the offer. Canada has committed to buying 16 F-35A aircraft from Lockheed Martin as part of
