OPERATION CACTUS

#ashokasays Did you know 95 :

We have been knowing somethings about Indian Army heroics in India through this series since few days. But it's not just India alone the Indian Army has helped.. get to know the work done by Indian Army in Maldives in 1988..
TheƂ 1988 Maldives coup d'tat, was the attempt by a group of Maldivians led by Abdullah Luthufi and assisted by armed mercenaries of a Tamil secessionist organisation from Sri Lanka, the People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam(PLOTE), to overthrow the government in the island republic of Maldives. The coup d'tat failed due to the intervention of the Indian Army, whose military operations efforts were code-named Operation Cactus by the Indian Armed Forces.
