Which of the following statements regarding the India-Pakistan war in 1971 is/are true?
- Yahya Khan signed the instrument of surrender on behalf of Pakistan.
- Chief of Indian army during this war was J.S. Arora.
Choose the correct option from the following.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Lt. Gen. A.A.K. Niazi signed the Instrument of Surrender on Pakistan's behalf, not Yahya Khan, so statement 1 is false. J.S. Aurora was the GOC-in-C of the Eastern Command who accepted the surrender, not the Chief of the Indian Army, that role belonged to General Sam Manekshaw, so statement 2 is false as worded.
