In a bid to give the fitted reply to the
Militants attack recently, India has carried out "surgical strikes" in
Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir and destroyed the training camp of the terrorists.
The strike was aim to prevent terrorists who were prepping
to infiltrate and attack the Kashmir region and metros.
According to Indian Army, sources it has
been a matter of serious concern that there has been continuing and increasing
infiltration by terrorists across Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir. This is
reflected, amongst others, in the terrorist attacks on 11 and 18 September 16
in Punch and Uri respectively. Almost 20 infiltration attempts have also been
foiled by the Army at or close to the Line of Control during this year.
Indian army said that based on receiving
specific and credible inputs that some terrorist teams had positioned
themselves at launch pads along Line of Control to carryout infiltration and
conduct terrorist strikes inside Jammu and Kashmir and in various metros in
other states, the Indian Army conducted surgical strikes at several of these
launch pads to pre-empt infiltration by terrorists. The operations were
focussed on ensuring that these terrorists do not succeed in their design to
cause destruction and endanger the lives of our citizens.
During these counter terrorist
operations significant casualties were caused to terrorists and those providing
support to them. The operations aimed at neutralizing terrorists have since
ceased. We do not have any plans for further continuation. However, the Indian
Armed Forces are fully prepared for any contingency that may arise.
Indian army has made it clear that it is
India’s intention to maintain peace and tranquillity in the region. But we
cannot allow the terrorists to operate across the Line of Control with impunity
and attack citizens of our country at will. In line with Pakistan’s commitment
in January 2004 not to allow its soil or territory under its control to be used
for attacks against India, we expect the Pakistani army to cooperate with us to
erase the menace of terrorism from the region.
