Gen. Kapoor's statement outlandish, says Gen. Tariq

[HAIDER]

ISLAMABAD: Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Committee General Tariq Majid on Saturday rubbished the Indian media report which states that the Indian Armed Forces are preparing to fight China and Pakistan.

"Leave alone China, General Deepak Kapoor knows very well what the Indian Armed Forces can not and what the Pakistan Armed Forces can pull off militarily," said General Tariq Majid.

He was responding to a question on the Indian Army Chief’s jingoistic pronouncement of Indian military preparations to fight China and Pakistan simultaneously.

General Majid said he doubted the veracity of the Indian media report attributed to General Kapoor, saying that "he (Kapoor) could not be so outlandish in strategic postulations to fix India on a self destruct mechanism."

General Majid further said that if the news report is correct, then the statements of Indian Army Chief are uncalled for and only "display a lack of strategic acumen." –DawnNews

Indian army chief knows well what his forces cannot do: Gen.Tariq

ISLAMABAD Jan 02 (APP): Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Tariq Majid on Saturday said the Indian army chief General Kapoor knows very well what the Indian armed forces cannot and Pakistan Armed Forces can pull off militarily.

He was responding to a question about jingoistic remarks attributed to Gen. Kapoor in an Indian media report about India’s military preparations to fight China and Pakistan simultaneously.

General Tariq Majid said:”Leave alone China, General Deepak Kapoor knows very well what the Indian Armed Forces cannot and Pakistan Armed Forces can pull off militarily.”

He however doubted veracity of the Indian media report that attributed the remarks to the Indian army chief.

“General Kapoor could not be so outlandish in strategic postulations to fix India on a self-destruct mechanism. But if the news report is correct, the uncalled for rhetoric only betrays lack of strategic acumen,” General Tariq said.

Poor Gen Kapoor!! Seems like he desperately wants national attention at any cost and fib!

Our brass knows very well the capability of India and so a more categorical & decent statement based on the facts from JSHQ boss.

Any comments from China on the recent Indian wishful thinking?

On paper, Joint Chief of Staff is the most senior general and most powerful but in reality COAS is most powerful general and has much more power then Joint Chief of Staff.JOINT CHIEF OF Staff is not VCOAS.VCOAS position afaik is active only during Marshal Law..in other words there is no VCOAS right now.Joint Chief of Staff General basically keeps relations good between all three services and improve coordination of all three services (Air Force, Navy and the Army)

 

[Tomahawk]

Certainly, very well responded by Gen. Tariq. By the way there was not any real need of such a statement at this point of time by Indian General, but as we have seen that these type of statements keeps on coming and will keep on coming.

Gen. Tariq Majid is the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Commitee which encompass all 3 Armed Services of Pakistan. The Committee is there to help promote synergy, coordination and consultation among the Services. In other words, he is the highest ranking military official in the country. The Service Chiefs (namely COAS, ACM, Naval Admiral) are all members of the Chiefs of Staff Commitee; individually they are in charge solely of their respective Services.


to put it into perspective, Gen. Majid's American counterpart would be ADM Mike Mullen. Gen. Kayani Saab's counterpart would be Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey ---though there is more coordination and contact with Gen. Petraeus as he is also CENTCOM Commander.


hope that helped......

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

Patterson Terms Remarks of Indian Army Chief as 'Silly'​

ISLAMABAD: US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne Patterson termed the recent remarks of Indian Army Chief General Kapoor as 'silly' and said that India and Pakistan should address their issues bilaterally to ensure progress in both countries.

In an exclusive interview with DawnNews on Thursday night, the US envoy said that there was enormous potential for economic progress if India and Pakistan got together.

The countries have complementary markets and commercial implications of the good relations between them are enormous, she said.

Anne Patterson said that if the Pakistan government has any evidence of Indian involvement in Balochistan, her country will be keen to play a role in addressing the situation. rolleyes

She felt the immediate need for reestarting composite dialogue between India and Pakistan and resumption of confidence building measure.

Appreciating the efforts of Pakistan army in combating the terrorists in Swat and South Waziristan the US envoy said, Pakistan army has pursued this war very courageously and they have rendered big sacrifices in it.

She expressed confidence in Pakistan government for spending KLB's assistance money for development of infrastructure in FATA and South Waziristan.

She also lauded Benazir Income Support Programme saying this programme is being appreciated by the comity of nations adding there would be no harm if the money of US assistance reaches the deserving people through this programme.

To a question the American envoy said that withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan would be condition- based.

“We have to train and equip the Afghan security forces to replace the US and Nato troops before leaving the country”, the Ambassador said.

Commenting on the reports of presence of US security officials in Gwadar the envoy said, they visited the area to advance the visit of aid directors to assess the projects being financed through KLB.

She said there was no American in Pakistan without visa or proper documentation adding some people were floating such speculations in the media to undermine the relationship of two countries.

“We do not have Blackwaters in Pakistan and all information in this regard in foreign and local media was nonsense,” she said.
