Indian forces alert surprises Pakistan.
Akhtar Jamal
IslamabadPeace initiatives received a fresh setback when India on Monday put its armed forces on alert and New Delhi was preparing for a Unified Commanders Conference which will be attended by top commanders of all the three services on April 24.
The news of alertness of Indian armed forces along Pakistans frontiers also coincided with final touches to the launching of Indias longest-range Agni-V missile which can reach not only every corner of China but also Europe and Middle East.
What surprised Pakistani defence observers is the fact that Indian Defence Minister AK Antony on Monday asked the armed forces to be more vigilant following small-scale isolated attacks in Kabul. The situation in ****** region continues to be a cause of concern, the Indian minister argued and asked his top Army commanders to remain vigilant along border with Pakistan. Antony asked the commanders to be more vigilant and to take appropriate steps in the light of yesterdays developments in Afghanistan which saw a series of suicide bomb attacks, Defence Ministry officials said. On April 10, Antony had also addressed the top commanders of the Indian Air Force (IAF) and had expressed confidence over the state of preparedness of the three armed services.
Indian Defence Minister is now expected to address the Unified Commanders Conference on April 24.
Defence experts have noted that while speaking peace in the region, India has embarked on a spree of purchase of billions of dollars worth of military, air force and naval hardware. New Delhi has built Agni- V which is the longest-range ballistic missile and inducted nuclear submarines in recent weeks.
Agni-V missile system has the capability for speedy deployment and a a range of over 5,000 km. Agni-V will also have the capability to carry multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRV) and payload will be able to deliver up to 10 nuclear warheads in a single launch assigned to different widely separated targets.
