Kill Terrorist with Terrorist : Parrikar

[Suman]

Saying he would take “proactive steps” to meet any threat to the country, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar Thursday said “you have to neutralise terrorist through terrorist only”.

To make his point, he quoted a Hindi saying “kaante se kaanta nikaalte hain” (you have to extract a thorn with a thorn) and said: “Why can’t we do it? We should do it. Why my soldier has to do it all the time?”

Responding to a question at Manthan Aaj Tak in New Delhi, Parrikar said: “If any country, why Pakistan, is planning something against my country, I will take proactive steps. Of course, not in the public domain. But what I have to do, I will do it. Whether it is diplomatic, whether it is pressure tactics or whether it is using the… woh usko bolte hain na Marathi mein kaante se kaanta nikaalte hain… Hindi mein bhi rahega… you have to neutralise terrorist through terrorist only.”

He said this government is different from the previous one because it has given the Army a free hand to tackle terrorists through intelligence.

“Many attempts have been foiled and many neutralisations have taken place… if you see, recent incidents… Army knew about the hideout of the terrorists, they took them on at the place of their hiding… Security forces go by the guarantee of the government standing by them… and I can tell as a Defence Minister, I stand by the Army at any cost.”

He said the Army has been given standing instructions to shoot armed infiltrators, ensure minimum collateral damage and no loss of life of its own.

“Do not allow loss of life from our side. But take precautions that you do not make collateral damage… woh precaution lena hi hai (we have to take that precaution). You don’t touch civilians, unarmed. But if some one (is) with arms, shoot him… The instruction has a further line: do not allow loss of life from our side as far as possible. Use whatever equipment, people from our side,” he said, referring to incidents in which Army men have been killed while fighting terrorists.

He also spoke on the New Year day incident involving a Pakistani boat off Porbandar. “I took the flak (over the incident). I could have said that the Coast Guard may have done something wrong. No, they did not. I inquired everything, but I realised that they did not do anything wrong and followed the SOP (standard operating procedure). They should not be made to suffer. May be some people quoted Karachi sources. I am surprised. How can you quote Karachi for a defence matter of India?”

The Indian Express had reported that there were doubts on the Coast Guard claim of an explosion on board the boat. Later, a Board of Inquiry indicted Coast Guard DIG B K Loshali for his remark on February 16 that he had ordered the Pakistani boat to be “blown off” on the night of December 31-January 1.

Whether it is diplomatic, whether it is pressure tactics or whether it is using the… woh usko bolte hain na Marathi mein kaante se kaanta nikaalte hain… Hindi mein bhi rahega… you have to neutralise terrorist through terrorist only.

Did he say that???
This can be misconstrued as supporting terror groups in Pakistan, i hope he understands that he made a blunder. I wasnt expecting this from someone as intelligent as Parrikar.

I can tell as a Defence Minister, I stand by the Army at any cost.”

Glad that finally our forces got the kind of DM they wanted.

 

[Viny]

Very wrong statement, he needs to understand what to say and what not to.

And using terrorist against terrorist will not solve any problem, its like to fill up a hole you dig another one.

 

[Styx]

I think this is an indication that another TSD like special forces unit has been set up and has infiltrated kashmiri terror groups

This can misconstrued as supporting terror groups in Pakistani hope he understands that he made a blunder. I wasnt expecting this from someone as intelligent as Parrikar.

agreed, there is too much "RAW did it" propaganda in pakistan these days anyway, our anti terror tactics should not be revealed.. was it a blunder ? or, maybe a psyop to create panic in enemy ranks ?

 

[doppelganger]

Nothing new. We have been doing this for close to 15 years now.

I've said this before, I'll say it again.

India holds all the cards. And India gets to decide when and if to unleash civil war in Kashmir.

We MAY have been doing it for years, but publicly endorsing the idea is going to hit India's image in the international arena. As the MoD, he ought to assure people of the competence of our intelligence and security forces to combat the menace of terrorism.

Until now there was a difference between Pakistan and India when it came to the subject of state sponsored terrorism. And he just reduced it to dust.

Using a terrorist to terrorize a terrorist is not terrorism. It is bio-engineered pest control.

You guys are worried about the international image and not our soldiers.

Do you know the impact a statement like this will have within the fidayeen ranks?

He has said what he had to say, now you cannot blame us for what our establishment will do in India. it is an open initiation of war , and pakistan knows that India is no where near when it come to such operations.

Drawing a line between good terrorists and bad terrorists, the irony is strong in this one.

All I have to say is: Could have carried out the operations deemed necessary on the ground, but should have avoided a public endorsement to state sponsored terrorism.

And yes, international image does get priority over the impact of such statements within the fidayeen ranks.

New Delhi: Asserting that terrorists have to be neutralised only through terrorists, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Thursday said India will take "pro-active" steps to prevent a 26/11 type attacks hatched from foreign soil.
"There are certain things that I obviously cannot discuss here. But if there is any country, why only Pakistan, planning something against my country, we will definitely take some pro-active steps," he said at an event in New Delhi.
Speaking candidly, the Minister used the Hindi phrase "kante se kanta nikalna" (removing a thorn with a thorn) and wondered why Indian soldiers should be used to neutralise terrorists. He said the pro-active steps could include pressure tactics.
"We have to neutralise terrorists through terrorists only. Why can't we do it? We should do it. Why does my soldier have to do it?," he said adding that this issue cannot be discussed beyond this.
He was speaking at 'Manthan' conclave organised by news channel Aaj Tak and was replying to a question on what would be government's reaction if a repeat of Mumbai attacks or a Parliament attack takes place.
He said the best response would be to ensure it does not happen.
Meanwhile, he said the army has been given orders to neutralise infiltrators trying to enter India.
"I can only say that anyone trying to infiltrate will be neutralised," he said.
He also aid that a terrorist who comes with a gun cannot be lectured on human rights.
However, the Minister added that instructions have been given to take precaution that there is no "collateral damage" and that no Indian soldiers die.
"Take precaution there is no collateral damage. Don't touch civilians," he said.
Asked what has changed from the previous government's tenure, the minister said, "Porosity on borders is less; intelligence has improved".
Parrikar also said he will stand by the army at any cost if they are right.

Will neutralise terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir with terrorists, says Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar - Firstpost

And you have been blaming us for this pest control for what your boys do in Pak.

Your politicia s and leaders talk too much which is a beacon to get alert for Pakistan, and we prepare for your misadventures.

Instead of being a macho of words, your leaders must learn to shut up , and do it silently rather farting from mouth, but its just laugh out loud.

Please don't get me started now.

Yes, because in your dictionary, preparation means preparing to launch nukes cause you lack the conventional firepower to match the Indian forces anyway and we want to avoid a nuclear holocaust, thank you.

 

[Mutakalim]
