On a day Pakistan finally
agreed to a flag meeting to
defuse tension along the
volatile LoC, the Indian Army
chief is believed to have told
his top general in the border state that the force reserved
the right to retaliate at a place
and time of its choosing. In a
cross-border morning raid onJanuary 8, a group of Pakistani
soldiers came 500 metres deep
into Indian territory in
Poonchs Mendhar sector, killed
two army men and took away
the head of one of the soldiers as trophy, triggering several
rounds of firing from both
sides. The situation along the
Line of Control remains tense
with reports of exchange of
fire coming in. The brigade-commander level
flag meeting will be held at
Chakan-Da-Bagh in the Poonch
sector of Jammu and Kashmir
on Monday, four days after
India sought such a contact. It is learnt that army chief
General Bikram Singh has told
northern army commander Lt
Gen KT Parnaik that the force
reserved its right to retaliate
against Pakistan. The chief made it clear to his
top commanders that action
had to be taken against any
provocation in a professional
manner, sources said. A top
commander in J&K told HT that General Singh also said that
moral ascendancy be
maintained and the LoC be
guarded effectively by
observation and fire. They killed two of our boys
and we killed two of theirs. But
their act was gruesome, not in
the spirit of the Geneva
Convention. Our army has
gained moral ascendancy over theirs, former army vice-chief
Lt Gen Vijay said. Pakistan agreed to the flag
meeting a day after India's
senior-most military
commander, Air Chief Marshal
NAK Browne, said the country
might have to look at some other options for compliance,
if Pakistan continued to breach
the November 2003 ceasefire.
Reacting to the statement,
Pakistan navy said it was
capable of repelling any border attack.
LoC agression: We reserve right to hit back, says Army - Hindustan Times
This won't die down so easily over the cup of tea.
