  Army chief warns of two-front war with China, Pakistan: Is IAF fighting fit?

But at the same breath he added, army was keeping its option open for “surgical strikes”.

Kashmir has been witnessing violent protests and clashes since the death of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani last year in July.

General Rawat was in Dehradun to attend annual function at Cambrian Hall, his alma mater.

The army chief, who hails from Pauri, studied at Dehradun’s Convent of Jesus and Mary (CJM) till Class 2. Thereafter, he studied at Cambrian Hall between 1969 till 1972 and then did his senior schooling at St. Edward’s School, Shimla.

“I have spent my most memorable days in this school,” he said during the event, dressed in a navy-blue blazer with the school monogram engraved.

He also made special mention of his teacher Shanti Swaroop, who was school coordinator at that time.

Gen touched Swaroop’s feet as a mark of respect and love.

Later talking to reporters, general said the induction of 800 women in the military police, as was planned recently, would be a gradual process as the army “would not get so many women immediately.”

Now, army chief Bipin Rawat says China, Pakistan not a threat to India

Of course he is right.
No threat from China.

India retreated in order to avoid a death-dealing war.

 

[American Pakistani]

Retarded old man symptoms, perhaps.

Buddha sathya gaya, as the saying goes in Urdu.

 

[StraightShooter]

Okay. Let's get rid of the armed forces.

 

[ranadd]

Proven. China loves monies and new multi polar world. Pakistan is a willing casualty for them. Pawn of powers for eternity.

Nahi Janab ; aap ki Band Baja ne ke liye khareede hain

Buddha sathya gaya, as the saying goes in Urdu.

When he talks of Two front War ; China feels offended and
starts complaining

So we have to use such polite diplomatic language

 

[prashantazazel]

It is simple. Keep your nukes pointed at the major cities. Defend the contested areas.
Sadly in India-pakistan case it means some soldiers would have to lose their lives over petty politics.

[Post Colonnial]

right or wrong, why is the general making any public statement? just do your job Mr.Rawat , no need to make press statements.

 

[Mrc]

Koi issay imported whisky nahi data Kiya??

 

[BetterPakistan]

I guess this man is not in good health. If both Pakistan & China are no threat to India than why they are spending $40 bn on their defence annually?? Why don't they use this money to provide toilets to millions in their country?

 

[seesonic]

So this is the kind of flipflopping from a general now then he is under the command of a woman minister?
