Facing tensions on both the fronts of Pakistan and China, India suspects that both countries may become a threat to India by collusion. Army Chief M M Narwane said in a press conference on Tuesday that Pakistan and China together form a potent threat to national security and their collusive approach towards India cannot be wished away.

He said that cooperation between China and Pakistan in both military and civilian areas is increasing. This danger on both fronts is such that we have to prepare in advance. However, he also said that the Indian Army is fully prepared to deal with every threat facing the country.

The army chief also targeted Pakistan over cross-border terrorism. He said that Pakistan is constantly promoting terrorism, it has been continuously using terrorism as a tool of state policy. The Indian Army is adopting a policy of zero tolerance on terrorism. We reserve the right to respond to cross border terrorism at a time of our choosing with precision.


The army chief told that the Indian Army is on high alert not only in Eastern Ladakh but across the Northern Border with China.The army has received instructions from the government to remain stationed on the eastern Ladakh front. Negotiations at various levels are expected to yield a solution. At the same time, the ninth round of talks with China is awaited.

He said, “All along the northern borders, we have remained vigilant. Friction points are there in the central and eastern sectors of the LAC where China has developed infrastructure. We keep monitoring it and we keep making changes in our preparedness based on geopolitical events and threats.”

On the ongoing standoff in eastern Ladakh, the army chief said, “Hopefully, we will be able to reach an agreement to withdraw troops and reduce tension.

He said, “Women pilots will be recruited from the course starting in July in the army and within the next one year, women pilots will be seen on the flying front.”
