Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, in a strict tone, asserted that India is not a weak nation and will not allow its territory to be invaded. Addressing concerns over the incursion of Chinese troops into Indian mainland, the COAS said, “China is a powerful country but we are not a weak nation.”
Amid increasing efforts from Beijing to create an influence in the region, the COAS said that neighbouring countries cannot be allowed to drift away towards China. The four-star General expressed that the time has come for India to shift its focus to the northern border and added that the forces are capable of handling increasing Chinese advances in the region.
Accepting that the Chinese government is exerting pressure, General Rawat said that if a situation arises the troops are ready. “If things escalated, we are prepared to handle the situation. We are continuously manning the border. Yes, we should try that it is not escalated, we will not allow our territory to be intruded. Troops are earmarked, should a situation arise we are ready to cater,” General Rawat said.
Rawat emphasised that India needs to have capacities to ensure that ammunition can move from one sector to another quickly and assured that government is focussed on it. “We also need to build capacity to move forces from western sector to northern sectors,” he added.
In a positive news for Army personnel posted in Sikkim and along the north-eastern border, the government has sanctioned the much-awaited demands of stylised bullet-proof helmets. General Rawat said, “It is not because we saw a threat, Chinese troops were very well equipped so we felt why not send better quality equipment for our own jawans – better jackets and helmets. It shows that we are better prepared.”
Reacting on concerns over the use of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) weapons the Army chief said, “The threat of the use of CBRN weapons is indeed becoming a reality, particularly as a threat from non-state actors. Use of CBRN weapons could jeopardize life and property and take a long time to recover.”
