New Delhi: There is a
state of "no war, no peace" along the Jammu and Kashmir border, a
senior Indian Army commander said Tuesday.
Stating that his Northern Command had adequate forces on the Line
of Control (LoC), General K.T. Parnaik said the army "has a system
to graduate from this system (no war, no peace) to a higher form
of alert".
The general told TimesNow television that he had ordered his
forces on the winding LoC to "to remain on alert".
"If provoked gravely, we have an appropriate response in mind."
The general spoke hours after the Indian government made it clear
that Pakistan's denials of brutally killing two Indian soldiers
near the LoC Jan 8 would affect bilateral relations.
He said at the lower level of the Pakistani Army, "there seems to
be a sense of arrogance. They want to target our troops anywhere
and everywhere".
He said there "must be frustration" in the Pakistan Army because
infiltration of terrorists into India had not largely succeeded
and the situation in Jammu and Kashmir was also largely peaceful.
At Monday's flag meeting between the Indian and Pakistani
brigadiers, Gen. Parnaik said the Pakistani representative "had
come with a written script".
"The body language was rigid and they were not ready to accept
anything (we said). They are in a denial mode."
