No plans to pull back Indian troops, clarifies Defence Ministry | The Ministry of Defence on Monday rubbished
Pakistan media reports, which said that the 'Indian Government may move troops
to peace time locations'. "The report published in Express Tribune, Islamabad
edition, dated 14 May 2012, that " India may move troops to peace time locations"
is completely incorrect and without any basis. There are no such plans," said
a Defence Ministry release. Media reports earlier said that the Indian Government
is likely to pull back troops from what they call 'wartime positions' to which
the troops were moved at the working boundary with Pakistan after the 2008 Mumbai
terrorist attacks. The decision to withdraw troops is among the first substantial
overture since India and Pakistan resumed peace talks following the terror strike
in 2008 which killed more than 160 people, including foreigners, reports The Express
Tribune.
