Pak Army trying to push maximum terrorists into Kashmir: Antony | Defence Minister AK Antony on Wednesday said that the
Pakistan Army and Government is trying to push the maximum number of terrorists or insurgents across the border in a bid to maintain instability in the region.
Antony said: "Even after 26/11 terror attacks, Pakistan is not taking strong actions
against terror camps in their soil. The Pakistan army is not controlling this."
"There are terror camps close to Pakistan Army camps. Pakistan is trying to push
maximum people in Jammu and Kashmir. This is a clear strategy by them," he added
He further said that our armed forces are on guard and I am sure we will be able
to prevent infiltration to a maximum extent. Commenting on the Naxal menace, Antony
said, "The Naxal problem is an internal security problem and the Government wants
to minimise central armed forces involvement in tackling such problems, preferring
to see it as a last resort option. "I have already told you that it is an internal
law and order and security issue. Mainly it is the duty of state governments to
handle it. And I will support the state governments. We want to minimise these
kind of armed forces operations for internal security, he added. "We don't support
armed forces for offensive actions against Naxalites. We can only give logistical
supports and training ," he said. His comments come a day after Jharkhand police
inspector Francis Induwar, who had been abducted on Sep 30, was found killed on
the Ranchi-Jamshedpur highway. Antony was speaking to the media after inaugurating
a new Defence Accounts Department (DAD) buildings complex here. |
