300 militants in Pakistan ready to enter India: Army


Jammu, Feb 14 (IANS): More than 300 militants are waiting across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan to infiltrate into India, the Army said on Wednesday, adding that the Pakistan Army played a key role in planning terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.

Lt Gen Devraj Anbu told the media at the Udhampur headquarters of the Army's Northern Command: "(A total of) 185-220 terrorists in the south and 190-225 terrorists in the north of Peer Panjal are ... ready for infiltration."

The officer said the Pakistan Army had a direct role in planning terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan.

Asked about possible Indian retaliation against the terror attack on the Sunjuwan Army camp in the state, he said, "Operating along the LoC is quite complex and challenging. I do not feel that we really need to do tit for tat."

He added: "We plan our strategy and we will continue with this."

Speaking on ceasefire violations by Pakistan, he said 192 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Indian retaliation.

"They admitted only six or seven deaths in two incidents, but our sources said that number is big," he said.

    Govt should take permanent steps to seal the border full proof. Even though one time expenditure is big it is worth doing.
    We have seen loosing lives on a daily basis because of infiltration. They have gone to the extent of reaching our army camps. Lot of money is also spent for these operations. So better permanently seal it off. Border gates should be properly monitored and controlled if needs to be opened.

    When we see the family of martyred armymen/ paramilitary and police it is heartbreaking. Permanent steps is urgently needed. We cannot leave it like that and boost only in talk.
