Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat today said an “aggressive strategy” has to be maintained in dealing with ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir and indicated that the force has been responding effectively to such incidents.
He said this responding to a question on the Army’s strategy to deal with repeated ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir.
“They are doing it (violating ceasefire), but we are responding to it, but an aggressive strategy has to be maintained (‘Wo kar rahe hain, hum bhi kar rahe hain, lekin aggressive strategy to rakhni padegi na),” he told reporters, on the sidelines on an event at the South Block.
According to official figure, a total of 820 incidents of ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops were reported in 2017 as against 221 in the year before. PTI
