Dalbir Singh Suhag hits out at Pakistan Army

The Army chief also expressed his concern†at the infiltration along the borders with Pakistan in Punjab.

New Delhi: Amid uncertainty over the upcoming Foreign Secretary-level talks, Army chief Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag today squarely blamed the Pakistani Army for having derailed the peace process a “number of times” in the past. His remarks came against the backdrop of reports that Pakistani establishment was not on board with their Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif when it came to talks with India.

“It has done it number of times. I am not saying in this (Pathankot) connection...” he said when asked whether he feels that the Pathankot attack was an attempt by the Pakistani Army and the ISI to disrupt the peace process.

The Army chief also expressed his “concern” at the infiltration along the borders with Pakistan in Punjab but made it clear that the responsibility lies with the BSF which is manning the area.
