New Delhi: Army chief Gen. Bipin Rawat on Friday said that if found necessary, the Army could carry out surgical strikes again at terror targets across the LoC in PoK. “We want peace and tranquillity at the borders. There is an offer of peace to the adversary (Pakistan). If that offer is not reciprocated, then this method of execution is adopted,” he said in his first major media interaction since taking charge.
“We have told the adversary to accept peace and in case that offer is not reciprocated this method of operations (surgical strikes) shall continue,” the Army chief said. “Our offer to the adversary is if you reciprocate the offer of peace in the same manner, the need to conduct a surgical strike will not arise,” he added.
He said proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir has started to target India’s secular fabric.
