Indian Army chief Bikram Singh said his soldiers would not remain quiet if Pakistan violated the ceasefire.
He, however, said he didn’t want to comment on Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf’s Ajmer visit.
“Our soldiers are not sitting idle. We won’t remain quiet if they violate the ceasefire. This keeps on happening at the ground. The battalion commanders are the best people to reply,” Singh replied when asked about the situation at the Line of Control.
However, he said the Indian Army had already conveyed its concern to the Centre on the issue of ceasefire violations, beheading of an Indian soldier and killing of another soldier by Pakistani troops in January.
“At that time, we showed our concern. We have shown our emotions (to the Centre),” said the army chief, who was in New Delhi to attend the War Decorated India Triennial National Convention-cum- Reunion.
