Pakistan tacitly supporting ceasefire violations: Antony

Indian Defence Minister AK Antony on Wednesday voiced concern over alleged increasing ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts from across the border, saying they could not take place without the “tacit support” of the Pakistan Army.

“We are watching all these new developments. Instead of preventing infiltration or trying to minimise the infiltration attempts, still there attempts are going on increasing. That means, these are going on with the support of elements across the border. But I am sure nothing has happened without the support and knowledge and tacit support of Pakistan Army. It is a matter of concern to us,” Antony alleged while addressing a press conference.

The Indian defence minister wondered how such attempts could take place without the support or knowledge of the armed forces of Pakistan when the international border was guarded on one side by Indian Army and BSF and Pakistan Army and Rangers on the other.

“Both sides of borders are completely guarded by armed forces. So how can the terrorists try to infiltrate in Indian border without the support or knowledge of armed forces of Pakistan? How can terrorists embolden to increase attempts to infiltrate without the tacit support and sometimes open support of the Pakistani armed forces,” he asked.

Antony claimed India was sincere in improving relations with Pakistan, but questioned how this could happen when infiltration was taking place.

Antony said India’s armed forces were fully prepared to meet any challenge regarding border security.
