Indian Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag on Tuesday said that Pakistan is supporting a proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir with the help of terrorists, and this reflects on Islamabad’s desperation.
Speaking to reporters, Suhag said, “Our threats and challenges have been growing because of the activity on the borders. Recent strikes by the terrorists reflect their desperation. It also indicates that the infrastructures, or the camps across the border, remain intact.”
“Pakistan is supporting a proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir despite the number of casualties within their own region. It is the effect of the evolving situation in Afghanistan, and we are monitoring it very carefully,” he added.
The army chief further said that the number of terrorists gunned down by the army and other forces has certainly increased in the last year.
“In 2014, we had a high rate of elimination of terrorists. 104 were killed by the army and another six by other forces. 110 terrorists were neutralized in 2014, as opposed to only 65 in the previous year. Therefore, the effectiveness of the security forces is the main reason for the confidence that people have in them,” he added.
