Need to make Pakistan feel the pain: Army Chief

Jaipur, September 22

Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said on Saturday that stern action is needed to avenge the barbarism by terrorists and Pakistan Army against Indian soldiers.

The comment comes after a BSF jawan was shot and his throat slit recently, followed by the brutal killings of three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir. “We need to take stern action to avenge the kind of barbarism that terrorists and the Pakistan Army have been carrying out against our soldiers. It is time to give it back to them in the same coin but not by resorting to similar kind of barbarism. I think the other side must also feel the same pain,” the Army Chief said at a press conference here. 

He said talks and terrorism could not go hand in hand, and Pakistan needed to curb the menace of terrorism and not allow terrorists to use their soil against India.

The Pakistan Army said it was “ready for war”, but chose peace in the interest of its people. — PTI/TNS
