Indian Army, BSF dominating along LoC, Militants under pressure: Defence Minister

 

NEW DELHI:  Indian Army and Border Security Force (BSF) have been dominating the Line of Control (LoC) over past few weeks, Defence Minster Arun Jaitley said here today.

    Addressing a press conference in connection with the completion of three years of the Narendra Modi Government, Mr Jaitley said sustained efforts of the Indian forces have enabled to “build up a lot of pressure” on both Indian militant groups and the foreign terrorists.

   Asked to comment on the possibility of talks with the Pakistan Government, he said, “Pakistan has successfully prevented an atmosphere of talks by its responses like Pathankot, Uri and mutilation of Indian soldiers’ bodies while India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always tried to create a situation of parleys.” (AGENCIES)
