Army chief Rawat warns of another surgical strike if needed

NEW DELHI: Army chief Gen Bipin Rawat said today that surgical strikes on terror launch pads across the LoC could be repeated, if necessary, seeking to send a stern message to Pakistan.

He said cross-border infiltration will continue because camps across the Line of Control, from where terrorists are launched, are still operational, and warned that the Indian Army is ready to “receive” them and keep dispatching them to their graves.

“The strike was a message we wanted to communicate to them and they have understood what we mean…That things could follow up, if required,” Rawat said

He was speaking at the launch of a book ‘India’s Most Fearless’. (AGENCIES)
