KANGRA (HP): Surgical strike is only one of wide spectrum of options available to the country against terror infrastructure across the Line of Control and the Indian Army will take action as the situation warrants, a top Army commander said here on Wednesday.
Chief of Army’s Northern Command Lt Gen Ranbir Singh also played down the statements made by Major General Asif Ghafoor, spokesperson of Pakistan military’s Inter Services Public Relations, on Saturday warning that Islamabad would launch 10 surgical strikes in response to single such offensive from India.
“It does not really matter as to what statements are being made from which quarter, but it is important for us to retain our capability, to define our capability and to be prepared for any contingency at all times,” the Lt Gen said.
“I wish to assure you that the Indian Army is fully prepared and committed and have the resolve that when required, we will be able to exhibit our capability,” he told reporters while replying to queries on the issue. (AGENCIES)
