Army chief General Bipin Rawat on Tuesday asserted that the operations against the militants in Kashmir will continue and that India will not stop raising the issue, news agency PTI reported. On the sidelines of a ceremony at Suratgarh military station, the Army chief said, “Operations in Kashmir are going on continuously and we are seeing an improvement in the situation in the Valley. Such operations will go on.”
With the elimination of 200 militants, the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have achieved the highest number of militants killed since 2010. The Army chief, in what seemed to be an indirect reference to Pakistan, said how the “neighbouring country” deals with the issue of terrorism is their matter, insisting that the Indian side will not back down and continue to raise the matter.
