Foremr chief military spokesman, Maj Gen (retired) Athar Abbas, too claimed Pakistani troops were not involved in the infiltration and non-state actors from the Pakistani side are “undermining” and “sabotaging” peace.
A massive infiltration bid by terrorists backed by suspected Pakistani forces, the biggest after the 1999 Kargil conflict, was foiled by the Indian Army, which today called off its 15-day operation in Keran sector along the LoC.
“We are now going to launch operations which are intelligence based, which are surveillance based so that we can eliminiate and meet the challenges,” Lt Gen Sanjiv Chachra, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Indian Army's Northern Command, told reporters.
The army said it conducted a concerted search operation in Keran for the last 15 days after foiling a major infiltration attempt by terrorists.
