Army free to hit back:
AK Antony
Kochi, Aug 12: Indian armed
forces can respond "appropriately" if and when the Pakistani military
violates the ceasefire on the Jammu and Kashmir border,
Defence Minister AK Antony said Monday. "The armed forces have the freedom
to respond to the developing situation appropriately," Antony told reporters here. Antony
was here for the launch of India's
first indigenous aircraft carrier Vikrant. Five Indian soldiers were killed
when intruders sneaked into Jammu and
Kashmir and ambushed an army patrol last week.
Defence officials said Pakistan
troops violated the 2003 ceasefire thrice since Sunday, firing at Indian
positions from across the border. Pakistan Rangers fired at a Border Security
Force (BSF) post at Kanachak in Jammu
district, injuring a BSF trooper.
