300 Militants in Pakistan Ready to Infiltrate India: Army

More than 300 militants are waiting across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan to infiltrate into India, the Indian Army said on Wednesday. It was also expressed that the Pakistan Army played a major role in planning the terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir.Lt Gen Devraj Anbu told the media at the Udhampur headquarters of the Army’s Northern Command: “(A total of) 185-220 terrorists in the south and 190-225 terrorists in the north of Peer Panjal are … ready for infiltration.”

The officer said the Pakistan Army had a direct role in planning terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan.

In a recent terror encounter in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, Security forces in Srinagar was involved in a gunbattle in Srinagar’s Karan Nagar area. The attack has left one soldier dead. After a sentry saw heavily-armed men at Karan Nagar near CRPF Batallion headquarters, he fired at them, forcing them to flee.Then security forces carried out a search operation and tracked down the men to a nearby house under-construction. Two terroists took shelter inside the under-construction building. In the resulting gunfight between the security forces and the terrorists, which continued around 28 hours, a CRPF soldier was killed and a Jammu and Kashmir policeman was also injured. The bodies of the two terrorists were recovered, with arms.

Asked about possible Indian retaliation against the terror attack on the Sunjuwan Army camp in the state, Lt Gen Devraj Anbu said, “Operating along the LoC is quite complex and challenging. I do not feel that we really need to do tit for tat.”

He also expressed: “We plan our strategy and we will continue with this.”

Speaking on ceasefire violations by Pakistan, he claimed 192 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Indian retaliation.”They admitted only six or seven deaths in two incidents, but our sources said that number is big,” he added.
