Army Chief threatens retailiatory action against militants, Pak army in avenge

Jaipur: Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said Saturday stern action is needed to avenge the “barbarism” by militants and Pakistan Army against Indian soldiers.
The comment comes after a BSF jawan was shot and his throat slit recently, followed by the brutal killings of three policemen in Jammu and Kashmir.
“We need to take stern action to avenge the kind of barbarism that militants and the Pakistan Army have been carrying against our soldiers. It is time to give it back to them in the same coin but not by resorting to similar kind of barbarism. I think the other side must also feel the same pain,” the Army chief said at a press conference here. He said talks and militancy could not go hand in hand, and Pakistan needed to curb militancy and not allow militants to use their soil against India”.
Rawat insisted that action against Pakistan was needed but not in a barbaric manner. “We have carried out similar actions against them whenever they did something against India on the border. Pakistan has suffered many casualties and we have been able to take on their defence system to a large extent but we never resorted to barbarism,” he said.
