Indian navy chief rejects Pakistan's assertion of preventing submarines from entering its waters

[Valar Dohaeris]

Indian Navy chief Admiral Sunil Lanba on Friday rejected Pakistan's assertion that it had tracked down Indian submarines in its waters near Karachi last month, The Indian Express reported.

Registering his view on the event weeks later, Admiral Lanba said "there was no submarine deployed in the area of Pakistani claims".

“As far as repelling of submarine of any nation goes, it is not an easy task. The claim made by Pakistan navy was totally bogus," Lanba said talking at the annual media conference in New Delhi held in celebration of India's Navy Day.

He further said India will continue to deploy submarines as per “operational necessity”.

The Pakistan Navy in November said it had prevented Indian Navy submarines from entering Pakistani territorial waters.

"The Indian Navy, in order to fulfil its nefarious designs, was deploying submarines. The Pakistan Navy, alert and using its extreme skill, prevented Indian submarines from entering Pakistani waters," a statement issued by Pakistan Navy at the time said.

The Pakistan Navy prevented the Indian submarines from being successful in their attempts to keep their presence a secret, the statement said, adding that the navy pursued the submarines and pushed them back.

“The unsuspecting submarine was detected and localised south of Pakistani coast on November 16. Thereafter, despite submarine’s desperate efforts to escape detection, it was continuously tracked by Pakistan Navy units and pushed well clear of our waters.

“This thriving encounter of detecting Indian Navy Submarine at high seas and its continued surveillance not only speaks very high of the navy’s anti submarine warfare capability but also reflects the commitment and resolve to defend the sea frontiers, the statement went on to read.

Well, no issues at all to say as "There was no Sub in that Area" that too after almost 17 days but wait, chief said "will continue to deploy subs as per........ A lot of explanations and script readying procedure by CO and then the save face. The real scene is not made public but yes, the Sub was detected well.

Pakistan Navy doesn't have the capability or power to do that.

Annual Press conference? Is this Indian Navy or a publicly listed company's annual press conference to release it's annual audited financial results?

Take your BS and go spew it some where else.
