No possibility of a limited war with Pakistan: Indian Army chief

NEW DELHI: Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat has said that there is no possibility of a limited war with Pakistan.

While talking about using a Kashmiri man as a human shield, he termed the move as ‘defensive’ by the Indian army.

“This is a proxy war and proxy war is a dirty war. It is played in a dirty way. The rules of engagements are there when the adversary comes face-to-face and fights with you. It is a dirty war. That is where innovation comes in. You fight a dirty war with innovations,” Rawat told Press Trust of India (PTI).

“People are throwing stones at us, people are throwing petrol bombs at us. If my men ask me what do we do, should I say, just wait and die? I will come with a nice coffin with a national flag and I will send your bodies home with honour. Is it what I am supposed to tell them as chief? I have to maintain the morale of my troops who are operating there,” he said.

“It would have been easier for them if the protesters use weapons instead of stones. In fact, I wish these people, instead of throwing stones at us, were firing weapons at us. Then I would have been happy. Then I could do what I want to do,” Rawat told PTI.

Meanwhile, without naming Pakistan, Indian Defence Minister Arun Jaitley has said that their neighbouring country is a future threat for them, and has been a threat for the past 70 years; however India’s defence preparations are always up to the mark.

While talking about using a Kashmiri man as a human shield, he termed the move as ‘defensive’ by the Indian army.

Despicable, a soldier ties a civilian to the front of his truck for "protection", and gets awarded a medal and his actions defended by the Army Chief.

“It would have been easier for them if the protesters use weapons instead of stones. In fact, I wish these people, instead of throwing stones at us, were firing weapons at us. Then I would have been happy. Then I could do what I want to do,”

He wishes Kashmris would use guns instead of stones which do very little damage? Is this a made up quote because if its real it is very disturbing.

I wonder what he also means by "do what I want to do", sounds very ominous.

.

Actually he got the award for controlling the situation without the use of overt violence(pellets or bullets),,,n hence protecting not only himself n his troops but also the protesters

Yep it's clear he clearly wants to slaughter them and is just waiting to get that chance.

By forcing a civillian and tying him to the front of his truck.

Not only putting the lives of innocent civillians at incredible risk, but also inflaming the unrest even further.

Dont see how that is deserving of a medal, the job of the Army is to put their lives before civillians not the other way around.

A man having no integrity is untruthful & deceiving. Keep the gear ready for opposite.

Seems Usrael is advising India..

 

[Scarface..Lynch]

so finally they accept their claim of surgical strike was "bullshit"

 

[Sayed Hamza Amir Khalil]

Not difficult to understand, saying their is no chance of a limited war with Pakistan is a diplomatic stance by Endia Army Chief, meanwhile using the word proxy, he indirectly conveyed the message that he would use Endian Intelligence to keep Pakistan engaged in dirty proxy war.

 

[Pyara9]

How about he does what he wants to do with Pakistan? We certainly don't throw stones He won't and we all know why..

If the conduct of your Ex-COAS and President ( Mr. Pervez Musharraf ) is the definition of integrity and truthfulness, then well I guess we should take your comment as a compliment.

We are not talking about Exs and COASs here. It was about how credible are the words of a commander in chief who is defending and even rewarding a war crime, inhumane and barbaric act of one of his officers.
