Former head of Northern Command of Indian army Lieutenant General (R) DS Hoda has said that Pakistan enjoys widespread support in the Kashmir valley.
In an interview with BBC Urdu the retired General spoke of the popularity Pakistan enjoys in the Kashmirvalley saying, “There is a lot of support for Pakistan. The Indian army’s role is to bring the security situation at a level that encourages political activity within the state of Jammu and Kashmir.”
He said Kashmir issue has no military solution and the issue can be only solved through bilateral talks.
“If we say that the Kashmir issue has a martial solution, it will be false. The issue is an internal and multifaceted issue,” he said.
Talking over the issue of “surgical strikes” the retired army General said, “After detailed consultations prior to the strikes we concluded that an all-out war with Pakistan cannot be triggered, and so we decided to execute our plan and take some risk.”
“The Indian Army was ready to deal with any situation in Kashmir. I cannot share the details but a lot of detailed discussions were held at the army headquarters. It wasn’t that we all of a sudden decided to carry out a surgical strike. We had been planning for quite a time.”
