Indian Army is giving befitting reply to Pak troops violating ceasefire: Manohar Parrikar
Following the killing of an Army jawan by Pakistani troops in Rajouri district on 16 October, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said that the Indian Army was giving a befitting reply to such ceasefire violations.
"Ceasefire violations have taken place in hundreds for the last five-six years...Check out the figures. The only difference is that if they do it now, we give a befitting reply," he said on 17 October.
"I wonder that a Prime Minister from land of Mahatma Gandhi and a defence minister from Goa and surgical strikes, the situation was quite... maybe the RSS teachings was there, but this was very different kind of combination", Parrikar was quoted to have said in an Indian Express report.
An Indian Army jawan was killed on 16 October as Pakistani troops violated ceasefire twice along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district.
Parrikar had earlier equated the Indian Army to 'Hanuman' and made a reference to the Ramayana in which the monkey God crossed an ocean in a single stride after he was reminded about his extraordinary powers by Jamwant.
