No change of heart in Pak in supporting terror: Gen Vij
Jammu, Oct 11: Chief of Army Staff Gen N C Vij today said there was `no change of heart` in Pakistan vis-a-vis supporting terror in Jammu and Kashmir.
Jammu, Oct 11: Chief of Army Staff Gen N C Vij today said there was "no change of heart" in Pakistan vis-a-vis supporting terror in Jammu and Kashmir.
"Despite all pronouncements and promises made by Pakistan to dismantle its terror support system, there is no change of heart, whatsoever, on its part towards supporting terror in Jammu and Kashmir," he told reporters here.
However, the security situation in the state was looking up with the troops registering success on all fronts, including foiling of infiltration bids, interception and at ground level, Vij said.
Troops have killed 211 terrorists in last month in interior areas of the state and eliminated another 78 terrorists while foiling 28 infiltration bids along the Line of Control, he said.
"Due to this, the Pakistani establishment has literally gone berserk and has told its intelligence agencies, including ISI, to push as many terrorists as possible," he said.
As far as Pakistan is concerned, three factors have a direct bearing on the situation in J&K. They are the terror infrastructure it has created which is in tact, continuous infiltration and its policy of continued support to terror. "Till there is an end to these three factors, the situation here will not be completely normal," he said.
But from the security force's view point, the situation in the state depends on two factors, the level of interception which has increased sharply and the success rate in foiling infiltration bids, the Army Chief said.
