NEW DELHI: India should plan offensive and covert operations to target militant leaders and hit the Pakistani Army hard, two former Indian Army chiefs said on Tuesday, reports the Indian media.
Gen (retd) Bikram Singh was of the view that the Indian government should exploit the fault lines in Balochistan and "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir" (Azad Jammu and Kashmir) so that the Pakistan Army is forced to concentrate internally and not externally. “We need to create asymmetric capabilities, which include doing covert operations and targeting militant leaders," he said, adding the adversary should "feel the pain" and be put in an "embarrassing spot".
Speaking at the Agenda Aaj Tak here, former army chief Gen (retd) V P Malik said, "Till now we have been focusing on defensive operation. We now have to look at offensive operation." He was of the view that an all-out war between India and Pakistan or India and China was "unlikely". To have better planning of security needs, military experts should be roped into the government and be made minister of state for defence, Malik suggested.
