Pakistan military in a statement said, ‘The notion of surgical strike linked to alleged terrorists’ bases is an illusion being deliberately generated by India to create false effects’.
akistan today said India’s claim of a “surgical strike” across the Line of Control (LoC) was an illusion, saying that the incident was “cross-border fire”.
“The notion of surgical strike linked to alleged terrorists’ bases is an illusion being deliberately generated by India to create false effects,” the military said in a statement.
This quest by the Indian establishment to create media hype by rebranding cross border fire as surgical strike is fabrication of truth. Pakistan has made it clear that if there is a surgical strike on Pakistani soil, same will be strongly responded,” the statement added.
Reacting strongly to reports on surgical strikes by India on Pakistan soil, the statement said: “There has been no surgical strike by India, instead there had been cross-border fire initiated and conducted by India which is existential phenomenon.”
The statement further added, “As per rules of engagement same was strongly and befittingly responded by Pakistani troops.”
The statement was released shortly after DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh said India had hit suspected militants preparing to infiltrate into Kashmir.
Later, addressing the media, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said, “Indian claims of surgical strikes are a lie. There was an exchange of firing along the LoC which Pakistan Army responded to.”
Pakistan’s military has confirmed that two of its soldiers had been killed in an exchange of fire across the Line of Control.

India on Thursday announced that it conducted surgical strikes on Wednesday night to neutralise terrorists waiting on the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, emphasising that it remained committed to maintaining peace and tranquillity on the border.
Stating this, Director General of Military Operations, Lt Gen Ranbir Singh, said the operation was conducted after specific and credible information about the presence of terrorists at launch pads along the LoC, who were waiting to cross over to carry out attacks in J&K and other parts of the country.
Meanwhile, a statement issued by the Pakistan Army said its troops ‘responded’ to ‘Indian firing’ on the LoC in Bhimber, Hotspring, Kel, and Lipa sectors around 2.30 after midnight. The exchange of fire continued till 8 am. The statement said two of Pakistani soldiers were killed in the action.
It was not clear whether the two sides were referring to the same set of incidents.
General Singh said significant damage was inflicted on terrorists and those supporting them. He said he had spoken to his Pakistan counterpart and hoped the Pakistan army would cooperate with the Indian Army to end terrorism.
Reminding Pakistan that it had not kept its commitment of 2004 of not allowing its soil to be used to launch terror attacks against India, he said India was facing continuing and increasing attacks, including Uri.
DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh addressing the media (MEA video):
Indian security forces, he said, had thwarted 20 infiltration bids. New Delhi also offered consular access to Pakistan to those terrorists apprehended by India, and also to provide fingerprints/DNA samples of those terrorists killed in operations. He said equipment recovered from terrorists included GOS systems with Pakistan markings.
The announcement, at a joint briefing by the Ministries of Defence and External Affairs, was preceded by a meeting of the Cabinet Committee of Security headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It was attended by Union Ministers Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Manohar Parikkar, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, Chief of Army Staff Gen Dalbir Singh, DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh, Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and Home Secretary Rajiv Meherisi.
Soon after the meeting, Modi briefed President Pranab Mukherjee and also spoke to Vice President Hamid Ansari, J&K Governor NN Vohra and former prime minister Manmohan Singh.The operations were carried post midnight and NSA Doval spoke to US National Security Adviser Susan E Rice. A statement issued by her office said Ambassador Rice strongly condemned the Uri attack
Full text of the statement by the DGMO
Ladies and gentlemen, Jai Hind and a very good afternoon to all of you. It has been a matter of serious concern that there has been continuing and increasing infiltration by terrorists across the Line of Control in Jammu & Kashmir.
This is reflected in the terrorist attacks at Poonch and Uri on 11 and 18th of September respectively. Almost 20 infiltration attempts have been foiled by the Indian army successfully during this year. During these terrorist attacks and infiltration attempts we have recovered items including Global Positioning Systems and stores which have had Pakistani markings.
Further, captured terrorists hailing from Pakistan or Pakistan Occupied Kashmir have confessed to their training and arming in Pakistan or territory under the control of Pakistan.
The matter has been taken up at the highest diplomatic levels and the military levels at regular times. India has also offered consular access to the apprehended terrorists to Pakistan to verify their confessions.
Furthermore, we have proposed that finger prints and DNA samples of terrorists who have been killed in Uri and Poonch encounters can also be made available to Pakistan for their investigations.
Despite our persistent urging that Pakistan respect its commitment made in January 2004 not to allow its soil or territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India, there have been no letup in infiltrations or terrorist actions inside our territory.
If the damage has been limited it has been primarily due the efforts of soldiers of Indian army who are deployed in a multi-tier counter infiltration grid and most of the infiltration bids have been foiled at those locations. The Indian armed forces have been extremely vigilant in the face of continuing threat.
Based on very credible and specific information which we received yesterday that some terrorist teams had positioned themselves at launch pads along the Line of Control with an aim to carry out infiltration and terrorist strikes in Jammu & Kashmir and in various other metros in our country, the Indian army conducted surgical strikes last night at these launch pads.
The operations were basically focused to ensure that these terrorists do not succeed in their design of infiltration and carrying out destruction and endangering the lives of citizens of our country.
During these counter terrorist operations, significant casualties have been caused to the terrorists and those who are trying to support them. The operations aimed at neutralizing the terrorists have since ceased. We do not have any plans for continuation of further operations. However the Indian armed forces are fully prepared for any contingency that may arise.
I have just spoken to the Pakistani Director General of Military Operations and explained our concerns and also shared with him the operations we had conducted last night.
It is India’s intention to maintain peace and tranquility in the region, but we can certainly not allow the terrorists to operate across the Line of Control with impunity and attack the citizens of our country.
In line with Pakistan’s commitment made in January 2004 not to allow its soil or territory under its control for any terrorist activities against India, we expect the Pakistani army to cooperate with us with a view to erase this menace of terrorism from our region. Thank you very much.
Six Reasons Why Military Action Against Pakistan Is Not An Option For India
By and by, the Modi government is discovering the harsh truth: India just doesn’t have room for manouevre in its Pakistan policy.
Public demand wants military action against Pakistan for the Uri attack yesterday. Terrorist attacks against Indian security forces in border areas used to be a thing of the ’90s. Lately, they have returned: Pathankot earlier this year and Gurdaspur last year were two more such attacks.
Call it surgical strike or hot pursuit, any military action against Pakistan is a bad idea. It is unlikely to achieve the desired result of preventing future terrorist attacks. On the contrary, it could backfire.
1. Risk of War: India may mean a small strike, but there’s no telling that Pakistan could escalate it. Between two nuclear armed neighbours, with one refusing to declare ‘no first use’, war is not an option.
2. More terrorism: Successful military action might actually increase the risk of terrorism. India helped create Bangladesh in 1971, and in turn, Pakistan took to terrorism aka sub-conventional warfare, in Punjab and Kashmir. Regaining some territory, causing more Pakistani casualties than Indian ones, or any such measure of success is unlikely to make Pakistan give up its use of terrorism.
3. No guarantee of success, risk of failure: The success of military conflict cannot be guaranteed. It might weaken India further and make it more vulnerable, if military action is unsuccessful. After 26/11, then prime minister Manmohan Singh had considered air strikes against Pakistan. But the air force chief had said India didn’t have accurate digital data on terrorist camps in Pakistan, and the army chief had said the Indian Army was not prepared for a brief, surgical strike. Military experts say it would take years for India to develop strategic capabilities for targeted cross-border operations. Politically, military action that is seen as a failure would hurt the Modi government more than not doing anything.
4. Exactly what the Pakistani establishment wants: Countering that the Kargil incursion was not a “misadventure”, General Musharraf maintains that it achieved the goal of internationalizing the Kashmir issue. The terrorists who struck at Uri, and their masters, know very well that such an attack could provoke India into military retaliation. They would be happy if that is the case, as it would help bring greater attention to the Kashmir issue. On 23 August, a Twitter account claiming to belong to the Jamat ud Dawa (Lashkar-e-Taiba) had said the Pakistani army was working to ensure that “Modi can only focus on Kashmir in days ahead, instead of Baluchistan, Sindh, GB, AJK or Karachi.”
5. International pressure: For now, the US and UK have refrained from responding to the Uri attacks by calling for India and Pakistan to hold talks, as they used to. But if India were to pursue military action, it would alarm the world for fear of nuclear war. In such a case, there would be immense global pressure on India to not pursue military action. Any cross-border military action, whether or not you call it war, needs global diplomatic support. Without it, India may face a major international crisis. Pakistan will turn the tables and say that India is the aggressor. India cannot afford to look like an irresponsible state–that’s not the image that India and prime minister Modi have been trying to cultivate.
6. It will hurt the economy. War is always bad for the economy, for both sides. In this case, India has a lot more to lose. The Indian economy is way ahead of Pakistan, so the damage will be greater for India. The uncertainties of war drive away potential investors, cause inflation and shortages. In fact, votaries of strategic restraint argue that success is the best revenge: India’s economic rise is the best answer to a Pakistan whose image is that of a terrorism-sponsoring state.
Pak accuses Modi of ‘well thought-out vilification campaign

Islamabad, September 25
Pakistan on Sunday rejected Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assertion that it was exporting terror, saying the remarks were part of a “well thought-out vilification campaign” to distract attention from Kashmir.
Pakistan Foreign Office, in a statement, said Prime Minister Modi at a public meeting in Kerala “tried to malign Pakistan”.
“It is unfortunate that Indian leadership continues to indulge in a well thought-out vilification campaign against Pakistan by making provocative statements and baseless accusations. Such irresponsible display of behaviour at the highest political level is regrettable,” the Foreign Office said.
“It is evident that, as an act of desperation, India is trying to distract world attention from the atrocities perpetrated” by its forces in Kashmir against “innocent and defenseless” Kashmiris, including children and women, the statement said.
The “atrocities” in Kashmir intensified since the “extra-judicial killing of Kashmiri youth leader” Burhan Muzaffar Wani in July this year, it said of the slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander.
Pakistan’s reaction came after Prime Minister Modi launched a blistering attack on it yesterday in his first public address after last Sunday’s deadly Uri terror attack.
Modi said the sacrifice of 18 soldiers would not go in vain while all-out efforts would be made to isolate Pakistan globally.
“Terrorists should hear out clearly that India will never forget the Uri attack… I want to tell the leadership of Pakistan that the sacrifice of our 18 jawans will not go in vain,” Modi told a public meeting at the Kozhikode beach held on the sidelines of the BJP national council meet.
He said while countries in Asia were working to make the 21st century Asia’s, Pakistan was engaged in a conspiracy of causing bloodshed across the continent by sponsoring terrorism and killing innocents.
The Pakistan Foreign Office statement alleged, “In the last seventy-five days, Indian occupation forces have brutally martyred more than 100 Kashmiris, blinded hundreds and injured thousands.”
The Foreign Office claimed that the international community had taken notice of these “blatant human rights violations” with concerns expressed by several countries as well as UN and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
It also accused India of continuing to sponsor terrorism in Pakistan through state apparatus.
“The arrest and confession statements of a serving Indian Navy officer and intelligence operative, Kulbhushan Jadhav, reveal beyond a shadow of doubt as to how India fuels terrorist activities in various parts of Pakistan, including Balochistan and FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas),” the statement said. — PTI

Afghanistan today came out in strong support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising the Balochistan issue and said it was a “legitimate concern”. In an exclusive interview to The Tribune, Afghanistan’s ambassador to India Shaida Mohammad Abdali said, “Modi has rightfully raised his voice on the basis of human rights violations in Balochistan.”(Follow The Tribune on Facebook; and Twitter @thetribunechd)He said the people of Balochistan were suffering in a manner similar to Afghan people. “I think this is the right and moral obligation of everyone in this region to speak for those who are being oppressed,” Abdali said. The Afghan stand on Balochistan should come as great support for India as it begins its global strategy of isolating Pakistan.Abdali said Afghanistan sympathises “with those who are suffering, whether they are in our neighbourhood or beyond; and it is not the issue of just Balochs, it’s the issue of Pashtuns and that of the entire neighbourhood suffering from the menace of terrorism”.On the option of using surgical strikes against Pakistan, Abdali was clear that the first preference has to be the political and diplomatic route, “but that should also not mean that we should not resort to activities that will bring about a change in the attitude of those who have been perpetrating against peaceful nations in violent ways and means”. For Afghanistan, this indicates a shift in its strategy as it comes onboard for considering surgical strikes against a neighbour where diplomacy and dialogue fail.While the Afghan envoy said the terrorist act in Uri was “unacceptable”, he also added that “we are happy that we see strong statements, but these statements must translate into practical action”. He called for re-visiting the counter-terrorism mechanism in the region since the present one didn’t seem to be working.Abdali repeatedly pointed to a “spoiler” in the region who has made progress in SAARC and its related activities impossible. The reference is of course to Pakistan and Abdali bluntly said, “We should not allow any ‘spoiler’ in this region to spoil our unified struggle for a better future.”When asked about the functioning of SAARC, he said it has become a dysfunctional organisation as “the spoiler in the mechanism has failed the entire mechanism”. Maybe it was time to ask whether SAARC should remain as a body for the region or change, he added.When asked if India was ready to give Afghanistan the military equipment it was seeking, the envoy said “absolutely”, and pointed to the relationship that India and Afghanistan share.
THIS A SERIOUS MOMENT IN INDIA-PAK TIES. EVERY STEP – AND MODE OF SIGNALLING – WILL HAVE A BEARING ON WHETHER THE SITUATION ESCALATES OR DEFUSES
NEW DELHI: India is seething about Sunday’s attack at Uri where 18 soldiers lost their lives. The Narendra Modi government is contemplating its strategy. There is a measure of febrile anticipation about what a BJP-led regime in Delhi will do. The Prime Minister and BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said the attack will not go unpunished — the latter even added that “restraint in the face of repeated terror attacks betrays inefficiency and incompetence”.
VIRENDRA SINGH/HTDefence minister Manohar Parrikar arrives to attend a meeting in the wake of Uri terror attack, in New Delhi on Monday.
This a serious moment in India-Pakistan ties. Every step — and mode of signalling — will have a bearing on whether the situation escalates or defuses. There are five things that the government can do in a crisis situation like this. First, avoid the crowd. Frenzied reactions on social media that call for a hardline response that matches the establishment’s instincts can be heady and gratifying but they can also be misleading and often not in the country’s interest. A descent into instability is not what India needs, not least its economy.
Two, understand the strategic consensus that there are no easy military options. Measures like a surgical airstrikes on militant camps, covert action and lining up troops on the border are either difficult to execute or run the risk of escalating conflict, not a sight that the international community or financial markets will respond encouragingly to. It’s worth noting that even conservative Indian hawks who push for immediate reprisals are not very forthcoming about specifics.
India is better off, three, focusing its energies elsewhere. It will need to unravel the forces responsible for the attack and continue efforts to rally international opinion against Pakistan. The diplomatic and institutional battle to project Pakistanbased terrorists as threats to global security is an ongoing process and Delhi will need a set of deliverables that the international community can work towards in order to exert more pressure on Islamabad. These will be more effective in the long-term than merely condemnatory statements at international fora.
There is, four, no getting away from the fact the Uri was a serious security lapse. How a camp so close to the Line of Control was so vulnerable must be examined and questions asked about steps taken at military installations after the attack at Pathankot. There is, not least, the crisis in Kashmir to attend to which is the context in which Uri happened.
The Centre needs a strategy that protects security forces from militants and it needs a political strategy that addresses the ongoing unrest. There is an inordinate emphasis nowadays on the need to be aggressive in our response to challenges. In the process of being muscular, India must not lose sight of its equities and squander its strengths.
WASHINGTON/LONDON: The US and Britain on Sunday strongly condemned the terrorist strike that killed 17 Indian soldiers at Uri in Kashmir and said they would work with India to fight terror.
The official reactions from both countries did not name Pakistan or Jaish-e-Mohammed, which has been blamed by India for the attack. American experts agreed with the Indian assessment of the origin of the attack, if not the reasons for it. The US statement issued by state department spokesman John Kirby said: “The US strongly condemns the terrorist attack on an Indian army base in Kashmir… We extend our condolences to the victims and their families. The US is committed to our strong partnership with the Indian government to combat terrorism.”
British foreign secretary Boris Johnson said in a statement that the UK “strongly condemns” the terrorist attack. “I offer my deepest condolences to the victims and their families and friends. The UK condemns all forms of terrorism, and stands shoulder to shoulder with India in the fight against terrorism, and in bringing the perpetrators to justice,” he added.
The phrase “strong partnership” in the US statement was a reiteration of secretary of state John Kerry remarks at a recent news briefing in New Delhi, where he had said, echoing India, that the US “cannot and will not make distinction between good and bad terrorism”.
The reference was to Pakistan making a distinction between good terrorists — those it uses as an instrument of its state policy such as the Haqqani Network in Afghanistan and Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed against India — and bad terrorists, such as the Pakistani Taliban responsible for many attacks on Pakistani soil.
Though the state department did not name Pakistan, it was clear to experts who was behind the attacks. Bruce Riedel, a former CIA operative and expert on the region, said it was the work of the Pakistan Army. “It has been clear for several months that the Pakistan Army believes the situation in Kashmir is ripe for a re-intensification of the conflict and that India has few credible options to respond.”
Army’s task in Kashmir: Restoring order :::::::::Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain (retd)
A responsibility in counter-insurgency situations is never considered complete until the political legitimacy and authority is fully established.
WATCH AND WARD: An Army soldier stands guard outside the Civil Secretariat in Srinagar. File photo
Two months after the killing of Burhan Wani on July 8, the Army has returned in strength to South Kashmir, the core centre of the recent street turbulence, and has been tasked to restore the situation. What needs to be understood here is that the Army is not restoring law and order but a virtual public order situation which has seen complete paralysis and inability of the police forces to handle. This is the classic situation in which the Army steps in to execute its responsibilities in the realm of operations other than war, hybrid in nature.What the Army will be dealing with is an intractable segment of population with a diffused and invisible leadership, backed by financial, ideological, psychological and planning support from across the LoC. It’s a situation akin to 1989-90, made worse by emotions. However, the presence of the Rashtriya Rifles (RR) today is a force multiplier and enabler unavailable then. Yet, there is a population, perhaps not as large as contemplated by the Chief Minister, which is pining for peace and is held hostage by the lumpen youth. It is this population whose conscience and courage has to be given a boost by the Army’s unconventional operations.The Army’s forced vacation and reduction of strength over the past few years was due to the intense pressure that the local politicians imposed on the Government of India. A task in counter-insurgency/terror situations is never considered complete until the political legitimacy and authority is fully established. The clamour for withdrawal of the Army under the rabble rousing of the Deep State and separatists, on grounds of the presence of a trumped up figure of 7 lakh security personnel, led to incorrect decisions. Hopefully the lessons have been learnt.The Army is currently tasked for restoration of the situation in South Kashmir but is deployed in good measure in North Kashmir too where its task towards restoration should also be mandated, lest there be doubts. It works on a principle of concepts which are based on the task, giving its commanders the required flexibility to function as per local conditions. The first point in the concept should clearly be the need for preventing any further alienation with all segments of society. That sets the tone for the degree of robustness in operations. It’s not a carte blanche for use of armed force and no one understands this better than the Army itself.The fact that there are no black and white situations here is an element for use of manoeuvre philosophy, something a modern army should invariably be executing, especially in irregular conflict situations. It is not flag marches but the show of force through domination of both physical and moral kind. The moral domination of the Army has always been its chief weapon and its commanders at all levels have been immensely proud of that fact; it sets them apart and creates an aura which must never be lost. In all other parts of the country the arrival of the Army to handle law and order is accompanied by a silent sigh of relief. People trust it to do the right thing, the fair thing, and its officers always have that capability to reach out to the people. It is a delight sometimes to see a young Army officer presiding over a meeting of elderly citizens, giving them all the respect due. So there is no reason why the Army won’t achieve the same thing in a public order distressed situation. In the domain of physical domination the move into the areas of South Kashmir is to occupy the physical space and reduce the burden of size of individual responsibility of sub-units of the RR and the CRPF. Simultaneously, if it is true that there has been a marginal surge in infiltration, the CI/CT operations must be conducted energetically and intelligently. These must be intelligence based and surgical. For that the assistance of the JK Police is mandatory. The intelligence grid has taken a beating but not to the extent it cannot be revived.Conceptually, the most important task for the Army is not to go on an offensive mode; that’s the most ham-handed way of doing things. The need is to bolster the morale and capability of the JK Police, which remains as good a force as ever. It only needs a boost and a bit of correction in terms of personnel drawn from the same area serving locally. The JK Police must be able to hold its police stations and ensure that all weapons, records and legal documents are immediately secured. A similar thing in restoration of order is to ensure that government employees can return to work unimpeded and the secretariats everywhere must get to function. These places must be secured with the help of the CRPF. No one really knows how much digitisation has been completed in land records as it only began less than a year ago; the state government can ill afford to have tehsil and district offices as the next targets to create mayhem in land records, which will add to the turbulence.I would be naïve if I did not appreciate that this time the degree of antipathy and alienation among the rural folk is manifold higher. The Army cannot expect a cakewalk in engagement through conventional methods but it also knows the pulse of the population and its basic needs. A combination of material and psychological engagement will help. I am aware that the inducted formations and units have trained themselves in their force ethos, an essential pre-requisite. You cannot have a bunch of non-professionals in the field with their understanding limited to inputs from social media.The Army can do nothing on its own. It has to be a whole of government approach as anywhere in hybrid operations. It can and will lead by its professional and cooperative approach. The diffused leadership will need to be identified, engaged or weeded out. It must be replaced with the presence of elected political leaders whose movement and engagement with the people must be jointly facilitated by all security forces. The writ of the state has to return.Lastly, the Army’s RR formations and units remain the mainstay. Their resilience and knowledge of the physical and cultural terrain is the plus which should not be lost sight of. All operations of any variety must be under the control of the RR commanders with no ego and such like notions becoming obstacles. It will need immense energy and understanding, something Army personnel are known for. We should expect no miracles. Healing processes are slow but remaining loyal to the concept of operations is the winning factor.The writer, a former GOC of the Srinagar-based Chinar Corps, is now associated with the Vivekananda International Foundation and Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies.
