Pakistan can’t spare ships for Chinese navy’s birthday, India sends stealth destroyer

The Pakistani navy is unlikely to send warships to take part in China’s high-profile maritime parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) to be held off China’s east coast later this month.

At least two Pakistani ships were expected to attend the review to be inspected by President Xi Jinping in the coastal city of Qingdao on April 23.

The withdrawal of the Pakistani ships hasn’t been announced officially but the reason behind it could be the current heavy deployment of the Indian navy in the Arabian Sea.

Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was quoted on Sunday telling reporters in Multan that India was planning to attack Pakistan later this month.

In the aftermath of the deadly Pulwama terror attack, the Indian navy had said in a statement on March 18 that it was deploying an aircraft carrier, nuclear-powered attack submarines and several warships in the region.

It could be that Islamabad was unable to spare warships at this time as it would mean withdrawing them for weeks from patrolling Pakistan’s maritime border; the reason for not sending warships for “iron brother” China’s prestigious naval drill has to be serious.

Senior military officials from Pakistan are expected to attend events related to the anniversary in Qingdao.

The Pakistani embassy’s press office in Beijing didn’t respond to phone calls and messages on the topic.

India, meanwhile, has dispatched one of its frontline warships, INS Kolkata, an indigenously built stealth destroyer, to take part in the fleet review.

Accompanying INS Kolkata will be one of the Indian Navy’s largest ships, fleet tanker, INS Shakti.

Around 500 Indian navy personnel will be on the two ships.

“Up till now, over 60 countries have confirmed to send navy delegations to participate in the activities and multiple countries have confirmed to send naval vessels to the international fleet review,” defence ministry spokesperson, Colonel Wu Qian said last month.

For India, sending warships to PLAN’s prestige event is part of the post-Wuhan reset of Sino-India ties following the cold snap in the aftermath of the Doklam (Donglang) standoff.

Military engagement between the armed forces is expected to expand.

This will be the first time Indian warships are coming to China since April 2014 when the PLAN marked its 65thanniversary with events in Qingdao.

The deployment of INS Kolkata at the event is a message of both cooperation and competition, Ben Ho, a naval analyst with the Military Studies Programme at Singapore’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies told HT.

“The deployment of the INS Kolkata and INS Shakti to the PLAN’s 70th-anniversary celebration may seem like a case of cooperative naval diplomacy at first glance, but there is a competitive element to it as well. Fleet reviews like the one that will take place later this month are essential “bodybuilding” shows for navies. The force with the best “muscles” will garner the most attention,” Ho said.

He added that INS Kolkata is a stealth destroyer with state-of-the-art capabilities like the supersonic BrahMos surface-to-surface missile, and its deployment to the fleet review is arguably an exercise in strategic messaging.

Ho said though Shakti is not a warship but a tanker, and platforms like it are not as “glamorous as their heavily armed brethren”, they are a key force multiplier in naval operations given that they enable deployments that are longer in duration and/or distance.

“The Kolkata-Shakti combination is noteworthy. Through it, Delhi arguably wants Beijing to take note of its independent blue-water capabilities in far-flung regions, including perhaps the South China Sea. After all, Beijing has looked askance at previous Indian naval deployments to that contested body of water which it regards as its own “backyard”,” he added.

Last week, the Japan Times reported that the US will not send warships or senior military officers to attend the event.

The report added that Washington’s decision could be seen as a snub though its allies Japan and South Korea are expected to deploy ships.

Civilian injured in heavy firing on LoC in Poonch district

The firing exchanges were still continuing, the spokesman added.

Jammu, April 1

A civilian was injured on Monday as heavy firing exchanges took place between Indian and Pakistani troopers on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, police said.

The civilian, identified as Muhammad Sharief, was injured by a mortar splinter and has been shifted to hospital for treatment, the police said.

Authorities have also closed all educational institutes close to the LoC following the ceasefire violation by the Pakistan Army at the Shahpur and Kerni sectors that began at 7.45 am.

According to Defence Ministry spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Devender Anand, the Pakistani troops resorted to mortar shelling and firing of small arms.

The Indian troops retaliated effectively in the firing which is continuing intermittently. IANS

Civil-military relations under strain by Air Marshal Brijesh Jayal (retd)

April 28, 2019 webadmin Leave a comment

This is perhaps the first General Election in which the armed forces have truly been sucked into the electoral rhetoric. It’s a new low for our democracy. The new government must recognise that it inherits the challenge of a fraying civil-military relationship, one that has destroyed many fledgling democracies. It is up to the polity to take the initiative to restore the balance.

Civil-military relations under strain

Weak linK: We have been lax in introducing much-needed reforms in every facet of our national security landscape.

Air Marshal Brijesh Jayal (retd)
Former Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, South Western Air Command

RECENTLY, over 150 veterans, including eight former chiefs of the services, made an appeal to the President in his capacity as the Supreme Commander, expressing concern over the politicisation of the otherwise apolitical armed forces and seeking his intervention. Their apprehension was based on quoted instances of military operations and symbols being exploited during electioneering. Though no political dispensation was named, a reference to the ruling party was evident.

Not long after, one was privy to a news conference held at the headquarters of the principal opposition party where a retired Army Commander, under whose charge the ‘surgical strikes’ were executed in 2016, gave a briefing on the national security report that he had presented to the party president. The irony of the retired General professing to be apolitical in response to a reporter’s question, however, would not have been lost on those sensing a threat to our apolitical armed forces.

Whatever inferences one may draw from these instances, one thing is clear to an impartial observer. This is perhaps the first General Election in which the armed forces have truly been sucked into the electoral rhetoric. This is a new low for our democracy, especially when the reality of civil-military relations is that our polity sings praises of the armed forces when it suits them and takes them for granted when in the saddle. That we have been lax in introducing much-needed reforms in every facet of our national security landscape, in spite of many task force and committee recommendations, speaks volumes of our political intent.But electoral politics aside, this is perhaps a good opportunity for all those concerned about the important issue of civil-military relations in our democracy to look beyond party manifestos and promises to delve deeper into this complex field.

In Army and the Nation: The Military and Indian Democracy since Independence (2015), Prof Steven I Wilkinson, a political scientist at Yale University, draws on uniquely comprehensive data to explore the reasons why India, unlike other countries that inherited colonial ‘divide and rule’ armies, has been able to consolidate its democracy and make its army safe for democracy, unlike its neighbour Pakistan, which emerged from the same colonial Indian institutions.Reviewing the book in Foreign Affairs (September-October 2015), Andrew Nathan writes, “The protection of Indian democracy from military intervention looks on the surface like an unlikely achievement, given the weak institutions of civilian control that India inherited from the British Raj. Reaching back to the early years of Independence, however, Wilkinson shows that India’s new leaders took measures to prevent coups, such as institutionalising internal divisions within the army’s leadership, placing top officers under surveillance, assigning domestic intelligence to a civilian agency, and creating civilian-controlled paramilitary forces to handle internal security and counter-insurgency.”

Wilkinson’s research shows that Indian democracy and polity can claim credit for successfully steering civil-military relations to where India stands today. The question that recent happenings and debates pose is: what does the future hold and can we as a democracy remain sanguine?

According to Wilkinson, “the greatest challenge to civil-military relations is now not over the traditional concerns of higher command structures and ethnic hedging, but rather from the difficulties that the army faces in trying to remain a society apart. Party pressures, corruption and increasing political and societal efforts to interfere in its workings threaten its ability to retain its traditional recruiting structures and hierarchies and lead to strains on what has been up to now one of India’s major successes, the clear divide between the military and politics.”

These strains seem to be rearing their head, if recent events are any indicator. Looking at the external and internal security challenges facing the country that are becoming more demanding by the day and the political discourse that is getting more divisive, one shudders to look at the future with optimism. Clearly, one victim appears to be our civil-military relations and it is up to the polity to take the initiative to set right the balance before these ties begin to sour.

As India conducts another General Election, demonstrating to the international community its credentials as the largest democracy in the world, and as a new government chosen by the people takes charge, there is serious work to be done on the civil-military relationship front. The new government must recognise that it inherits the challenge of a fraying relationship, one that has, as Wilkinson’s work shows, destroyed many fledgling democracies. Equally, military commanders aspiring to choose politics as a career after their colour service must recognise that they owe it to this cause and the men and women they commanded to ensure a healthy cooling-off period, a self-imposed break of some years, before they jump into the rough and tumble of electoral politics.

Army looks to retrieve funds from IL&FS

April 28, 2019 webadmin Leave a comment

Tribune News Service
New Delhi, April 27

The Army looks to retrieve its ‘sacred funds’, meant for pension of widows and retired soldiers, which the Army Group Insurance Fund (AGIF) had invested in Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) — a company that has gone from a top-rated fiscal institution to one that is now under a serious financial crisis.

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), which is hearing petitions with respect to the IL&FS resolution, has been apprised of the AGIF funds. The Army authorities said, “It is a ‘sacred fund’ meant for making payments to soldiers and widows” and the NCLAT has been requested to accord highest priority for this.

Investment in IL&FS was “made on a sound financial logic” by the AGIF and these were done when the company enjoyed ‘AAA’ rating. The company collapsed gradually over the past 12 months. “The AGIF is in a fine state to meet all existing obligations,” Army sources said.

There is a signal from the NCLAT to ensure that investments by pension and PF trusts is not lost in any resolution plan for IL&FS and these get priority even when the repayment starts. Under the resolution plan, the government has categorised IL&FS group companies into various categories based on their financial positions.

More than 50 retirement funds covering over 15 lakh employees have exposure to IL&FS. The PF trusts of state electricity boards, public sector undertakings and banks are among them.

Cong alleges Modi, BJP leaders using armed forces to garner votes, cites veterans’ letter

Cong alleges Modi, BJP leaders using armed forces to garner votes, cites veteransâ letter

New Delhi, April 12

The Congress on Friday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders of using the armed forces for garnering votes while expressing solidarity with the military veterans who have written to President Ram Nath Kovind over what they called “use of military for political purposes”.

The party also urged the President to take action against Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and other BJP leaders for the alleged use of the military to seek votes.

Over 150 military veterans have written to the President seeking his intervention in preserving the apolitical character of the services. The letter, dated April 11, carries the names of eight former service chiefs, but two of them—former Army Chief General (retd) S F Rodrigues and Air Chief Marshal (retd) N C Suri—said they have not signed it.

Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturverdi, at a press conference, alleged that both Prime Minister Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, in their public addresses in the last few days, have actively referred to the Pulwama terror attack in which 40 CRPF personnel lost their lives.

“The statements come as both the leaders attempt to make the attack a part of their political narrative in the run-up to the 2019 polls,” Chaturvedi said, referring to Modi’s April 9 election rally in Maharashtra’s Latur, in which he urged first-time voters to dedicate their vote to the soldiers who conducted the Balakot anti-terror air strikes and to those who lost their lives in Pulwama.

“We have also witnessed how PM Modi made an election speech with photographs of 40 Pulwama martyrs in the backdrop,” she said.

Chaturvedi also cited instances of Adityanath and Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi making references to ‘Modi ki Sena’.

“Earlier, BJP MP and national executive member Sakshi Maharaj was shamefully smiling, waving and holding a road show standing next to body of Pulwama martyr in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, and the nation witnessed the despicable act of self-promotion by (Union) Tourism Minister Alphons Kannanthanam who clicked a selfie with a Pulwama jawan’s body in Wayanad,” Chaturvedi alleged.

“We express solidarity with the 156 veterans who have pointed out that the blood and sacrifice of our Armed Forces should not be used as a political pamphlet to seek votes. We would demand Rashtrapatiji—the Supreme Commander of our armed forces—to ensure action against PM Modi, UP CM and several other BJP leaders,” she said.

Earlier, the Congress, in a tweet, alleged that the Prime Minister “may try to use soldiers for votes, but it’s clear that soldiers stand with India and not the BJP.”

Referring to the letter, Chaturvedi said that the veterans had expressed displeasure over repeated instances of political parties using armed forces for political gains ahead of the elections.

The Army veterans have urged the President to take “necessary steps to urgently direct all political parties that they must forthwith desist from using the military, military uniforms or symbols, and any actions by military formations or personnel, for political purposes to further their political agendas,” Chaturvedi said.

SC order on Rafale: Defence, Law Ministers must quit, says Chidambaram

SC order on Rafale a huge rebuff’

Former Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram on Thursday demanded the resignation of Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad after the Supreme Court rejected the government plea on ‘stolen documents.’

“The order of the Supreme Court in the Rafale Review Petition case is a huge rebuff to the central government which raised the specious plea of ‘stolen documents’,” he wrote on Twitter. “We demand the resignation of the Defence and Law Ministers who authorised the plea of stolen documents.”

At an official briefing, the Congress said a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) investigation would be ordered into the deal if the party came to power.

Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the government tried to mislead the court by withholding three sets of documents that pertained to the former Defence Secretary asking the Prime Minister’s Office not to have parallel negotiations, the dissent notes of the Indian negotiation team and a note detailing the role of National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.

“A JPC probe is the only way to find the wrongdoers. After May 23, when the Congress will return to power, we will order it,” he said.

Surgical Strike Hero Lt Gen Hooda Who Prepared Congress’ Security Doctrine Denies Recommending AFSPA Abolition

Surgical Strike Hero Lt Gen Hooda Who Prepared Congressâ Security Doctrine Denies Recommending AFSPA Abolition

Lieutenant General Deependra Singh Hooda who was the Northern Army Commander during the famed 2016 Surgical Strikes, has denied recommending the abolition of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in the security doctrine he created for the Congress party.

In an interview given to NDTV’s Vishnu Som, General Hooda who oversaw the surgical strike said that the doctrine encompasses a wide range of issues like India’s internal, external security and its standing in the world affairs.

He added that there is no mention of AFSPA in his doctrine hence no question arises about recommending its abolition. As per General Hooda, first India needs to clearly lay out its political objectives in Kashmir based on which a military strategy can be drawn.

He has also denied claims that he would be joining the Congress.

The Congress party has received flack for promising to review AFSPA in areas like Kashmir. Rahul Gandhi’s party has also promised to review the deployment of forces in the Kashmir Valley.

Lessons from the Banihal near miss by Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain (retd)

Lessons from the Banihal near miss

WORRYING: A new generation of young Kashmiris has been radicalised to associate itself with trans-national radical trends.

Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain (retd)
former GOC, 15 Corps, Kashmir

THE attempt to blow up another CRPF bus through a car-borne suicide bomber comes much earlier than estimated. It has been my steadfast belief that the era of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and car bombs would return with a vengeance to Kashmir, their effect having been witnessed in internal hybrid conflicts of Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. As the usage got more vicious and there were no qualms about the choice of targets, this unethical tool of organised violence found more and more takers, leading to its comeback in Kashmir.The latest attempt was almost a repeat of the Pulwama attack on February 14, except for the location, which was just south of the Pir Panjal range at Banihal. Owais Amin, a 20-year-old Kashmiri from Shopian, has been arrested for the attempt which went awry when he tried to ram the car fitted with IEDs (improvised explosive devices) into the CRPF bus. At least one IED or a gas-filled cylinder caught fire and probably did not explode, but reduced the car to ashes. Amin escaped in the melee, but was apprehended later by the J&K Police while attempting to sneak back into the Valley.

Those who have been involved in searches for IEDs in J&K in the 1990s and the early 2000s would vouch for the complexities in their fabrication in local houses and subsequent deployment on roads and country lanes. These are not simple demolition sets which people may imagine; these involve more than just the explosive, detonator, fuse wire and switch. Upgrade that to the level of a car bomb and a suicide bomber and it becomes even more dangerous to handle before it detonates. The work involving fabrication of such a car bomb is usually delegated to what are called ‘IED doctors’; one of them involved in the Pulwama incident was later cornered and killed by the Army within 100 hours of the occurrence. There are probably a couple of such ‘doctors’ in the Valley, trained by the Pakistani deep state. The spectre of radicalisation is helping in finding recruits such as Owais Amin and Adil Ahmad Dar (Pulwama bomber). It appears that the effects of what Pakistan planned over many years as part of the Zia doctrine are now beginning to have greater impact. A new generation of young Kashmiris has been radicalised sufficiently to associate itself with trans-national radical trends, something we earlier perceived as unlikely. Ironically, as the international trends are waning, a surge is appearing in Kashmir.The near miss by Owais Amin has not been owned up by any terror group so far and will unlikely find ownership due to the botched attempt or simply due to a chiding the deep state may have given the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) for putting it in a spot. Can we therefore expect a repeat of such attempts in the coming days? The assumption should surely point towards greater possibility. A couple of reasons for this can be identified. First, the General Election in India diverts the attention of intelligence agencies at all levels. Second, the resultant impact at such a time creates more confusion in response and far more antipathy among the public, which is getting more restive by the day. Third, the Pakistani leadership appears fairly gung-ho about the impact of the Pulwama attack and perceives that it weathered the storm of India’s response. Internationally, while there has been a furore, Pakistan probably perceives that it has escaped international opprobrium. Ayesha Siddiqa, noted Pakistani author and commentator, writes: “The understanding in Pakistan is that the post-Pulwama situation has actually worked to its advantage — or is a stalemate. The situation today is comparable to the Rann of Kutch operation in 1965, or the 1965 war. As far as the diplomatic war is concerned, that will be long and protracted.” It is this perceived advantage that spells the dangers of more threats in Kashmir, and not from car bombs alone. Innovative ways of beating the Indian intelligence agencies will be the aim and intent, with maximum impact sought. A misconceived notion seems to exist in Pakistan that India is tied in knots and even serious analysts like Ayesha Siddiqa seems to be swayed by it. There appears to be a fair misreading of India’s military capabilities due to our more than transparent discussions on national media about an existing hollowness. The reported communication by India’s National Security Adviser (NSA) to his US counterpart on February 27 that India may not hold back if the captured IAF pilot was ill-treated and the move of some surface-to-surface missile batteries spells a level of seriousness which Pakistan does not appear to take at face value. Pakistan’s introspection on its ability to wage war against India, given the state of its economy, should force it to desist from any further risk. However, the irrationality and ‘hara-kiri’ approach, without examining the terminal end of actions it initiates, continues to create an impasse which may hurtle the subcontinent towards a war-like situation earlier than ever contemplated before. A lot would depend on what China advises the Pakistani leadership, having just bailed it out of yet another imminent bankruptcy. Also, much would depend on PM Imran Khan’s ability to resist the Generals whose gung-ho attitude and misplaced confidence now needs to be factored even more in India’s appreciation of future security scenarios.

While Indian intelligence agencies have done a creditable job and the Pulwama incident was not something easily avoidable, it is going to be difficult to defend them in the event of more such acts by pro-Pakistan elements in Kashmir or elsewhere. India’s diplomatic efforts must remain at a high pitch not for any other reason but to convey the seriousness with which India looks at the developing situation in the subcontinent. Pakistan appears to have pinned far too many hopes on its nuclear basket. Our unwillingness not to speak about our own nuclear capability may be misconstrued by our adversary.

Perhaps it is time to do what former Army Chief General Padmanabhan did in early 2002 — the conveyance of a message in no uncertain terms. Getting Pakistan to a state of full military mobilisation will cost it dear and put the international community on tenterhooks. India can no longer sit and await being hit by the next spectacular event that Pakistan has planned. An escalation this time will probably mean war and Pakistan can only do lip service to its capability to withstand the Indian military might.

Army orders inquiry against Brigadier for ‘irregularities’

April 1, 2019 webadmin Leave a comment

The inquiry will investigate allegations of financial and procedural irregularities made against him.

The Army has ordered an inquiry against the Commander of an artillery brigade in Bathinda to investigate allegations of financial and procedural irregularities made against him.

Highly placed sources in the Army have informed The Indian Express that the one-man inquiry against the Brigadier (name withheld) has been ordered by the Jaipur-based South Western Command. It is being conducted by Maj Gen ARS Kahlon, who is the General Officer Commanding of an armoured division based in Hisar, Haryana.

It is learnt that the irregularities were pointed out in some complaints made to the South Western Command Headquarters following which the one-man inquiry was ordered. The irregularities pertain to the purported repairs which were to be done to the Gun House — the official residence of the artillery brigade commander — as well as the stay of a woman in the guest room of the officers mess which was booked in the name of the brigade commander.

When contacted a senior officer in the Army Headquarters confirmed that the inquiry was on. He further said that the one-man inquiry had been ordered to ascertain the allegations which had been made in the complaints and if there was any requirement to proceed further and order a full fledged Court of Inquiry. “The inquiry is still in progress and is yet to be finalised,” the officer said.

A one-man inquiry is often ordered in the Army to investigate certain allegations against officers at a preliminary stage. If any truth is found in the allegations then a formal Court of Inquiry is ordered in which there are three members including one officer senior in rank to the person against whom the inquiry is being held and two officers of similar rank as the person facing the inquiry.

The present Chief of Army Staff, General Bipin Rawat, has given strict instructions to deal with any incident of impropriety or moral turpitude with strong hands. There have been a number of cases in the past two and a half years where even senior officers have faced dismissal from service after having faced a General Courts Martial for the offences committed by them.

Ex-serviceman found dead outside house

Ranjit Singh

Abohar, April 19

An ex-serviceman, Ranjit Singh (41), who had participated in Operation Rakshak in 1999 in Jammu and Kashmir, was found dead outside his house in Baba Deep Singh Nagar here today.

His brother Kuldeep Singh, who had escorted their mother to Chandigarh, returned today and noticed the body lying in a pit outside the house where Ranjit was living alone.

Kuldeep said Ranjit had become a psychiatric patient during Operation Rakshak. After getting treatment for three months, he started living here. As injuries were spotted on head and neck, the police sent the body for postmortem examination. Further action would be initiated after receiving the medical report, the police said. —
