NEW DELHI, Feb 19: Army Chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi has said that since 2014, India has been \u201cassertive\u201d in its communication with Pakistan on the Line of Control (LoC), and they have understood that \u201cwe mean business.\u201dSpeaking to a news agency, the Army Chief suggested that India is now aggressive enough to respond if Pakistan provokes us.
\n\u201cNow what has happened from 2014, if you see, that both sides have generally understood that we mean business. And India has said very clearly that we will be assertive in our communication. And if required, we can be aggressive also. So, what you have just spoken about, it was a kind of an indication that look, if you force us, then we will be aggressive enough to communicate our intent,\u201d he said.
\nGen Dwivedi also stressed the impact of the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019 in Jammu and Kashmir, noting that the number of terrorists and the recruitment of locals have significantly gone down, and people no longer have \u201cconfusion\u201d over identity.
\nThe Army Chief emphasized that the decision to revoke the special status reflected India\u2019s intent to take a \u201cno compromise\u201d approach.
\n\u201cThe local terrorist number has reduced. The number of recruitment has also reduced a lot. Why? Because from August 2019, India has very clearly conveyed its intent for complete J-K. And Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. And there is no compromise on that,\u201d Gen Dwivedi said.
\nThe Chief of Army Staff gave an example of the identity issue people of J-K faced before the abrogation of Article 370, noting resolving the matter had also helped solve the issue of Over Ground Workers (OGWs) -people who help terrorists.
\nHe said the wife of a senior political leader in the erstwhile state had said that after August 2019, when her children went to school, they didn\u2019t have confusion, as earlier, they did not know which flag to draw when asked to do so.
\n\u201cBut after August 5, 2019, children are very clear about which flag is to be drawn in their copy. So that is the intent which has been conveyed. So once that intent has been conveyed, it means the OGWs number will definitely go down,\u201d Gen Dwivedi said.
\nHe mentioned that security forces\u2019 collaborative efforts to help the people of Kashmir and the theme of \u201cterrorism to tourism\u201d have resulted in success.
\n\u201c\u2026And the best part is you will find that the inter agencies, the security forces and law enforcement agencies\u2026three have joined hands together to help Awam (people). And now you have injected the development. Once you\u2019ve done all these things, definitely there\u2019ll be a sea change. And that\u2019s why we are saying that our theme of terrorism to tourism is actually seeing signs of success today. More than five lakh pilgrims in AmarnathYatra. It was never heard of earlier.\u201d the COAS said.
\nSpeaking about the three attacks that happened within a week last year, the Army Chief said, \u201cSuch kind of events keep taking place. It happens. And that\u2019s why you have the flag meeting system. When you go for the flag meeting, you discuss frankly what is there, what not. If it\u2019s not getting resolved there, then it is there to the DGMO (Director General of Military Operations) level.\u201d
\nSpeaking about Pakistan\u2019s mentality about Kashmir, the Army Chief said that they are stuck in their own world. Gen Dwivedi took a jibe at Pakistan saying that the Pakistan army has said something and now they don\u2019t have a way out, so they keep \u2018lingering\u2019 on the topic.
\n\u201cSee, they are stuck in their own words. There is a movie by Devanand; I think Narayan has written this book. RK Narayan. Do you remember when Devanand became a sadhu in the last? And he was a madman, so he went and announced that Swamiji had said, I will fast until it rains. Now Pakistan Army has once said that we have to do this. Now they don\u2019t have a way out of it. So they will continue to look for Kashmir,\u201d Gen Dwivedi said.<\/p>\n
