Pune, May 12: Former Indian Army chief General Manoj Naravane has slammed questions being raised on the suspension of hostilities between India and Pakistan, saying war is not romantic and is not a Bollywood movie.
\nSpeaking at an event in Pune on Sunday, Naravane said if ordered, he would go to war, but diplomacy would be his first choice.
\nHe said there is trauma among people living in the border areas, including children who have seen shelling and have to run to shelters at night.
\n\u201cFor those who have lost their loved ones, that trauma will be carried through generations. There\u2019s also something called PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). People who have seen gruesome scenes wake up sweating even after 20 years and need psychiatric care,\u201d he said.
\nNaravane was speaking at a programme organised by the Institute of Cost Accountants of India.
\n\u201cWar is not romantic. It is not your Bollywood movie. It is very serious business. War or violence should be the last thing we should resort to, which is why our Prime Minister said this is not an era of war. Although war will be forced upon us by unwise people, we should not cheer for it,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cStill, people are asking why we have not gone for a full-out war. As a military man, if ordered, I will go to war, but that will not be my first choice,\u201d the former Indian Army Chief said.
\nNaravane said his first choice would be diplomacy, settling differences through dialogue and not reaching the stage of armed conflict.
\n\u201cWe are all equal stakeholders in national security. We should try to resolve differences not only between countries, but amongst ourselves, whether in families or between states, regions and communities. Violence is not the answer,\u201d he said.
\nIndia launched Operation Sindoor on early May 7 to destroy seven terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir in retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack.
\nIndia and Pakistan on Saturday announced reaching an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea.<\/p>\n
