New Delhi: Indian Army chief General Manoj Naravane on Wednesday said that abrogation of Article 370 has adversely affected plans of 'western neighbour'.
Addressing the army personnel on the occasion of Army Day, Naravane referred to Pakistan and its proxies and reiterated that India has zero-tolerance against terrorism.
"Abrogation of article 370 is a historic step which will connect Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of the country. The decision has adversely affected the plans of western neighbour and its proxies," Naravane said.

In August last year, the government abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution, which conferred special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcated it into two Union territories- Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
Earlier, Gen M M Naravane had said that if the order comes from the parliament, the army is even ready to reclaim Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).
