Drass (Jammu and Kashmir): Issuing a stern warning, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said here on Thursday that any misadventure by the Pakistan Army will be repelled with the punitive response and no act of terror will go unpunished.
Speaking at a ceremony for commemoration of 20 years of Kargil Vijay Diwas here, he said, "My warning to Pakistan is that do not ever attempt such a misadventure any time, in the future. Anywhere, anytime do not think of it."
"It was a big misadventure undertaken by the Pakistan army in 1999. They did not appreciate the will and the intent of the Indian political establishment and the Indian armed forces that we will never allow them to succeed," he said.
Referring to the advantageous position Pakistani infiltrators occupied during the Kargil war Rawat said, "No matter what heights they capture the Indian army will always get back to them and recapture those heights. This was evident during the Kargil war in 1999."
On being asked about infiltration after Balakot Air Strike, Rawat said, "Infiltration has come down because of two reasons one is because our troops are sitting alert and we have also inducted additional forces to strengthen the counter-infiltration grid."
"So the Pakistan army and terrorists across understand if they come anywhere near the LoC they will only have to come back to recover the body," he added.
