Pakistani provocations and Indian response

New Delhi: The retaliation for the Pulwama terror attack will come at a time and place of India’s choosing, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to assuage the feelings of the country seething with anger after the killing of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel in a suicide bombing in Jammu and Kashmir. The reference to the place and time of revenge immediately after a major terrorist strike has gradually replaced the much-maligned and often-repeated government response of “strong condemnation”.

Beheading of Indian soldier in 2013:

Lance Naik Hemraj was beheaded on the Line of Control (LoC) on January 8, 2013 resulting in massive anger over the mutilation of his body by Pakistan Army regulars. Then Army chief Gen Bikram Singh talked about retaliation at the time and place of India’s choosing.

Response:

Though never publicized, Gen Bikram Singh, while retiring in July 2014, claimed that India had given a befitting response to the beheading. He did not share details of the response.

Attack on Pathankot air base 2016:

A group of terrorists entered the Indian Air Force (IAF) base in Pathankot in Janaury 2016. Seven security personnel and a civilian died in the attack. Though the high-value assets at the base were protected and the attack was foiled, it exposed serious chinks in the security of military installations. New Delhi promised to give a befitting reply.

Response:

India allowed an ISI team to visit the Pathankot air base in March 2016 to investigate the attack, in a first of the kind move. Islamabad refused to allow an Indian probe team to visit Pakistan. (IANS)
