JaipurIt is up to the “neighbouring country” how it treats militant organisations but India will continue to raise the matter, Army chief General Bipin Rawat said Tuesday reacting to former Pakistan president Parvez Musharraf’s statement on a poll alliance with Hafiz Saeed.
Rawat also asserted that there will be no let up in the operations against militants in Kashmir.
“Operations in Kashmir are going on continuously and we are trying to bring an improvement in the situation in the Valley. Such operations will go on,” Rawat told reporters at the sidelines of a ceremony at Suratgarh military station.
The security forces in Jammu and Kashmir have eliminated over 200 militants this year, the highest number since 2010.
Reacting tn Musharraf’s statement welcoming an alliance with Hafiz Saeed for the 2018 general election in Pakistan, Rawat said that it was for the neighbouring country to decide how it deals with terrorist organisations.
“If they want to come into the system then why not the terrorist organisations which are present this (Indian) side participate and be part of the electoral process. How the neighbouring country deals with terrorist organisations is their matter but we will keep raising this,” Rawat said.
We do not want that such organisations are promoted, he added.
