Jammu: The Director General of Border Security Force DK Pathak said in a tough stance over the repeated ceasefire violations by neighboring country Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir that Indian forces will respond in equal provocation from Pakistan on border.
After paying tribute to Constable Devender Singh who was martyred in the recent ceasefire violation in Samba district, DG Pathak said, “It’s not a happy situation. We want normalcy to be restored as soon as possible but what can be done? How can keep silent? We will respond when we are fired at.”
He also said, “We want peace but peace has to come from both the sides, it cannot be one sided.”
He claimed that there has been not a single provocation from the Indian side.
Pathak also said that the unprovoked firing from Pakistan side along border may be a cover fire to push in terrorists into state.
He said, “From 31st (December) night have foiled 2-3 attempts of infiltration, could be the reason(for unprovoked firing).”
On the death of civilians, Pathak said, “BSF, as a professional organisation, will never target civilian areas, whereas from their side they invariably target civilian areas.”
