| Advani favours change in strategy to counter proxy war |
| 2002-05-20 |
| Home Minister LK Advani on Monday said the Government would have to change its strategy in dealing with the proxy war being waged by Pakistan and asserted "we will win the battle". "The Government is of firm belief that the way we are retaliating will have to be changed," Advani said while inaugurating a charity centre here. He said any decision in this regard would be taken in close consultation with the armed forces. Referring to the way the government is tackling the situation, Advani said "the issue was debated by Parliament on the last day of the budget session. On that basis and in consultations with army, the government would go ahead and win the proxy war like we did in 1971." Counterinfiltrating would make a lot more sense than nuclear war. It's a little hard on the counterinfiltrators, but it can be effective if the controllers aren't squeamish. |
