Chief of Army Staff Gen Bipin Rawat has said the Balakot attack in February was to ensure that terrorists being trained across the border do not survive to carry out action against India. \u201cCoordinated efforts are being made by various government agencies to tackle cross-border terrorism,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough coordinated efforts of various government agencies, now the NIA has stepped in, the Enforcement Directorate has stepped in and all are trying to ensure financing and funds available to terrorists are cut-off,\u201d he said, responding to a question on insurgency in Kashmir at a media interaction here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rawat said, \u201cThe country has been facing terrorism since Independence and that security forces and all agencies supporting them have met these challenges head-on. We have been able to ensure that the insurgency has been brought under control. Of course in the Kashmir Valley, we have been witnessing ups and downs of insurgencies. That\u2019s because they got support from our western neighbour. At the same time many are misguided due to a misinformation campaign spread by terrorists. But we have brought the situation under control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief of Army staff was interacting with the media here yesterday after reviewing the passing-out parade of 264 trainees, comprising midshipmen and cadets of the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard and 10 international cadets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked about the radar comment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rawat said some types of radar couldn\u2019t see through clouds because of the manner in which it operates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
