Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue 2020, Gen Rawat said, \u201cTerrorism is here to stay as long as there are states which use terror as policy and till there are proxies who provide weapons. We have to bring an end to terrorism and that can only happen the way Americans started after the 9\/11 terror attacks.\u201d \u201cThey said let\u2019s go on a spree on global war on terror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do that you have to isolate the terrorists and anybody who is sponsoring terrorism has to be taken to task,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gen Rawat was part of a panel discussion on the evolving nature of counterterrorism. The consensus among the speakers was that threat of terrorism was pervasive and continues to warrant international attention and greater cooperation within the intelligence community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnyone sponsoring terrorism has to be taken to task,\u201d the CDS added. On being asked by the moderator of the discussion if he was referring to Pakistan, he said, \u201cI am referring to any such country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Pakistan, Gen Rawat said, \u201cYou have to bring about accountability. Denial that they are victims of terror is not an answer. Time has come to take the bull by its horns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On being asked if the Army had been heavy-handed in Kashmir, Gen Rawat said there was an impression that the Army was heavy-handed, but that was wrong. \u201cWe used hard measures in early 1990s. Look at the casualties we are suffering,\u201d he argued his opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
