\nBlaming the social media for radicalisation of the Valley youth, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat today said the problem was being tackled with a \u201clot of seriousness\u201d.<\/p>\n
On a day-long visit here, he brushed aside the braid-chopping incidents in the state as a \u201croutine matter\u201d which, he said, would be tackled by the civil administration and the state police.<\/p>\n
He was speaking on the sidelines of a function at the Sunjwan military station where he presented the President\u2019s Standards to 47 Armoured Regiment. On June 28, 2003, at least 12 soldiers were killed at this station in a fidayeen attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cRadicalisation is a worldwide phenomenon. The Jammu and Kashmir Government, the police, the administration and everybody else are concerned. We are trying to ensure that people are weaned away from it,\u201d the Army Chief said.<\/p>\n
On the Pakistan army chief\u2019s statement that they wanted better ties with India, he said: \u201cThe military has a task and we will continue to perform our task. Any talks have to be decided at the political level.\u201d<\/p>\n
On inquiries into various terror attacks on military establishments, he replied: \u201cInquiries have been completed and action has been taken. Punishment is being awarded to those found guilty. Nobody will be spared.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pointing out that training camps for terrorists across the Line of Control had not been shut, he said a surgical strike was not the only option the Army had. \u201cOther methods too are being followed.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Pakistani troops and militants across the LoC increasingly relying on snipers to target Indian troops and civilians, the General said, \u201cThese methods are not new.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
