Expecting more attempts of infiltration this summer: Antony
New Delhi, May 28 (PTI) India's Defence Minister A K
Antony Saturday said the armed forces were expecting "more
attempts of infiltration" during summer by terrorists from
across the Line of Control (LoC).
"During winter time also, there were serious attempts of
infiltration. This summer, we are expecting more attempts of
infiltration," he told reporters here.
The minister was commenting on reports suggesting that
more bunkers were found by security forces near the LoC, the
military control line between India and Pakistan-occupied
parts of the northernmost Indian region of Kashmir.
He said the armed forces were fully prepared to meet the
challenge.
On the use of defence forces against the Naxalites,
Antony said the government did not want to have a "public
debate" on the issue.
"Regarding Naxals, from the government side, we don't
want a public debate. Government is seriously watching the
whole development and analysing it. After carefully applying
our mind, we will take a decision on the matter.
"Whenever and whatever decision the government takes,
that decision will be applicable to everybody including the
Defence Ministry," he added. PTI AJD
