Pak following `dichotomous policy` in fighting terror: Kapoor

New Delhi, Aug 10 (PTI) Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor
Monday said Pakistan was following a "dichotomous policy" in
fighting terrorism -- operating against militants within the
country and "perpetuating terror" in India.

"I find it rather odd that on the one hand Pakistan would
like to fight terror, therefore it is moving troops to fight
them but on the other hand, it is perpetuating terror by
sending in infiltrators into Kashmir," he said.

"I think they are following a dichotomous policy," Kapoor
told reporters on the sidelines of a seminar here.

About recent spurt in terrorist activities in Jammu and
Kashmir, he said, "Pakistan will use any and every opportunity
to raise Kashmir (issue), whenever they get a chance. So, I
see the increase in infiltration in that context."

"They find things have gone far too peaceful. Amarnath
Yatra has passed off peacefully...perhaps they don't wish for
this prolonged peace and stability," Kapoor said.

"Hence you see heightened activity, heightened attempts
to try to get as many people in before the winters come, snow
falls and passes close," he added.

Asked if Pakistani Army establishment was supporting the
infiltration bids by terrorists, Kapoor said, "the kind of
sophisticated equipment, to be used during very heavy snowfall
and the kind of communications which are available, the
possibility of certain amount of support to them by the
established institutions can not be ruled out."

Commenting on the allegations levelled by a dead Indian
Military Academy cadet's family that his body was handed over
to them in a decomposed state, the Army chief said, "we will
look into their charge".

"We try to ensure that anyone who dies during training or
during operations gets full respect," he said. PTI
