Mumbai terror attacks exposed Pakistan's complicity: Kapoor


Pune, Nov 19 (PTI) Terming Pakistan as a "state in
decline exporting terrorism", Indian Army Chief General Deepak
Kapoor has said the Mumbai terror strikes has exposed the
neighbouring country's complicity.
"Mumbai terror attacks has exposed Pakistan's
complicity. The hatred for India is so deeply ingrained in the
Pakistani psyche that it fails to see the benefits of
cooperation with India," Kapoor said, delivering the Gen B C
Joshi memorial lecture at the Department of Defence Studies at
Pune University Wednesday.
He also pointed at the increased infiltration into
India's northernmost state of Jammu and Kashmir from across
the border this year.
Expressing concern over proliferation of nuclear
technology from China to Pakistan, Gen Kapoor said India
needs to take note of the implications of increased
infrastructure in Tibet.
"We need to take note of the likely implications of
the improvement of infrastructure in Tibet, rapid
modernisation of armed forces as well as strategic initiatives
in the Bay of Bengal and Indian ocean region which could
impact our security calculus in the region," he said.
He, however, said the situation along the Chinese
border had generally been peaceful notwithstanding the media
reports.
On the naxalite menace, he said it was primarily a
"socio-economic" problem, adding the Army was nevertheless,
committed to assist the affected states in the fight against
insurgency. PTI HBJ
