Will continue to retaliate to acts of provocation: Indian DGMO to Pakistani counterpart

NEW DELHI: The Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) of India Lt Gen AK Bhatt on Monday warned his Pakistani counterpart Major Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza that the Indian Army would continue to retaliate to "provocative acts of aggression" from its neighbour.
"Indian Army will continue to take all retaliatory measures as well as retain the right to punitively respond to such provocative acts of aggression from Pak side in future too," Bhatt said.
He also rejected Pakistan's allegations that Indian security forces had resorted to unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC).
The exchange between the two sides came during unscheduled talks over the hotline, at Islamabad's behest.
