Surgical strikes in PoK had political clearance: Former Army chief Dalbir Singh Suhag
In an exclusive chat with India Today, former Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag speaks on the surgical strikes on terror camps in PoK in September last year and on the Myanmar operation against NSCN-K terrorists.
He said that earlier strikes were all localised strikes, while the surgical strike in PoK had political clearance and were conducted on multiple locations.
Comparing the two counter-terror operations, Suhag said that surgical strikes across LoC were much more complicated than strikes across Myanmar.
"Surgical strikes across LoC was conducted over a frontage of 200 - 250 km. My biggest concern was to bring back our boys safely. PM Modi took a very bold decision. We can strike again. Pakistan is no longer safe and we introduced an element of uncertainty. Surgical strikes have achieved the desired impact."
