Following Rajouri encounter, Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi on Friday said although we have lost our Army personnel but we have eliminated the terrorists.
Talking to reporters in Rajouri, Lt Gen Dwivedi said our brave soldiers did the work of eliminating the trained foreign terrorists without thinking about their own lives.
“This is a major setback to the terrorists’ eco-system and Pakistan. 20-25 terrorists could be operating in the area. We should be able to control the situation in one year’s time,” he said.
On being asked if some of the terrorists could be soldiers of the Pakistan Army’s Special Forces, Northern Army Commander Lt Gen Upendra Dwivedi said some of the terrorists have been found to be retired soldiers.
“Pakistan wants to bring foreign terrorists here as there are no local recruits here. We are trying to eliminate the foreign terrorists,” he added.
