Summary Will mull other options if ceasefire violations continue, said Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne.
NEW DELHI: The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne, on Saturday warned Pakistan that India will be forced to consider other options, if ceasefire violations continue.
The Indian Air Force chief expressed his grave concern following recent incidents at LoC.
Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne said: “We have a line of control, we have a ceasefire agreement, we have certain mechanisms, we have certain structures and that is sacrosanct.”
“Any violation of these with impunity, especially as to what’s been happening in the last few months, is totally unacceptable. We are monitoring the situation very carefully because if these things continue the way they are and the violations continue to take place, then perhaps we may have to look at some other options for compliance.”
The tension between the two Asian neighbours has aggravated after the India claimed that two of its soldiers, deployed at Mendhar Sector, were killed by Pakistani troops on Tuesday.
Pakistan, on the other hand, summoned the Indian ambassador on Friday to protest against “unacceptable and unprovoked” attacks by the Indian army that killed two Pakistani soldiers in five days in Kashmir.
Both sides claim responding to firing but neither is willing to admit which side fired first.
