NEW DELHI, May 14: India will find it difficult to show restraint in its military stand-off with Pakistan if attacks like the one at an Indian army camp near held Jammu persist, said a junior minister on Tuesday, according to the Press Trust of India.
“Events like this will ensure that restraint (by India) will not last,” junior foreign minister Omar Abdullah told reporters.
He said the “terrorist strike” in held Jammu may turn out to be a flashpoint in relations with Pakistan.
He said it would be “unfair” to expect only India to exercise restraint while Pakistan was not taking concrete measures to control the violence.
Abdullah said Indian army brass was likely to review their defence preparedness and troop positions along the border following the attack.—AFP
