We are treating it and will treat it as such. Maintaining that the Pakistani military build-up could not be termed as very aggressive, he asserted that Army, Navy and Air Force were taking adequate precautions and were prepared for any contingency. The armed forces wanted to clear the intrusions along the 120-km stretch of the LoC as early as possible, he said. On Pakistan Army Chief s remark that chances of peace were fading, Malik said no comments. We have a mandate and we have to get on with it.
Intelligence is a big word.
We need to improve our surveillance and we are conscious of our limitations. Physical surveillance all along the LoC is not possible. So we have to make use of more technical equipment, he said, adding intelligence encompasses lots of organisations. I would not like to say anything more. The General said intruders were getting full artillery and logistic support from across the LoC, when asked if there was military build-up across the border and whether the Pakistan army s designs were aggressive.
