Statements made by the Indian military on replication of Operation Geronimo has been misunderstood in Pakistan.
NEW DELHI: This is with reference to Zahir Kazmi’s article of May 13 titled “Nuclear pre-emption after Geronimo”.
It seems that the statements made by the Indian army and air chiefs regarding the replication of Operation Geronimo have been misunderstood in Pakistan. What the Indian service chiefs were articulating was the capability which they possess to undertake surgical strikes. I am sure if a similar question was posed to services chiefs in Pakistan, they would also not deny their capability to carry out surgical strikes inside India.
