General Kapoor knows well what his forces cannot do: General Tariq

03 Jan, 2010

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee General Tariq Majid on Saturday said the Indian army chief General Kapoor knows very well what the Indian armed forces cannot and Pakistan Armed Forces can pull off militarily. He was responding to a question about jingoistic remarks attributed to General Kapoor in an Indian media report about India's military preparations to fight China and Pakistan simultaneously.
General Tariq Majid said: "Leave alone China, General Deepak Kapoor knows very well what the Indian Armed Forces cannot and Pakistan Armed Forces can pull off militarily." He, however, doubted veracity of the Indian media report that attributed the remarks to the Indian army chief. "General Kapoor could not be so outlandish in strategic postulations to fix India on a self-destruct mechanism. But if the news report is correct, the uncalled for rhetoric only betrays lack of strategic acumen," General Tariq said.
