Principal Defense President (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said on Tuesday that the Indian Army would have to be ready to respond to any kind of violent acts done by Pakistan. Addressing a program here, the CDS said that Pakistan’s full-dimensional resistance theory “needs to be challenged, and emphasized that terrorists cannot hide in any part of Pakistan.
In the opening session of the annual ‘Trident’ lecture chain, he reiterated that military preparations should be of extremely high level, round the clock and 365 days of the year need to be ready. He also underlined that there is little difference between war and peace, and said that they seem to be merging into each other. The CDS said, “We need to create more space for traditional campaigns between unconventional and nuclear regions.”
