NEW DELHI: Indian Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore said on Wedneday that India’s recent strikes in Myanmaer were a message to all countries, including Pakistan, and groups harbouring “terror intent” towards India.
Hours after the Indian army’s operations in Myanmar, Rajyavardhan Rathore said that the strikes were a message to all countries, including Pakistan adding that “we will strike at a place and at a time of our choosing.”
In a carefully worded statement, the Indian Army said the raids were conducted along the India-Myanmar border.
“Early this (Tuesday) morning, the Indian Army engaged two separate groups of insurgents along the Indo-Myanmar border at two locations along the Nagaland and Manipur borders.
Significant casualties have been inflicted on them. As a consequence, threats to our civilian population and security forces have been averted,” the statement said.
“We are in communication with the Myanmar authorities on this matter. There is a history of close cooperation between our two militaries. We look forward to working with them to combat such terrorism,” the statement said.
