NEW DELHI: Three weeks ahead of the first anniversary of the Mumbai attacks, Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor said on Wednesday that India had repeatedly allowed perpetrators of terror attacks to get away.
It is for the first time that a service chief has articulated such a point of view. The tough talking army chief asked the country to say no more to terror attacks.
Speaking at a CII seminar on Network Centricity and National Security, Kapoor said, :The US has not allowed a second 9/11 to happen, nor has Indonesia allowed a repeat of Bali bombing. India has allowed people to get away after the Parliament attack, Delhi blasts and finally the 26/11 incident. The time for all of us has come to say no more ( to terror )."
Kapoor's comments come on the heels of Chidambaram's warning on November 1 that India would retaliate if 26/11 - type attacks were repeated. Kapoor said the country could not afford to witness thr repeat of a 26/11-type attack.
Minister of state for defence M.M. Pallam Raju who inaugurated the two-day seminar called for synergy among various intelligence agencies to prevent a repeat of another 26/11-like attack.
