Action against Pak proxy war soon: George Sunday, October 21, 2001 ON BOARD SPECIAL IAF PLANE: Indicating "toughest measures" against the Pakistan-sponsored proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir, Defence Minister George Fernandes today said a "specific action" against terrorism would begin soon in the state. "Hot pursuit is not action specific and is only a general statement. What we have been discussing is specific action. Already steps in this direction have been taken and we hope to see the implementation of the specific action plan soon," Fernandes told PTI after his whirlwind tour of forward posts in the Northern Sector. Refusing to divulge details of the plan, Fernandes said "we are not sticking to only one option and we have some more plans too. I have discussed the operations with senior army commanders and we will make things public soon." He said the proxy war perpetrated by Pakistan has to be countered with a befitting reply. Commenting on the recent firing at Akhnoor and Mendhar sector of Jammu region, which were visited by him, Fernandes said "the jawans in these sectors have done a commendable job but at the same time they have maintained the highest tradition of the country and did at no point violate the line of control." naradonline.com
