Joint military operations in J&K will wipe out militancy : BJP
Jammu, Oct 23 (UNI) The BJP today suggested India and Pakistan should conduct joint military exercises to wipe out militancy from Jammu and Kashmir, and destroy the terrorist training camps on the other side of the Line of Control (LoC).
Talking to mediapersons after his arrival this morning, BJP President Rajnath Singh proposed that both the neighbouring countries should carry out joint military operations to eradicate terrorism from the region.
He further asserted that if Pakistan had any apprehension, the military exercises could be conducted under the supervision of international agencies.
The BJP leader expressed his opposition to the demand for demilitarisation in strife-stricken Jammu and Kashmir, being raised from some political corners. He, however, emphasised the requirement for five to ten times more deployment of forces to check infiltration and restore peace in the state.
Owing
to
the
infighting
among
the
allies,
Mr
Singh
said,
''Congress-led
governments
in
Centre
as
well
as
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir
are
on
ventilators,
and
can
fail
any
time.''
Prime
Minister
Manmohan
Singh,
he
said,
''should
decide
whether
to
continue
or
quit
the
office
if
he
was
not
getting
proper
support
of
the
alliance.''
