New Delhi: A day after Pakistan's spy chief threatened reprisal attacks in case New Delhi attempted a special operation against terror suspects on its soil, India Monday carried out a comprehensive review of its security preparedness, amid reports also of the presence of Chinese soldiers in Pakistani Kashmir.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chaired the review, with the three armed forces chiefs providing their assessment of the security situation against the backdrop of the killing of Al Qaida chief Osama Bin Laden.
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Ahmad Shuja Pasha had warned India that an Abbottabad-like operation by New Delhi would invite a fitting response, with Pakistani armed forces having "identified" specific targets and carried out "rehearsals" to attack them.
Alarm
The 90-minute meeting held at the prime minister's house was attended by Defence Minister A.K. Antony, National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon, Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik, Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma, Army Chief General V.K. Singh and Defence Secretary Pradeep Kumar.
The meeting comes less than a week after Antony held a two-day review of overall security of the country and coastal security in particular with maritime agencies and two days after the prime minister returned from Kabul, where he discussed the latest developments with President Hamid Karzai.
The army has also raised an alarm over Chinese military personnel's presence in Pakistan-administered Kashmir in the guise of engineering workers and the threat posed to Jammu and Kashmir.
