Afghan-origin terrorists may try to enter J&K once situation stabilises in Afghanistan: Army Chief

Army Staff Gen MM Naravane said Afghan-origin terrorists may try to enter J&K once the situation stabilises in Afghanistan.

Chief of Army Staff Gen MM Naravane on Saturday did not rule out the possibility of Afghan-origin foreign terrorists attempting to infiltrate into Jammu and Kashmir once the situation stabilises in Afghanistan as he cited similar instances when the Taliban was in power in Kabul over two decades ago.

At the same time, he said Indian armed forces are prepared to deal with any eventuality as they have a very strong counter-infiltration grid as well as a mechanism to check terrorist activities in the hinterland in Jammu and Kashmir.
