Longevity Of LoC Ceasefire Depends On Pakistan's Actions: Army Chief

He said if Pakistan observes ceasefire in letter and spirit, the small steps can lead to incremental gains.

We are willing to observe the ceasefire as long as they do so," he told some journalists at the end of his two-day visit to Kashmir. The Army chief said other activities like terror infrastructure, including terrorist camps and presence of terrorists on the other side of the LoC, were continuing in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. "Therefore, there can be no slackening of our level of preparedness," he added.
