As Pakistan resorted to fresh firing from across the border, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on January 1 said if anyone dares to cast an evil eye on India, security forces will give a fitting response, reports Daily Excelsior. “Our jawans are protecting the border with all their might. No one can dare cast an evil eye on India. Even if someone tries to do so, BSF [Border Security Force] and other security forces will give them a fitting reply,” Singh said. “Pakistan should not do this. Diplomats of both the countries remain in constant touch,” Singh added.

They started (cross-border) firing at 12.30 in the night and don’t seem to learn (any) lesson,” Parrikar said. He said, “There are ceasefire violations….Whenever they want infiltration to be done, many times they do the firings at night…I don’t think that we have allowed that to happen… Our response is more than double the capacity.”

Groups of Pakistani terrorists have positioned themselves at eight to nine launch pads along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), The Times of India reports on January 3. They are waiting to infiltrate under the cover of fire provided by Pakistani forces, for carrying out attacks in India ahead of US President Barack Obama's visit in January, according to sources in the Indian security establishment. Intelligence reports have indicated that the potential infiltrators, who have organized themselves in groups ranging from four to five members to 40-45 members, are attempting to cross over "with the blessings of the highest authority in the Pakistani army". "The purpose seems to be to carry out spectacular strikes in India ahead of or during Obama's visit here to be part of the Republic Day celebrations," said a senior intelligence official, citing the latest intelligence reports reaching the Centre.

Official sources said that at least 70 new militants, who were well trained in new kind of ‘sneak-in fidayeen attack strategy’ were camping at five to six places in Sialkot area of Pakistan opposite Samba sector with a view to infiltrate into the Indian territory to carry out Arnia like terror attack before the visit of United States President Barrack Obama to India on January 26, reports Daily Excelsior on January 4. The official sources said “The militants were well equipped with arms and explosives and new device ‘floaters’, which would safely help them swim through nullahs in Samba and Hiranagar sectors, in their infiltration attempts.” All 70 trained Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants were Pakistanis, according to sources.

The Pakistani Rangers joined by Pakistan Army on January 5 resorted to heavy mortar shelling and firing using long range weapons targeting about 28 BSF posts and more than 70 border villages in Hiranagar and Samba sectors, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said “It was virtually a war like situation with sound of mortar shell explosions and firing with heavy automatic weapons shaking not only Hiranagar and Samba sectors but even the towns and the National Highway. This was for the first time that mortar shells landed four kilometers inside the border and exploded outside the houses and in the fields, causing heavy loss of property. This clearly indicated that the Pakistan Army has replaced the Rangers in most of the posts in Sialkot sector opposite Samba and Hiranagar to target the BSF posts and civilian areas on the Indian side. The long range weapons used in firing mortar shells deep inside the Indian villages are in possession of Pakistan Army only and not the Rangers.” Intelligence inputs also suggested that the Rangers have been replaced by Pakistan Army after former’s complete failure on the IB.

Lieutenant General Subrata Saha, General officer commanding (GOC) of the Srinagar-based 15 Corps said that Indian troops have been ordered not to react to cross-border shelling or firing immediately but wait for targets to show, reports Times of India on January 10 (today). He said "After all, we have no plans to fight a war so it's no use aimlessly shelling or firing across the Line of Control (LoC). The troops simply stay put while the firing continues and then maintain strict vigil through night-vision equipment if necessary. Whenever a target presents itself, it is neutralized. This has yielded good results. After all, it's better to strike where it hurts."

On January 13, the Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag said that Pakistan is continuing to support “proxy war” in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Daily Excelsior. “Pakistan is supporting proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir despite suffering casualties within their country. Threats and challenges have been growing, both in intensity as well as commitment, because of active borders that we have.” Talking about the recent attacks against the Army in Jammu and Kashmir, he said, “The recent strikes by the terrorists not only reflect their desperation but are also a grim reminder that the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan is intact.” Talking about the rise in ceasefire violations, he said that the action has slowly moved to the International Border and not the Line of Control (LoC). “That is probably, likely to be because of our counter infiltration grid is stronger on LoC,” he said, adding that measures like ‘obstacle systems’ are making it difficult for the terrorists to infiltrate. The Army chief added that his force has a good tier system of counter infiltration grid. He admitted that there are areas, like open drains and streams that are susceptible to infiltration attempts at the International Border. Talking about the situation in Afghanistan, Singh said, “… But definitely, the draw-down is likely to have its own effect. That cannot be ruled out. And we have to be prepared for it. Terrorist network can extend from Afghanistan to our side and J&K is one area where the effect could be felt. We are aware of this possibility and because of this we are keeping a careful watch.” Asked about the perception that Army commanders are not being given a free hand in operations, Singh said, “The commanders have a free hand to operate. I have given full freedom as far as operation is concerned. On the LoC, they have a free hand to retaliate to Pakistan firing in a manner that they feel is appropriate.” However, he underlined that the Army has a “zero-tolerance” approach to human rights violations. The Army chief pointed out that 2014 saw the highest number of terrorists being neutralised in the State during recent years and put the figure at 110, out of which 104 were killed by the force. In 2013, 65 terrorists were killed. Singh said the high figure showed the effectiveness of the counter insurgency grid that the Army has set up in the State.
