India can do what US did in Pakistan: Army

May 04, 2011
Here's putting the record straight. Army chief General V K Singh has said that the Indian armed forces are 'competent' to carry out an operation similar to the one conducted by the United States in Pakistan against Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
"I would like to say only this that if such a chance comes, then all the three arms (of the military) are competentto do this," Singh told media persons.
The statements assume significance as there had been demands after 2008 Mumbai terror attacks that India shouldcarry out surgical strikes on terror camps in Pakistan
