With Pakistan-based Taliban threatening to carry out attacks against India, Army chief Gen Deepak Kapoor today said the armed forces would give a "befitting reply" to the terror group if it operates here.
"We have no doubt that our security forces will give a befitting reply to Taliban whenever they try to carry out destructive activities in our country," he said here when asked about Taliban's threat. Kapoor was talking to reporters after inaugurating an Army Hospital here.
Asked if there was a possibility of the Taliban spilling over from Pakistan to India, he said, "Whenever there is turbulence in any particular region, there is always some spillover effect in the neighbouring country. That is something we all need to guard against."
Taliban militants have carried out six major attacks in the last fortnight in Pakistan with the latest being a suicide bomb attack in Peshawar, where 14 people were killed.
