In an analysis of what the term as the “operational scenario,” the Major General and his team of defence researchers, in the latest issue of the defence magazine “Indian Defence Review,” say that Pakistan was heading for a more direct and open support of the militants which could usher in war clouds to the horizon.
Gen Karim warms that any future Indo-Pak conflict would be a “no. holds barred campaign” and had the jeopardy of triggering a third party intervention in the South Asian region.
Pakistan’s support for Khalistan was becoming more over and the induction of hi-tech arms into Kashmir had made the security situation in the two states serious, : he says.
