Govt Rejected IAF Proposal To Strike Pakistan After 26/11 republicworld.com

Former Air Force chief BS Dhanoa on Saturday said that the previous government had rejected the plan to hit terror camps in Pakistan after the 2001 Parliament and 2008 Mumbai attacks. Dhanoa revealed that the Indian Air Force (IAF) had started working on a plan to strike terrorist camps across the border in Pakistan after the car bombing of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly in 2001.

After the J-K Assembly attack in 2001, the IAF started planning how to strike terrorist camps if there was any large-scale terrorist attack in India. This proposal was put to the government twice,” Dhanoa said. He added, “It was put to the government after the Parliament attack, and again when the government asked about it.”
