The Army has said that the US pull out from Afghanistan may push some militants into Kashmir, but the security forces are ready to tackle any situation.
Lt. General Davendra Pratap Pandey, the GoC of Srinagar-based 15 Corps, made the remarks while speaking to reporters on Friday on the sidelines of a passing out parade at the JAKLI regimental centre here.
"Some people who are fond of so-called Azadi must ponder over what is the situation across the LoC and in Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Whatever happened 30 year ago caused huge distress to the people of Kashmir. Yes, there is a possibility that US forces pull out from Afghanistan may push some militants into Kashmir, but the situation is not what it was 30 years ago," he said.
"We are ready and fully geared up to foil all bids and to face every challenge whether on LoC or the hinterland."

"We are ready and fully geared up to foil all bids and to face every challenge whether on LoC or the hinterland."
He said that for the Army the first priority is always conventional training, then counter-insurgency operations or counter-infiltration operations.
"Wherever police needs us for any kind of operation we are joining them. Ceasefire or no ceasefire, our eyes are set on our enemy. We are ready to face any misadventure be that on the LoC or in the hinterland. We are ready to respond at every level effectively."
