Relieve Army from counter-terror duties, says Parliamentary panel

Observing that deployment in counter-insurgency operations was straining the resources of the Army, a Parliamentary panel on Monday said the force should be relieved from these tasks to focus on undertaking its regular conventional duties.
In its report tabled on Monday, the Standing Committee on Defence expressed concern for saving lives of soldiers in counter-terrorist operations and slammed the Defence Ministry for its "lackadaisical attitude" for doing away with the deficiency of around 1.86 lakh bullet-proof jackets for Army troops.

The Standing Committee on Defence expressed concern for saving lives of soldiers in counter-terrorist operation.
On Army's role in counter-terrorism operations, it said the force's "commitments towards counter-insurgency operations strain its resources and is at the expense of its conventional war-fighting potential."
"The Committee endorse the Defence Ministry's views that counter-insurgency operations should ideally be conducted by the state-police or central police forces as the matter lies within the domain of internal security and the Army should be deployed only as the last resort," the report said.
The Committee asked the Ministry to discuss the "matter with higher echelons in light of the recommendations and relive Army from Counter Insurgency operations so that the personnel deployed in operations are available to undertake their regular duties."

Good idea, but are the others trained?

 

[Yusuf]

The MPs will do the job of CI? Its a move at removing Army from JnK. Idiotic to say the least.

 

[JBH22]

The concern was that each agency was created to handle specific jobs;

Army; Defence of the state against External threat
BSF: Patrol Borders
CRPF: To undertake all COIN Ops though its far from being a premier agency in this sphere, army Rashtriya Rifles by far outclass it.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

So Army would not bother them asking BP jackets and other necessity which are needed ?

We have seen the military acumen of our Ministers and Parliamentarians.

The Chinese intrusion was but an acne that could be removed by an ointment.

And yesterday on TV I saw a Congress spokesman, who proudly acclaimed that he was the Chairman of the Law Standing Committee state that that the song from Hakeekat was a strong message sent to China that India cannot be meddle with!

They live in a Fool's Paradise!
