NEW DELHI: Government does not want to take any “knee-jerk” reaction in the wake of terror attack in Uri allegedly by terror groups based in Pakistan while it was considering various options, top sources said.
Sources privy to the deliberations among the top Government functionaries said there will be no “knee-jerk” reaction “anytime soon” even though 18 soldiers were killed by four terrorists backed by Pakistan-based groups in the attack on an Army Brigade Headquarters in Uri yesterday.
Action will be taken only after proper planning, coordination, exploring all options and taking everyone concerned into confidence, sources said.
They recalled that in the case of Mynamar last year, the Army carried out an operation along the border against NSCN-K militants involved in the killing of 18 soldiers in Manipur in June, 2015 only after a week.
“Here, we have a hostile Pakistani establishment. So any hasty action is completely ruled out,” a source said. (AGENCIES)
