A top Indian Army officer on Sunday called up the Pakistan Army establishment to convey New Delhi's "serious concerns" on Pakistan-sponsored fidyaeen (suicidal) attack.
The arms and ammunition carried by the Uri attackers had Pakistan's markings. "Since the terrorists had some items with Pakistani markings, I have spoken to Pakistan DGMO and conveyed our serious concerns on the same," director general of military operations Lt Gen Ranbir Singh said here.
Army chief Gen Dalbir Singh flew to Uri for an on-the-spot assessment and briefed Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar in Srinagar.
The DGMO asserted that Indian troops are prepared to thwart any nefarious designs. "Any evil designs of the adversary shall be given a befitting reply," he noted.
"All four killed were foreign terrorists and had some items with them which had Pakistani markings. Initial reports indicate that the slain terrorists belong to Jaish-e-Mohammed tanzeem," said Singh, who appraised the political leadership in the national capital after the terror strike.
After returning to the capital, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said he instructed the Army to take firm action against those responsible.
There are reports of the terrorists carrying maps with markings on Pashtun language, though there is no official confirmation.
The extraordinary phone call from Singh to his Pakistan counterpart Maj Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza showed how seriously the government had taken the latest terror strike. As per the standard drill, the two DGMOs speak once in a week, generally on Tuesdays.
"Its a serious setback for the Army," said one officer. The terror strike on the brigade headquarters comes at a time when one Army unit (10 Dogra) was vacating the post, which was to be taken over by another unit (6 Bihar), which bore the brunt of the terror strike.
