Insurgency threat in Punjab, Assam: Rawat

Attempts are being made through “external linkages” to “revive the insurgency” in Punjab and if early action is not taken it will be too late, Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said yesterday.

He was addressing a gathering of senior Army officers, defence experts and former senior officials of government and police at a seminar here on ‘Changing Contours of Internal Security in India: Trends and Responses’.

Rawat also said that attempts were being made again through “external linkages” and “external abetment” to revive the insurgency in Assam. (PTI)
