#PakJihadiNavy: Navy chief - Pak warships may pose Jihadist threat
- 5 years ago
Navy chief Admiral Robin Dhowan on Wednesday said his force would observe no niceties if it came across Pakistani warships due to a possible threat from Jihadist groups against the backdrop of terrorists attempting to hijack a Pakistan frigate in September.
He said it was customary for warships to exchange pleasantries in international waters but if a Pakistani vessel came close to an Indian ship, it would viewed as a possible Jihadist threat.
“Out at sea, when the officer on watch reports to the captain that we have a warship from another navy on our starboard bow, he tells the officer -wish him good morning. In this changed environment, we may not wish him (Pak warship) good morning anymore,” Dhowan said on the eve of Navy day, which commemorates the daring Karachi raid during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
He said the navy would carry out more surveillance to figure out who exactly he was.
