Anti-Naxal operation: Army to abide by government’s decision

The army will do what the government asks it to do regarding anti-Maoist operations, said Army chief Gen VK Singh.
However, he was non-committal when asked whether the army would be deployed against the naxals.
This remark comes against the backdrop of Union Home Minister P Chidambaram’s remarks that the government was considering using air force against the naxals.
It is for the political leadership to take appropriate decision on the keeping all the things in mind, said Gen VK Singh.
He said employing the army in these operations has its own implications as "there are a lot of things that you have to do in terms of what you want as the end result."
