Troop pullback sends mixed signals
NEW DELHI: Ten months after the Army's unprecedented mobilisation along the entire Pakistan border, the Vajpayee government has ordered its withdrawal without coming any closer to achieving its stated goal of forcing Islamabad to stop cross-border terrorism.
Though the successful completion of the Kashmir elections is being cited as evidence that the troop mobilisation has produced the desired results, the government had noted as recently as October 4 that Pakistan "has consistently failed all tests, litmus or otherwise".
