'India gave befitting reply to beheading of soldiers'

Outgoing army chief General Bikram Singh Thursday said the Indian Army gave a "befitting reply" to Pakistan on beheading its soldiers.

"The Indian Army gave a befitting reply to Pakistan on beheading Indian soldiers. We are carrying out tactical operations at the LoC. It is an ongoing process and our soldiers are doing their job...," General Bikram Singh said here.

"Army is a robust organisation, very very accountable, very responsive, very potent and a very relevant instrument of national power with the capability to take up any challenges," the outgoing army chief said.

Lt.Gen. Dalbir Singh Suhag takes over as the new army chief Thursday.
