We have a large Army, we are prepared: Amarinder Singh warns Pak Army Chief

New Delhi, Nov 26 (IBNS): Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, who rejected Pakistan's invitation to visit the groundbreaking ceremony for Kartarpur Sahib, on Monday attacked the neighbouring country's Army Chief Qamar Bajwa.

Singh made these remarks while laying the foundation stone for Kartarpur Sahib corridor in Gurdaspur along with Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu.

Targeting Bajwa over the last week's attack at a prayer hall in Amritsar that left three people dead, Singh said, "People were offering prayers in a village and grenades were hurled at them. Is it what is taught by the army? It is cowardliness."

Singh, who is a retired Indian Army officer himself, said, "I would like to ask Pakistan Army Chief Qamar Bajwa something, as a soldier...Which army teaches to violate ceasefire and kill jawans on the other side? Which army teaches to send people to attack Pathankot and Amritsar? This is cowardice."

The Punjab CM also warned Bajwa against disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of Punjab and the country.

"We believe in peace and we are giving a message of peace from here. But, their generals should understand that we have a large Army and we are prepared... And this should not happen as nobody wants war. We all want to carry out development in a peaceful manner," he said.

The remarks come on a day when India observed the 10th anniversary of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai.

Pakistan has been time and again criticised for not bringing justice to the victims of 26/11.
