Clearing up speculation over his country's recent military exercise with Pakistan, Russian ambassador to India Alexander Kadakin categorically welcomed Indian raids on terrorist launchpads across the LoC.
In a strong endorsement of the Indian action that goes beyond the American statements and extends Pakistan's isolation beyond south Asia, Kadakin said every country had the right to act in self-defence and called on Islamabad to act againstcross-border terrorism.
Kadakin said the exercise with Pakistan was in fact intended to encourage that country not to target its neighbour.
"India should not be concerned about military exercises between Russia and Pakistan because the theme of the exercise is anti-terror fighting. That's in India's interests that we teach Pakistani army not to use itself for terror attacks against India.
And the exercise was not held in any sensitive or problematic territories like the Pakistan-occupied Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir," said the Russian ambassador.
"The greatest human rights violations take place when terrorists attack military installations and attack peaceful civilians in India.
We welcome the surgical strike. Every country has right to defend itself," Kadakin was quoted as having told a news channel.
