Lt Gen D S Hooda

A day after the Congress signed up Lt Gen D S Hooda (Retired), architect of the 2016 surgical strikes, to craft its national security manifesto ahead of the general elections later this year, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley took a dig at the party, saying it signalled a "belated and grudging recognition and acceptance" of the operation.

Amid heightened tension with Pakistan and increased infiltration bids, Northern Army Commander Lt Gen D S Hooda today visited the border area of Uri sector of Kashmir and asked troops to remain alert for "any eventuality".

China today said that its decision to invite the head of the Indian Army's Northern Command was part of a consensus between the two countries to enhance military ties to maintain peace on the border pending a final settlement of the boundary dispute.
