NEW DELHI, Mar 2 (APP): India has ignored Pakistan to witness military exercises being held in Rajasthan, despite extending invitation to about 100 foreign observers from foreign missions here. The Indian Army and Air Force will participate in “Operation Brazen Chariots” expected to begin from March 24 in the region around Pokhran in the Thar desert close to Pakistan border.
“The Asian Age” reported that Pakistan had not been invited so far by the Indian government to send an observer to witness these war games.
The Indian government has invited foreign observers numbering about 100 from the missions of several other countries.
However, Indian Defence Minister A.K. Antony had recently said that Pakistan had been informed about the holding of these exercises in advance.
When contacted, Indian Army officials said that the Indian government had previously proposed several military CBMs to Pakistan, the daily added.
