Defence minister Manohar Parrikar said on Thursday that Indian Army's operation in Myanmar against northeast militants shows a change in mindset. Taking a dig at Pakistan, the defence minister said "those who fear India's new posture have already started reacting". Pakistan is not Myanmar, and India should not think of repeating such an exercise inside Pakistani territory," said Pakistan interior minister Nisar Ali Khan, a day after Indian para-commandos neutralized up to 50 northeastern militants, pre-empting another assault after the one on June 4 in which 18 soldiers of 6 Dogra were killed.

Refusing to go into details of the operation, the minister said, "Those who fear India's new posture have started reacting". He also declined to take questions from the media on the military action.
