YANGON: Myanmar on Wednesday maintained that Indian forces had carried out an attack on insurgents inside India and that it would not tolerate rebel groups using its soil to attack neighbours.
In a Facebook post, Zaw Htay, director of Myanmar's presidential office, said, "According to the information sent by Tatmadaw (Myanmar army) battalions on the ground, we have learned that the military operation was performed on the Indian side at India-Myanmar border."
"Myanmar will not accept any foreigner who attacks neighbouring countries in the back and creates problems by using our own territory," he added.

The great #56inchrocks debacle: Myanmar delivers an unpleasant PR lesson for Modi sarkarIndian official denies troops stage 'hot pursuit' against rebels in MyanmarAn Indian official Wednesday denied that Indian troops were engaged in a "hot pursuit" in the military operation against militants along the India-Myanmar border. The raids of Tuesday were done with the consent of Myanmar authorities, the Indo-Asian News Service quoted Minister of State for Defense Rao Inderjit Singh as saying. "We did not use hot pursuit. We contacted Burma (Myanmar) authorities before the attack," said the official. The comment comes after some government officials said Prime Minister Narendra Modi ordered the "hot pursuit" against the militants by staging deep strikes inside the Myanmar territory. Some media reports said Myanmar government was informed hours after the Indian troops completed the raids against the rebel camps inside Myanmar, killing over 100 rebels from Nagaland and Manipur states in northeast India. Indian military said it was retaliating against the killing of 19 Indian soldiers by the rebels last week at the India-Myanmar border, noting it had gained the approval from Myanmarese authorities in the action. See this First Post report: A day after the Minister of State Rajyavardhan Rathore's over the top bluster made headlines after the Indian Army's operation against militant camps in Myanmar, the government has been quickly forced into dialling down the rhetoric. The reason: instant backlash from not just Pakistan but also Myanmar. Likely furious at the attempt to paint the operation as a symbol of Indian muscle, Myanmar government strongly denied reports that Indian army forces had crossed its border to carry out the operation. AFP image In a Facebook post Wednesday Zaw Htay, director of Myanmar's presidential office, wrote, "According to the information sent by Tatmadaw (Myanmar army) battalions on the ground, we have learned that the military operation was performed on the Indian side at India-Myanmar border." "Myanmar will not accept any foreigner who attacks neighbouring countries in the back and creates problems by using our own territory," he added, however. Despite an agreement between the two nations, the response from Myanmar comes as no surprise given it doesn't want to be seen as country that will compromise on its territorial integrity. The response from Myanmar was also in keeping with the official statement of the Indian Army which merely stated that its forces had engaged with militants "along the Indo- Myanmar border at two locations along the Nagaland and Manipur borders", but did not mention having crossed it. It was Rathore who played up the fact that the operation had taken place in Myanmar territory. "And it involved our Special Forces crossing the border and going deep into another country," Rathore had told the Indian Express. It was Rathore who led the PR effort to paint the operation as an expression of Indian machismo, employing hashtags on Twitter such as #ManipurRevenge and #56inchRocks. And he is the one who enhanced the significance of one strike, drawing Pakistan into the picture, declaring, "This is a message for all countries, including Pakistan, and groups harbouring terror intent towards India. A terrorist is a terrorist and has no other identity. We will strike when we want to." Worse, it now turns out that Rathore wasn't just another motormouth in the Modi sarkar who made incautious statements without sanction. According to an Express article published today, "When the government decided to field Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore Tuesday night to talk about the Indian Army's strike on terrorist camps in Myanmar, it was because it felt he could send the message across louder and clearer than the Army could. Sources said a political intervention was felt necessary at the "highest level" and that's how Rathore, a retired Army colonel, was chosen to give out details the Army couldn't." Nothing that Rathore shared with the media was a coincidence. He was part of a deliberate PR effort on the part of the government to claim political credit for the military operation. Unfortunately, the move backfired. The careful diplomatic groundwork laid by Indian officials with Myanmar to make the raid possible turned to naught in the chest-beating that followed afterwards. The Indian government is now in the postion of being publicly contradicted by its own ally -- even as Indian officials have been instructed to convey their gratitude to Myanmar for its cooperation. But it's not just Myanmar that's seething over our government's rhetoric. Pakistan expectedly didn't take too kindly to Rathore's statements that barely concealed which nation India could target next. Pakistani Interior Minister Nisar Khan said that it should be clear to India that "Pakistan is not a country like Myanmar". "Those having ill designs against Pakistan should listen carefully that our security forces are capable of matching response to any adventurism," he said. Pakistan would never accept India hegemony and that the "Indian leaders should stop day dreaming", Khan said, adding that they would not be cowed down by threats. The resultant diplomatic furore has led to further backpedalling with the Modi government telling its officials to tone it down. According to the Times of India, "Sources said although the Modi government had responded to provocations from Pakistan by using disproportionate force, it does not want to create an impression that it is spoiling for a confrontation." The Indian Army's no stranger to covert operations across borders and has in the past crossed the border in Myanmar to strike at Indian militant groups camped there. As this DNA report points out, in January 2006, the Indian Army attacked the same militant group in Myanmar after striking a deal for arms supply to the Myanmar Army. But none of these operations were ever tom-tommed in public by the government. The Modi sarkar in hot pursuit of publicity may have complicated further such operations. According to the Telegraph, the Indian ambassador to Myanmar spent most of yesterday in a series of meetings with Myanmar officials: "By late evening, an official said, Mukhopadhyay had been told by the Myanmarese authorities they were unhappy with the 'way the operation had been presented'." Simply decoded, it means that if the Indian Army wants to go into Myanmar the next time round, it may not get a warm welcome from the Myanmar Army. The bottomline is that the government was tempted of portraying the Myanmar strike as a Osama-like helicopters carrying special forces deep into another nation's territory to punish terrorists, without the full knowledge or cooperation of the local government and without a single military loss of life. The desire to paint a Modi-led India into a take-no-prisoners nation that acts unilaterally and without apology undermined what was, in essence, a sound military operation. As Firstpost's R Jagannathan pointed out, the operation is just the first in what is likely a long-term strategy which may well be hugely effective in combatting terrorism. But to turn one strike into a chest-thumping PR exercise is "unwarranted and counter-productive." FIRBHI JHUTH kaa KAROBAAR Harikatha Anant |

Myanmar operation fallout: Pakistan should clean up its mess before warning India
Pakistan has warned India not to embark upon any "misadventure" by launching a Myanmar-type military operation against terror outfits on its soil. Speaking to The Times of India, Pakistan interior minister Nisar Ali Khan said, "Pakistan is not Myanmar, and India should not think of repeating such an exercise inside Pakistani territory." The remark came a day after the Indian Army launched an attack on militants taking shelter in Myanmar.
While Pakistan issued a warning, it also, at the same time, upped its ante and both its civilian and military leaderships are now blaming India for everything wrong happening on its soil.

But the truth is starkly different. It is not a secret that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government has failed to keep any of the promises it made at the time of taking over charge two years ago.
Forget the power outages (which are as widespread as ever) and the untamed inflation. The Sharif government's track record in taming terror is abysmal. There is no let up in terrorist violence and terror groups are flourishing as always.
The Generals who now run Pakistan have not had much success either. After terrorists captured soldiers, beheaded them, posted the gory pictures on the net and played football with their severed heads, General Raheel Sharif said enough was enough and said he won't let even one terrorist survive.
The General first launched a massive military campaign in the tribal areas, demolished towns and villages in the process, killed several hundreds and drove, a million or so innocent men, women and children out of their homes. But did the terrorists disappear? Not even General Sharif can confidently admit to that.
Yes, the Army propaganda machine has been relaying regularly that hundreds of militants have been killed in the military campaign which has continued now for almost a year. Does it take a professional army to clear a few strongholds of militancy a year?
The reality on the ground is telling. The no-go areas controlled by the militants remain intact; in fact new terrorist groups like Islamic State are steadily taking over from the local militant groups. The army, after a year of bombing townships and villages, mountaintops and valleys, cannot declare victory. It cannot, and has not, said that it has been able to clear the area of militants.
The militant groups, though on the back-foot, are quite active in the areas they dominate. The Pakistan merely stands outside this no-go area. Even General Sharif has not been able to make inroads into this area.
However, it is hardly the fault of Pakistani army. It is not that the military is not capable of making inroads, it perhaps is. But the problem is with Pakistan's policy of categorising terrorist groups as 'good and bad' terrorists.
Now, these 'good and bad' terrorists are brothers in arms and organically difficult to separate. So even if one or two of them are targeted and contained, others remain intact to carry on with the terrorist campaign. The terrorists do not make any such distinction—an enemy is an enemy even if it is a friend to some of them.
The Generals do not want to give up the patronage they shower on some of them since these groups are useful in troubling India and even the US. The problem with both -- the Generals and the civilian leadership -- is that no one believes their stories today. There was a time when they world capitals would pay attention when Pakistan spoke but that was long before 9/11 and much before it became an open secret that Pakistan Army was perhaps one of the biggest sponsors of terrorism in the world today.

In fact, Washington is acutely aware of the fact that at least a few hundred American soldiers have been killed in attacks carried out by terrorist groups with direct or indirect links to the Pakistan Army. And who could forget the fact that it was Pakistan Army which sheltered al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden all those years.
It was the same Pakistan which kept, and continues to do so, the Afghan Taliban armed and secure to take on the US troops deployed in Afghanistan. Without the Pakistan Army support, the Afghan Taliban would have been defeated long ago, giving the US a clear victory in one of the major battles of the century.
The Pakistan Army's duplicity denied the US its rightful victory in Afghanistan. In fact, the US lost much more than face in Afghanistan: it lost billions of dollars and several thousand lives of its soldiers, most of which could have been avoided if Pakistan and its army had collaborated like a true ally.
Pakistan in fact played Brutus, forcing the US to taste a major defeat after over 10 years of commitment of blood, sweat and dollars in Afghanistan.
So when the leaders who come calling to Washington open files containing manufactured evidence of Indian involvement in creating violence in Pakistan, it would be useful to send them to some of the well-kept libraries in Washington where there are enough documented materials about Pakistan's complicity with terrorist groups which considered the US their Enemy Number one.
An enemy's friend cannot be a friend. Washington is acutely aware of this and should therefore tell Pakistani leadership to go back and fix their problem at home. They should either give up supporting terrorist groups or stop blaming India for their own collusion with terrorist groups.
