Navy rubbishes Pak claim of stopping submarine entering territorial water

New Delhi : Rubbishing Pakistan Navy’s claim that it had prevented an Indian submarine from entering its territorial water, the Indian Navy dubbed it as ‘lie’.

Indian Navy spokesperson Captain D K Sharma on Friday denied the Pakistani Navy’s claim and termed it as blatant lies.

Sharma further added that the Indian Navy did not have any under water movement recently.

It may be mentioned here that a statement issued by Pakistani Navy had claimed it has proved vigilance by detecting and blocking an Indian submarine from entering Pakistani waters.

The Pakistani statement said, "The unsuspecting submarine was detected and localised south of Pakistani coast on November 16. Thereafter, despite submarine's desperate efforts to escape detection, it was continuously tracked by Pakistan Navy Fleet units and pushed clear of our waters."

However, Pakistan Army's Chief Gen Raheel Sharif had on Wednesday claimed that his men killed 11 Indian soldiers in cross border firing across the Line of Control (LoC) and this statement too was denied by the Indian Army.
