Indian Army Chief Defends India’s Right to Siachen


The Chief of Indian Army Gen. J.J. Singh Friday defended the country's right to send trekkers to Siachen in a clear response to Pakistan's objections to such expeditions. General Singh told reporters in Kolkata that Indians were well within their rights to send trekkers to Siachen and that they were actively encouraging tourists to go on mountaineering expeditions to the glacial heights.
