Army Chief Gen V K Singh today said, India has no Cold Start doctrine as claimed in the secret American documents. He dismissed the US perception about the Indian Army being slow and lumbering. Gen Singh was reacting to Wikileak documents in which US Ambassador Timothy Roemer analyses India's military approach towards Pakistan in the wake of 26/11 attacks. He said the Indian army has things in place and it will be able to exercise the contingency when the time comes. Asked about the slow process of modernisation of the Armed forces, Gen Singh explained that it is mainly due to procedures and the fact that authorities want to be cautious to ensure nothing goes wrong.
