NEW DELHI: India was working to secure the release of a soldier held in Pakistan but it will take "some days", the defence minister said Sunday, following a dramatic spike in tensions between the archrivals.
India says the soldier was captured Thursday after he "inadvertently" crossed over into the Pakistani side of the Line of Control (LoC).
On Saturday, while answering a question, DG ISPR Gen Asim Bajwa had said that inadvertent crossing of the LoC was a routine matter and if any such case was found, it would be treated in accordance with the standing order procedures (SOP).
Ma**har Parrikar said the capture did **t relate to the Indian military´s alleged surgical strikes.
"He had crossed over, which happens in border areas. There is a well established mechanism through DGMO (Director General of Military Operations) which has been activated," the minister said, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
"Since the situation is tense right **w, it will take some days to bring the soldier back."
