Pune: The government was "examining all pros and cons of various aspects" of deploying the Army against Naxals, said Defence Minister A K Antony on Monday.
"We are carefully examining all pros and cons of various aspects and once a decision is made, it will be binding on the military," said Antony after attending the passing out parade of 118th course of the National Defence Academy at Khadakwasla.
"The armed forces will also accept whatever decision government takes" and implement it with vigour.”
Antony denied that the Union cabinet was split over how to combat Naxal violence and said the government was sharply watching the "emerging scenario".
"Wars in future will be unpredictably dispersed and largely undefined and the distinction between conventional and unconventional military operations will be blurred," Antony said while addressing the cadets.
