Pakistani army's role is "obvious" in the latest incident of intrusion by terrorists in Keran sector of Kashmir valley, official sources said today but rejected any comparison with the Kargil episode.

The incident has been exaggerated a lot by calling them another 'Kargil', official sources said terming such a propaganda "a fit case of dog chasing its tail".

A massive infiltration bid by terrorists backed by suspected Pakistani special forces, the biggest after the 1999 Kargil incident, was foiled by the Indian army which yesterday called off its 15-day-long major operation in Keran sector along the LoC in Kashmir.

Asked about the role of Pakistani Army in the incident, the sources said that it was obvious as "nothing like that can happen at the Line of Control without Pakistani Army being involved at least once. That is obvious. Otherwise, how did they come in, how did they enter.

"It was just an intrusion. But the issue got exaggerated a lot and some people went to the extent of calling it another Kargil. We must remember it was just an intrusion, which was effectively countered by our armed force," they said.
