Governor's rule not to affect anti-terror operations: Army chief
New Delhi, June 20 : The imposition of governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir will not affect anti-terror operations, Army chief General Bipin Rawat said on Wednesday and noted that there was no political interference.
"We only stopped our operations during Ramzan. But we saw what happened. The terrorists continued with their actions," General Rawat said on the sidelines of an event here.
"The imposition of Governor's rule will not affect our operations. Our operations will go on like they used to. We don't face any political interference," he said.
Governor's rule has been imposed in Jammu and Kashmir following recommendation of Governor N.N. Vohra. The BJP had on Tuesday pulled out of the alliance government in the state with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Centre had earlier this month decided not to extend its unilateral initiative, declared on May 16, to coincide with the holy month as terrorist activities continued in the Kashmir Valley.
BJP's withdrawal from the alliance came two days after the government decided against extending the ceasefire.
The party had cited citing growing terror activities and radicalisation in the Kashmir Valley as among reasons for its decision.

Trump threatens China with 50% tariffs if it sends arms to Iran
Washington (AP): The US president said his threat to impose 50% tariffs on goods from countries that sold weapons to Iran was aimed at China.
Trump told Fox News' “Sunday Morning Futures” that has heard reports of China giving anti-aircraft “shoulder missiles” to Iran. He played down the possibility of China supplying weapons to Iran, but said their goods would be taxed if they did.
“I doubt they would do that, because I have a relationship, and I think they wouldn't do that, but maybe they did a little bit at the beginning,” Trump said. “But if we catch them doing that, they get a 50% tariff.”
