Manohar Parrikar: Maintain stand on 'Pakistan terror boat'

Defence minister Manohar Parrikar said the government stood by its record of events and would consider taking disciplinary action against coast guard DIG Loshali. At the time of the incident, the Indian coast guard said it chased the Pakistani boat off India's western coast for almost an hour and it fired warning shots before it stopped. The coast guard then said the crew hid below deck and set the boat on fire, which caused an explosion. Earlier, the deputy inspector general of the Indian coast guard, is shown in a video released by the Indian Express newspaper saying he gave an order to attack the boat as it approached Indian waters last New Year's Eve.
