#1 Mooshahary angrily rebutted the charge that the BSF was a 'soft' force, saying it had to behave 'responsibly.'

Some older 105 mm artillery pieces were transferred from the Army to the BSF recently, making it one of the few Border Patrol forces anywhere with such firepower. It has its own aviation units.
Yet Bangladesh Rifles forces kill BSF officers at will. The political will to act is missing.

The Indian BSF is being restrained by the Indian Government which is very reluctant to use force.
India's smaller neighbors are quite touching about the overwhelming firepower that could be brought to bear.
