Shameless Pakistanis have nothing else to do other than killing Indians in unprovoked firing. The only thing in which they think they can beat India is violence. I hope it is revenged.

What a waste of precious lives on both sides. The public sentiment needs to change to help resolve this lingering issue. I wish the Indian public will change their sentiment as the current sentiment is hostile for the sake of peace and prosperity. To the public: If you are so hostile, try to join the army and be stationed on the border please.
