@Abdul Kadir - Most probably that is what triggers cross border firing. How can you expect BSF to sliently watch someone crossing in. But when that happens, rangers too respond and term it as ceasefire violation. Unfortunately, civilian lives are being lost.

Cross-border attacks will continue to happen and civilian population continue to die unless better sense prevails between rangers and BSF. They should demonstrate loylty to their people on both sides of the border and stop firing or shelling resulting int the deaths of civilians.

@Riaz for your information, india is a democracy but it doesn't allow secession, so even if people wants it can't disintegrate with us. And same lies for you why don't you give the same right to baloch and your side of kashmir first. And let assume if kashmir wants to go with India so will you leave your part of kashmir, I don't think so. hope you know the problems in detail.

It's nothing more than Modi thumping his chest after recent Obama visit. To show this, he shells poor people's houses across the border. Other reason for these impromptu shellings, India is not happy their proxy TTP is being firmly pushed out of Pakistan and back into Afghanistan.

You seem to be quiet naive, right of "Self Determination will be for all Kashmiris. Though there is not a single opponent in Azad Kashmir.

@Srikant These people are anarchists and need to be treated as such,This plea of self determination is only a cloaked bid to have a" free for all" country where religious bigots, landlords,the "HAVES' will rein.
