Pak started it as usual. These ISI sponsored stories are written to detract from bigger domestic issues and manipulate public opinion.

I guess Pakistani flag being waved in Kashmir didn't go down too well with India . India is trying it's best to draw Pakistan into some sort of border conflict that would flare up into a full fledged war . That isn't happening too soon. By the way, what *is* the name of Indian Army COAS . I never bothered finding out !

@rehan You will never know COAS as he is not considered God in our country. We give importance to people who are chosen by people , not imposed on people.
