Indian BSF fires at LoC on Eid day: ISPR
95
ISLAMABAD: Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) resorted to firing along with the Line of Control (LoC) at Jammu and Kashmir sector on Saturday morning, the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
The incident was reported on the first day of Eidul Fitr at Neza Pir sector. However no casualties have been reported so far.
|
Director General ISPR Major-General Asim Bajwa in a tweet said, “Indians fire across LoC at Nezapir again. Pattern shows they resort to such violations every festive occasion. Ironic they violate and also accuse.”
The recent spree of firing at LoC has been started earlier this week. Pakistan claimed that three people were killed and five others injured in Sialkot's Chaprar sector, whereas another person was killed in firing across the LoC in Rawalakot's Neza Pir sector in separate instances of unprovoked firing by Indian BSF personnel.

Both Pakistan and India had accused each other of ceasefire violations.
Indian Border Security Force (BSF) had also claimed that Pakistani troops fired heavy mortar shells on Wednesday, adding that one woman was killed and three civilians injured when one of the shells exploded near a border village.

It looks like, indian forces are asserting their illegal right on Kashmir, by contineously firing on LOC, killing innocent pakistani civilians. May be they think pal forces are bussy fighting terrorists, so they can get away with LOC firing. Indians seem to forget that they cannot digest their illegal occupation of Kashmir, no matter how hard they suppress Kashmiri people, eventually, Kashmiris would opt to join Pakistan. On this Eid Day all pakistanis pray for well being of Kashmiris, our hearts beat together, and Pakistanis would not rest untill Kashmiris are free from indians illegal occupation.

Three days ago PAK army said that they had shoot down Indian spy drone at the LOC and later on ,the Pakistani government summoned the Indian high commissioner for this issue . On the same day Indian army and the civil government had denied the charges, saying that it is Chinese made drone and India does not buy drone from china , fortunately today Chinese media has confirmed that it is Chinese drone..... As for as the issue of cease fire violation is concerned across the line of control it is your army , who first violate the cease fire and then run to the UN so that it can be shown to the world that India is violating the cease fire on Eid day..These two incidents show , how the pak army and the isi can make fool of their civil government and people of Pakistan but not India and the world.

If it is religion, then there are Muslim minorities in many nations and fight for them. If it is human right, then fight for Tibet, whose culture and rights are being destroyed by China.

Pakistan should table the proposition to appoint neutral observation of the LoC, which would bring to light which side fired first (when this would happen in the future). This might act as a deterrent to the 'evil' of the two sides, whichever it is.
