Pakistani soldiers are now set on self destruction course. They have fired at Indian posts along the highly militarized frontier along the LINE OF CONTROL in Kashmir for a second consecutive night, the Indian military as tensions flared.
Pakistan may be a nuclear-armed country but is no match against India which is now ready to call its bluff. Pakistan is going to regret the deadly attack on tourists in India last week by Pak controlled terror group.
The terror eco system is now going to be eradicated no matter what. The massacre, in which gunmen killed 26 Indians and one Nepali, most of them tourists, is a pure “terror attack” and carried out by Pakistan sponsored terrorists.
Pakistan denies the charge but now it is going to be of no use. The assault, near the resort town of Pahalgam in Kashmir, was claimed by a previously unknown militant group calling itself the Kashmir Resistance Force.
It was the worst terror assault in Kashmir targeting civilians in years. In the days since, tensions have risen dangerously between India and Pakistan, which have fought four wars.
One third of Kashmir region is under illegal occupation of Pakistan and is called Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Now time has come for India to liberate POK.
The Indian army said Saturday that soldiers from multiple Pakistani army posts overnight opened fire at Indian troops “all across the Line of Control” in Kashmir.
“Indian troops responded appropriately with small arms,” the statement said. There were no casualties reported, the statement added. Though there are reports to suggest that India responded with a heavy artillery fire assault.
There was no comment from Pakistan, and the incidents could not be independently verified. In the past, each side has accused the other of starting skirmishes in the region.
Markets and bazaars were open in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir on Saturday, and there was no sign of evacuations from villages near the Line of Control.
Tit-for-tat measures and a spike in tensions
After the tourist attack, India suspended a crucial water-sharing treaty and closed the only functional land border crossing. It revoked visas issued to Pakistanis with effect from Sunday.
Pakistan retaliated by cancelling visas issued to Indians, closing its airspace to Indian airlines, and suspending trade with its neighbor. Nationals from both sides began heading to their home countries through the Attari border near Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore on Friday.
A sacred Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in order to bolster his own courage on Saturday vowed the government would respond “with full force and might” to Indian attempts to stop or divert the flow of water…..this has already been done by India with respect to three Eastern rivers.
He also said Pakistan was open to participating in any “neutral, transparent and credible investigation” into the tourist attack…..this kind of gimmick is not going to work anymore.
On Saturday, a Pakistani official from the disaster management agency, Saeed Qureshi, accused India of suddenly releasing large amounts of water into the Jhelum River, raising fears of flooding in parts of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
Authorities told residents living along the riverbank to evacuate, Qureshi said. A spokesman for India’s External Affairs Ministry was not immediately available for comment.
New Delhi describes all terrorism in Kashmir as Pakistan-backed terrorism, a charge Pakistan rejects. These terrorists have been carrying out their dastardly acts against India since 1989 for gaining control of Kashmir.
With tensions high, Iran offered mediation, while U.S. President Donald Trump said he expected them to work out their differences.
“Tehran stands ready to use its good offices in Islamabad and New Delhi to forge greater understanding at this difficult time,” Iranian Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Araghchi said on Friday.”
India and Pakistan are brotherly neighbors of Iran. Like other neighbors, we consider them our foremost priority,” Araghchi wrote in a social media post.
Trump on Friday said “there’s great tension between Pakistan and India, but there always has been.”Trump, who spoke on board Air Force One, did not answer when asked by reporters whether he would contact leaders of the two countries, but said “they’ll get it figured out one way or the other.”
The U.S. has long called for calm between India and Pakistan, and mediated during a major Kargil war in 1999.U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard expressed solidarity with India in its hunt for the perpetrators of the recent attack.
India intensifies its terrorist hunting in Kashmir
After Tuesday’s assault, Indian forces intensified the terror hunt in the Kashmir Valley. They detained and questioned at least 1,500 people, three police officials said.
Troops detonated explosives in the family homes of at least three confirmed terrorists in southern Kashmir Friday night, residents said.
In one such incident, dozens of other houses also suffered damage, with their windowpanes shattering and walls cracking due to the impact of the blast.
Early Friday, troops also destroyed the family homes of two confirmed terrorists as they were involved in Tuesday’s attack.
