ISLAMABAD: One person was injured on Monday in Rawalakot’s Battal sector after shots were reportedly fired by Indian soldiers, DawnNews reported.
Earlier today, Pakistan had demanded of India to abide by the ceasefire agreement between the countries with regard to Kashmir.
Pakistan had made the demand during a flag meeting held between the Pakistani and Indian army commanders at the Line of Control (LoC).
The Pakistani army brigadier in Poonch sector also participated in the meeting which was held to discuss the recent violations of the ceasefire agreement.
During the meeting, the Pakistani commanders rejected the allegations levelled against them by their Indian counterparts.
The Indian commanders accused their Pakistani counterparts for firing across the border, while the latter registered their own protest against Indian violations of the ceasefire at the LoC, military sources told DawnNews.
Also during the meeting, the Pakistani army demanded that India must comply with the ceasefire agreement.
Earlier on Monday, the Indian Army chief, General Bikram Singh, had threatened aggressive action against any provocation by the Pakistani army.
“The attack on January 8 was premeditated, a pre-planned activity. Such an operation requires planning, detailed reconnaissance,” General Singh told a news conference in New Delhi.
“I expect all my commanders at the Line of Control to be both aggressive and offensive in the face of provocation and fire,” he added.
Pakistan had also proposed a third party probe into the ceasefire violations recently but India had rejected the proposal saying it did not wish to “internationalise” the issue.
I do hope the arranged cricket matches go ahead — a lot of talent on both sides and will give encouragement to the youngsters.
I think it was something silly which provoked this ‘ fight’. Both parties are mature enough not to start this first. We should ‘talk’ it out rather than calling some third party to ‘ investigage’.
pakistan has nothing to say other than demanding third party intervention and deny whatever they do.
Only the culprit and guilty refuses the open and nonpartisan investigations. Nevertheless, both sides should show some sanity and keep the peace and calm for the betterment of masses on both sides of the border.
Pakistan Army busy safe guarding ideological boundaries of Pakistan, therefore they do not have time and resources to protect people and geographical borders. By the way, is it not true that ideological borders of Pakistan are same as TTP’s ideology?
Why do you need an international certificate when the parties know who has done what.
I think beheading of Indian soldier was done by Indian Army only to escalate tension. Now they are killing Pakistani soldiers as well.
u people love fantasy and always in denial mode….!!!
I completly agree.
Everybody is not like Pakistan army, which disowned its soldier during the Kargil conflict.
Only corrupt mind can say this
somebody tell me which country is known as land of conspiracy theories
Why is India refusing International probe, what they have got to hide ?
nothing but your leaders have signed that any issue between two country will be resolved without any third party intervention.
Go and read the Shimla agreement.
It was India who took the kashmir issue to UN, pl get your facts.
Extra Ordinary situations require extra Ordinary measures
Very good question. India has effectively refused international probe under UN.
None of our indian friends have commented on this point.
I argue you to heed to Shimla agreement.
Ghalib, UN has banned LeT after Mumbai terror attacks, while it continues to flourish in Pakistan So what is the point ? Pakistan seeks to buy time, seek probes, ask for more evidence and than deny evidence. Couple of years pass by. There are several ways of wriggling out of UN probe, if at all it happens.
Peace ,,thats all people want from both side
Really….why is history pointing a finger at Pakistan then….
quite cheeky! How broke up whom?
PEACE. One size fits all.
Time to teach a lesson , Enough is Enough.
Easy to say that while sitting in the comfort of your home.
Yes Indians need to be taught a lesson
Why dont India wants a third part to find what happend?———Maybee they already know the trouth but for old sake,,,,,,,just blame Pakistan,,,,,
For the same reason why Pakistan wants to do it. Pakistan stands to benefit by making it an international issue which for obvious reasons India wont be doing it. So, the problem still prevails. Everybody understands the problem in his own way and wants to solve the problem in their own way. Please think over it. How do you solve your problems in your homes by calling your neighbours?? Neighbours at best will break your home. India-Pakistan relations are like two brothers gone separated, but they can still be brothers if their people wants to.
brothers don’t kill each other and make wars, we r the biggest enemies of each other not brothers.
this the difference between pak and Indian mindset,
thanks to pak education of its history..
my dear friend, it is always good to solve issue between both countries, than getting third one involved. each and every common man knows about it. Other wise it shows the immaturity of both countries.
I dont agree. Both the countries can’t solve this issue as both are blaming each other for the same thing. I say let the international body probe it.
time for action if talk fails…
what action? War is not cheap affair?
Nations go back atleast 10-20 years. Limited response is the correct option.
I am an indian and i agree with you. war dont solve any thing. If you see history 50 years before whole europe was fighting with each other and today they end up leaving in harmony. now they are EUROPEAN UNION. its working in their favour.
Go ahead… there will be reaction
I bet Majid will be personally in charge of action. Good luck to you.
ofcourse there will be a reaction, what do you take us for, sacrifices will have to be made, do you want to live forever, in the end we all die.
India will never go in a war against Pakistan, they have way more to loose for example their economy is booming right now. They won’t risk it and Pakistan is already fighting its internal wars, businesses and economy is at halt.
India will also never wage a war with Pakistan as there is nothing in Pakistan that India covets.
True, but keep in mind that these incidents are hurting investments and India is fast loosing more with these incidents.
Both countries can not afford a war and better be a friends of families ties than fighting over split milk.
action doesn’t mean…war… it could be retaliation hard or tough posture…
Nothing can be achieved by war,some have realized,this and some will realize later…
Lets see!
As if this will bring lasting peace to the region…wake up and read some history…
we are ready
good, so are we.
