| [DAWN] Indian army's Lieutenant General KH Singh on Monday warned "certain elements in Pakistain" of "unexpected damages" in the wake of repeated exchanges of fire between Indian and Pak border forces along the Line of Control and Working Boundary over the past week, according to a report on the NDTV website. Commander of the Nagrota-based Headquarters 16 Corps outside Jammu, Lt Gen KH Singh said, "There are certain elements across the border who want to create trouble on the Line of Control... we have to give them certain unexpected damage to so that they don't repeat it in future." He claimed that the Pak Army shelled and opened fired on Poonch sector villages in India-held Kashmire's Jammu region on Saturday as Eidul Fitr celebrations were underway because the Indian Army had 'stopped Lions of Islam from crossing the border' just a few days earlier. "One girl was killed on the Pakistain side ─ we regret the incident. The Mighty Pak Army also suffered major damages. They chose the Eid day to retaliate and targeted our civilian areas after Eid prayers," the Indian general said. Over the past week, at least four Paks were killed in three separate incidents of cross-border firing, and Pak troops had shot down a spy drone along the LoC. The Pakistain Army registered a complaint with United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... Military Observers group in India and Pakistain (UNMOGIP) against cease fire violations by the Indian Army along the LoC and Working Boundary, after which a fact-finding team visited Saleh Pur, Chaprar and Malane in Chaprar Sector near working boundary. A day after firing took place along the LoC on Eid, the Foreign Office lodged a strong protest with India over what it said was the "offensive posture" of Indian security forces and a provocative act against the spirit of the Ufa understanding. Foreign Office front man Qazi Khalilullah also said he regretted that the ceasefire violations by the Indian troops are being committed during the Eidul Fitr holidays as was done by them last year. |
