Pakistan on Wednesday rejected Indian allegation of its soldiers violating the ceasefire protocol along the Line of Control (LoC), as New Delhi summoned the Pakistani envoy in India to lodge a formal protest over what it called a “provocative” attack, one that could call for action “beyond the procedures”.
India has accused Pakistani soldiers of crossing the LoC, killing two of its soldiers and injuring another.
Military sources on Wednesday said the Pakistani Director General Military Operations (DGMO) had talked to his Indian counterpart over hotline and rejected Indian Army’s allegations.
The Indian authorities were informed that Pakistan had carried out ground verification and checked and found that nothing of this sort happened as being alleged by the Indian Army. The Indian DGMO was told that it was mere propaganda by the Indian Army and officials concerned.
On Sunday, Indian troops raided a Pakistani post and killed soldier Naik Aslam. Sources said the Indians had launched the propaganda to divert global attention from its brazen raid and had in return accused Pakistan of violating the LoC.
India on Wednesday said that it would “convey its protest” to Pakistan over the brutal killing of two Indian soldiers in Jammu and Kashmir by Pakistani troops.
“We will convey our protest to the Pakistan government and our Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) will talk to his counterpart in Pakistan,” Defence Minister AK Antony said.
Antony said the attack was highly provocative and “we are closely monitoring the situation”.
“The way they have treated the body of Indian soldiers, it is inhuman,” he said.
ENVOY SUMMONED: The Indian External Affairs Ministry also summoned Pakistani High Commissioner Salman Bashir.
“We will take this up very firmly with the Pakistan government,” External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid told the Indian media.
He said the killing and mutilation of bodies of Indian soldiers was “an extremely sensitive matter” and “a matter of great concern to everyone”.
“These are matters on which every dimension has to be examined very carefully before we say what we propose to do,” he said.
The killings have made India warn that its response “may have to go beyond the procedures”.
Indian officials said Pakistani soldiers, said to be from the Baloch regiment, sneaked into Indian-held Kashmir under the cover of thick fog and killed two Indian soldiers and wounded a third.
India’s chief military spokesman alleged one of the soldiers had been beheaded by Pakistani troops, who carried away his head.
PAKISTAN CALLS FOR UN PROBE: Denying Indian allegations, Pakistan on Wednesday called on United Nations Military Observers to investigate the incident.
“Pakistan is prepared to hold investigations through the United Nations Military Observer Group for India and Pakistan on the recent ceasefire violations on the Line of Control,” the Foreign Ministry said.
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar told Indian channel CNN-IBN that Islamabad was “a bit appalled at some statements” from India and that she was “saddened”.
Khar said a Pakistani soldier had been “brutally murdered because of Indian firing” but denied that Pakistan operated a policy of “tit for tat”.
She said allegations of ceasefire violations had to be dealt with responsibly and offered to ask the UN military observers to investigate.
The General do no need govt. permission to fire at Indians but they need permission to shoot the drone..can someone explain this logic…
because if pakistani army shoots an american drone what will pakistani citizens eat?
India we can fight. America we can't.
and always lost
Just think about it. Pakistan does not receive any foreign direct invetsment, MNC banks are shutting down and leaving, No local auto industry or IT sector or export sector or education sector or even a film industry for that matter. Forbes 1000 Billionaires List does not have any Pakistani name. Rich people anyways live outside Pakistan. Middle Class people are seeking immigration or live in GCC countries. Pakistan needs IMF bail out. Army kills their own with a US drone.
Look around, you are losing already and that too without a fight!
Still want a fight?
hitting a drone is out of the question
Its simple. Every dog knows it.
Never Bite The Hand That Feeds You !!!
India is reeling from the fall out following the rape and death of that young lady in Delhi. The public unrest is terrifying the Indian government. creating a situation with Pakistan is a way to take the focus off the incident and make the Indian government look competent.
Wave the flag, create a few martyrs and beat the drums of war
Pakistan denied OBL presence as well. So this denial is nothing new. But this seems like a deliberate attempt by Pakistan. It helps Pak Army ask for more funds from US citing inability to focus on the western front bcoz of possible conflict with India. It also helps all Pak political parties as they can rally people around India issue rather than focus on domestic issues.
Receiving mutilated bodies of soldiers is one of terrible events for any army and it somehow shows the cowardice of enemy.Pakistani production talibans are expert of this kind of humiliation as their training is based on extreme hatred for enemy.They do same to even Pakistani soldiers too,.But no body knows how much Col purhaat is still left in Indian army.So general public cant be sure about it unless a proper inquiry with joint efforts of both armies should be conducted to reach to real culprits.
common friends we Indians dont need anyreason to fight with others.though we have several rich people big enterprises,multi billion companies etc etc but we still need to rectify our own mistakes like un-employment,poor public,low grade politicians etc.fighting with others will only help our status go down.it will be bettre manmohan singh if you put a bit more attention towards our internal problems.allah rahem kare jai hind jai bharat
