WITH each passing day Indian belligerence towards its neighbours especially Pakistan is reaching new levels. In what could be called a cowardly act in utter disregard to all international obligations and human rights, Indian troops the other day resorted to unprovoked firing on the line of control targeting civilian population with all sorts of weapons. This resulted in the martyrdom of four civilians and injuries to a dozen others. In response to this provocative act, Pakistan Army gave a befitting reply to the Indian army inflicting substantial losses both men and material losses to the enemy.
These frequent ceasefire violations on the Line of Control by India and its targeting of civilian population have become a norm under Modi junta. India committed 2660 ceasefire violations this year to date, which resulted in the martyrdom of twenty people and serious injuries to 203 innocent civilians. Our troops always act with utmost restraint but as is expected from them they never falter on their responsibilities to protect the motherland and the Kashmiri brothers and sisters from any Indian provocation. The way our troops forced the enemy to bite the dust the other day is sufficient proof they are always prepared and fully equipped to respond to any misadventure. This hostility of India towards Pakistan has given it nothing but embarrassment as our forces have always inflicted a serious blow to the Indian troops. Anyway, the senseless Indian acts pose a serious threat to peace and stability of an already volatile region. Any conflict between two nuclear armed neighbours will have serious consequences for the region and the world at large. Hence, responsibility rests with the international community especially the important capitals to come forward and force New Delhi to shun the path of hostility. Resolution of lingering Kashmir dispute is a must to take the matters towards normalization. The prevailing situation in occupied Jammu and Kashmir must ring alarm bells in the capitals which claim to be flag bearers of human rights. Whilst the UN accepts the right of self determination of Kashmiri people, the world body will have to ensure and play its part that the Kashmiris exercise this right through the plebiscite as enshrined in the Security Council resolutions.
