The House denounced unprovoked Indian firing and aggression in the Bhimber sector that resulted in the casualties and paid tribute to the fallen soldiers. The resolution was tabled by federal minister Barjees Tahir.
On Wednesday, Army chief General Raheel Sharif said 11 Indian servicemen were also killed in retaliatory fire on the LoC after the latter killed seven Pakistani troops on the de facto border on November 14. He said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi must have fully realised by now what Pakistan’s armed forces were capable of and that aggression is counterproductive.
Modi has learnt what Pakistan is capable of: army chief
On November 10, Pakistan summoned India’s high commissioner to record a strong protest over the continued ‘unprovoked’ firing and ceasefire violations by the forces along the Line of Control and Working Boundary. At least 26 civilians have been killed and 107 wounded in the last two months due to the Indian forces firing, said a statement issued by the Foreign Office.
Frequent incidents of cross-border fire have been witnessed since a heightened situation in occupied Kashmir. More than 100 protesters have lost their lives to the security forces in the valley while dozens blinded by use of pellet guns.
7 soldiers martyred in India’s deadliest provocation
The two countries have been at loggerheads since the killing of a populist rebel leader Burhan Wani by the occupied forces in the valley on July 8.
India also accuses Pakistan of being involved in an attack on an army base in Uri on September 18, in which 19 Indian soldiers were killed. Islamabad has denied the charge, which Delhi leveled without any substantial investigation or evidence.
