Pakistan Army on Tuesday rubbished Indian claims of destroying a Pakistani post along the Line of Control (LoC).

"Indian claims of destroying Pakistani post along LoC in Naushera Sec and firing by Pakistan Army on civilians across LoC are false," said DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor on Twitter.

According to Indian media reports, the Indian army on Tuesday launched massive fire assaults and destroyed several Pakistani posts across the LoC that were aiding in infiltration.

"As part of our counter terrorism strategy and to ensure that infiltration is curbed and initiative remains with us, the Indian Army proactively dominates the LoC," The Hindu quoted India's Major General A K Narula, Additional Director General, Public Information as saying.

On the contrary, the military’s media wing added, Indian army had resorted to unprovoked ceasefire violation on May 13, which resulted in civilian casualties and damages to civil infrastructure.

“A befitting and stern response was mounted on Indian posts causing substantial losses to military men and material,” it said.

JHJ | 7 years ago | Reply @Amit: Everybody knows what happened with Indians in Kargil. Pakistani never ever use the word Kasab with their namei. soon you’ll see where the ICJ verdict (with Yadev) has gone.

IS | 7 years ago | Reply Oh pls, the same way you rubbished the dawn leak notification. can't trust you

Amit | 7 years ago | Reply Its the same Pakistan Army which said that Kargil has no role of Pakistan Army and they ate their words. It is the same Pakistani establishment which said Ajmal Kassab is not Pakistani and then they ate their words. It is the same Pakistani nation that said ICJ has no jurisdiction on Yadev's case, and were humiliated to accept ICJ jurisdiction. And NOW, it is the same Pakistani army refuting the Indian claims backed by Videography. Do we believe them anymore?

Prada | 7 years ago | Reply Looks like India can do anything and get away with it. Looks like the tasking of defending has been outsourced.

SHJ | 7 years ago | Reply No one asked you to accept the claim. Footage has been released for information and will continue unabated. This is a routine affair and no one is over the moon here in India.

LOL | 7 years ago | Reply another indian major about to get medal for fake attack. meanwhile the poor indian soldiers are dying of hunger.

PrakashG | 7 years ago | Reply “Indian claims of destroying Pakistani post along LoC in Naushera Sec and firing by Pakistan Army on civilians across LoC are false,” Good if it is so; although it would rather take a stretch of imagination to think that Pakistani army tells the whole truth in their tweets.
