India summoned Pakistan's high commissioner to New Delhi to protest against Tuesday's killings, in which India's chief military spokesman said one of the soldiers had been beheaded by Pakistani troops who carried away his head.
Pakistan rejected what it called "baseless and unfounded allegations" but echoed calls of caution from India's foreign minister by saying both sides need to work hard to maintain a recent rapprochement following peace talks which were revived in 2011.
"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," said the foreign ministry in Islamabad.
A ceasefire has been in place since 2003 along the Line of Control in Kashmir that has divided the countries, but it is periodically violated by both sides.
Pakistan 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".
"I represent a government that has invested four years to build normalcy... an environment of trust to move forward to achieve regional peace and internal stability," she said in an interview in Islamabad.
Indian army sources suggested Tuesday's attack could be a retaliation for Sunday, when Islamabad said an unprovoked Indian attack on a border post killed one Pakistani soldier and wounded another.
Khar said the Pakistani soldier had been "brutally murdered because of Indian firing" but denied that Pakistan operated a policy of "tit for tat".
"We are a responsible country, a mature country, we must not all go back to having a go at each other," she told CNN-IBN.
She said allegations of ceasefire violations had to be dealt with responsibly and offered to ask the UN military observers to investigate.
"We can ask a third party to do investigation on this, you know that UN military observers exist, we can call them. We are promising a full inquiry," she said in the TV interview.
Her ministry said Pakistan was committed to the 2003 ceasefire and called for existing military mechanisms to be strengthened to guard against future violations.
"Pakistan is committed to a constructive, sustained and result-oriented process of engagement with India. We have made significant progress... It is important that both sides make serious efforts in maintaining this improvement and avoid negative propaganda," it said.
The Pakistani military also denied that its troops were responsible.
"Indian authorities were informed that Pakistan has carried out ground verification and checked and found nothing of this sort happened as being alleged by India," a military official told reporters.

So while Indian army is busy investigating into how the word on the killings was leaked out, Pakistan on its part is projecting the most daft of its leaders in Khar to suggest a UNMOGIP inquiry knowing too well that India doesn't recognize the agency since 1972. Every time there is some people to people exchange between the two countries, the politico brass feels threatened by the bubbling camaraderie and engages in such tactics. A house full of comic statements from two of the most ignorant actors. One, a soft nation, the other a failed state.
@Singh: Then come on and see/test your abilities because we are mentally prepared to check your war's abilities and never live in the past and never consider that Pakistan Armed Forces now are/shall be like 1971.Who is stopping/refraining you from doing so? You are most welcome because as far as your this stance is concerned that "Pakistan need big surgery before it learn how to behave. Nuke are dud for Pakistan. It could not used in Kargil war as it know, once it use even one there will be one less member in UN." then also surgical operation has been need of the hour for Indian troops to leave Kashmir....
@adeel qadri: Dear Sir ever thought as to why "as these days no body believes what pakistan says, even if its true, its easy for india to manipulate the facts…" Think and think hard the answer is very easy.Hope you got it. Regards
Pak Army's doctrine shift: the actual danger is from within not from outside.
A day later: Indian army's invasion in Kashmir and killing one soldier.
Two days later: Pak army invades Indian check post and kills two Indian soldiers to take revenge.
Is Pakistan Army correct??
Pakistan must carry out the same media management India is doing. Nobody is talking about first LoC violation by Indian troops...
@Pakistani in US:
"Don't India have enough problems and insurgencies in her borders to wish for another radical fundamentalist regime to deal with."
Its only a matter of time anyway, many people would think. This isn't meant to make Pakistan fall to the TTP. Just a very harsh punishment.
Even mobilisation for a very short period of time, say 6 months, is enough to the counter insurgency operations come back to naught. Don't play the game, if you don't like the rules, I say..
"if I was an Indian, I would side with Pakistan army in their fight against TTP."
I do too. Again, its meant to be punishment, not with the intention of making Pakistan fall.
"Just remember if Pakistan goes down, all the crazy elements from Afghanistan to Kashmir would spill into India. "
As if they are not encouraged now.. LeT, JeM will be replaced with TTP. Its in India's interest that Pakistan stays in a perpetual state of war with its own militants. If Pakistan dominates, it will give a push to the Kashmiri militants, if it loses, Taliban are on our borders, as you said.
I say, help the TTP now.. We can achieve 2 things: 1) Pakistan will behave in the future. It will think twice before violating the ceasefire line. 2) Get back at Pakistan for doing what it did.
@salaar:
Because she is a diplomat. Both India and pakistan are irresposible countries!
No nuclear armed countries behave the way they behave within and with each other! What stops Indian military to get out of Kasmir and let the Kashmiris go free to choose their own future? And what stops Pakistan military to retaliate with full force for the death of the soldier they lost.
Indian military will not give a second chance to Pakistan again.

@Singh:
you have a good point! Which member will disappear, you did not elaborate?

If they can play cricket with each other, why can't they jointly investigate the incident themselves, instead of going to Mr Moon.
@John B:
it's better you not comment on matters you have nothing to do with and have zero idea about; mind your own business - this is a bilateral affair and not something for you people to poke your nose into
@narasimha swamy:
and we wont trust the indians, who are known to say one thing and then stab in the back
@Aaditya: India is illegally occupying Kashmir valley which is 99% muslim, India has no business to be kashmir as it does not belong to the indian dravidians. Kashmir is pakistan´s land and pakistan will never give it up. the coward army of india cannot stand the Will of pakistan. There is only one solution to the problem and that is complete withdrawal of coward indian army from kashmir and handing over the governance of kashmir to pakistan, otherwise the battle will continue.
@Troll Terminator:
the indians already rejected the offer; meaning they know they should keep their beaks shut and just control the action of their coward soldiers - who fire first and then cry when we respond back in kind (and dont miss)
@Hemant:
what are you gonna do about it?
Since when has Pakistan become a responsible country and mature country? Pakistani Ministers must believe that if they keep repeating these words the world will believe them This is the same place where Malala was shot in the head, where Osama Bin Laden was kept hidden by the Army and ISI, where Shias are killed almost regularly, where polio vaccinators are killed and where Ahamadi Mosques are destroyed with police sanction. These are not features of a responsible and mature nation. Therefore I believe that Pakistani soldiers have beheaded the Indian soldier.
@gp65.: Excuses, excuses... we have seen the same routine in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Kashmir... our leaders may be stupid but the people are not.
@janaan: And there is plenty of video evidences from US soldiers to show who is doing what. Let your reason sink in. PAK army command structure is infested with Taliban sympathizers and they don't even know it or paralyzed to act against them.
@BruteForce What a naive suggestion. Don't India have enough problems and insurgencies in her borders to wish for another radical fundamentalist regime to deal with. Even if I was an Indian, I would side with Pakistan army in their fight against TTP. Just remember if Pakistan goes down, all the crazy elements from Afghanistan to Kashmir would spill into India. Then you would bite your own words. I wish you could get rid of your Indian bias and become a real rational person.
Now let's hope ET publish this. I always get shot down for some reason that I can never comprehend.
what allegations on Afghan side. to whom happened what on afghan side. please specify. it was the slaughter of 24 pakistani soldiers at the hands of their ALLY, the united states@John B:
Will anybody, Indian or Pakistani, actually come up with a solution to solve the border conditions that our soldiers face in Kashmir... the Line of Control is a ridiculous, extremely long, zig-zag, over-mountains-and-hills "line" that should either not exist or be rationalized. How about this for a radical suggestion: "rationalize" it. Meaning that take the existing "line", which is a crazy zig-zag line, and draw a more-or-less straight continuous line between it so that areas on either side are lost and gained but the total gain or loss is nil, with a shorter line. This new line could be on mountain peaks, or rivers, etc. Neither India or Pakistan would lose or gain any territory.. Easier to monitor, more lives saved...
About time the Indians got a taste of their medicine. Pakistan's proposal for UN investigation proves its bona fides, and if the Indians were not lying they would have accdepted this proposal.
Taliban and Pakistani work together, hand in hand. They are the same institution, exept that one has a beard, while the other has a mustache.
@SM: "@gp65.: What about Pakistani soldier killed just a day ago?
" Corss border firing appears to be routine on both sides. Indian side said they retaliated in response to provocation to firing on Pakistani side intneded to provide cover fire to jihadis trying to infiltrate India. These eipisodes have been going on for a while in what is clearly a war zone. But to actually cross the LOC and behead a soldier is a very severe escalation. I am surprised you are comparing the 2 things.
@Salman..Its not that easy my friend..If it would have been that easy to kill 3 times more Indian soldier than you would not have been cut to half.If it would have been that easy then 1948,1965,1971 and 1999 result would have been different and Kashmir would have been Pakistani state.Do'nt get carried away you are not talking about Afganistan or Maldives you are talking about India.
@Calypso: Lol! Maybe the Indian government doesn't do all that you mention that it should - viz. provide food, sanitation etc for all. But it does do one thing that maybe your government arms should try and do - thats is it doesn't send our children to some jihadi factory to carry out its agenda while they roam around in BMWs and acquire one prime real estate after another. And there are a few other things as well that they do - like they have a document called the Directive Principles of State Policy - that they try to follow. Can you show something similar in your case - since I am sure your government institutions are also following some directive principles? Maybe that document is too hot for it to be openly presented as your goverment's directive principles. Right?
These people are not part of the civilized world. It is inconceivableble that there will not be a response. Nobody can quarrel with these jaanwars getting their own medicine, Quite often, Indian Army responses are swift and brutal but are rarely publicized as the Pakistani Army does not want to admit that Indian soldiers have crossed the LOC. Gurkha soldiers are well known for severing Pakistani soldiers heads and putting them on trees. They are born killers and relish this work. Indians are not so innocent. Ask Pakistani soldiers at the border, if you get a chance.
the beheaded head of the brave indian soldier is yet to be found............pakistanis pray that the head should be found . no proud army can sleep with the knowledge that the head of its dead soldiers is missing....................DONT PLAY WITH THE HONOR OF THE ARMY.
india killed one of pak army soldeir so, pak army retaliated ... my advice... FIGHT LIKE A MAN NOT ANIMALS. SEVERING HEAD IS INHUMAN AND UNCIVILIAESD.
@Joker869: The day ITS brought on there wouldnt be an inch of land where you can hide your sorry backside; and thats a freaking promise!
the beheaded head of the brave indian soldier is yet to be found............pakistanis pray that the head should be found . no proud army can sleep with the knowledge that the head of its dead soldiers is missing......................
@Raj - USA: She is not the FM who formulates the PAK policy in consultation with the cabinet. She is a spokesperson and many of her words are like they are from parrots mouth. So, what she says has no bearing. Has she made any headway in her tours and appearances. I suspected the day she came into office but I gave her the benefit of doubt. Ever heard of window dressing ?
@gp65.: What about Pakistani soldier killed just a day ago?
I don't understand what you indians doing tlking here, every time there is an issue you guys come here crying. Tell you what go to your govt and cry there frankly, my dear we don't give a damn.
It is more likely that those indian soldiers were killed by bear/leopard or something rather than pakistan army. How could have pak army personel intruded in indian territory given that they have fenced the whole cease fire line.
@Falcon: "I think that sounds like a logical way to settle the dispute. The very fact Pakistan offered it implies that they will most likely come out clean".
Did Pakistan offer UN investigation during Salala? No. In fact it even refused joint investigation. Did it allow UN to verify evidence provided by India and US regarding 26/11? No. Why is this case different? Because Pakistan wants to set a precedent for 3rd party involvement in Kashmir which is unacceptable to India.
I also believe that HRK maybe saying the truth as she knows it. That is probably what Nawaz Sharif was also doing in 1999.
What is the history regarding treating soldiers from other side? India ensured safety of 90,000 Pakistani soldiers in 1971 and followed Geneva conventions to a T. Musharraf rewarded Ilyas Kashmiri for beheading an Indian soldier. India gave proper burial to Pakistani soldiers that Pakistan refused to accept during Kargill. We have 2 Indian soldiers who are beheaded. That fact is not under disupute. Who could have done it? Beheading opponents is a signature approach found in Pakistan - whether by TTP or Pakistani soldiers. Do you really believe it could be a false flag operation by Indian army where it beheaded its own soldiers- which is the only other explanation. In absence of photographs is there a way any investogation can reveal anything other than 'He says, she says'? Even in 26/11 despite Kasab being caught and confessing he was Pakistani, Pakistan continued to claim it was a false flag operation until Geo actually went to Kasab's town and spoke to his famly.
Keep on arguing Indian trolls! If you are so apprehensive about UN investigating this matter then stop crying out! as long as you deny any third party involvement then it is India who is the real culprit not Pakistan & nobody gives a serious thought your Indian news media which no less than a TV soap, far from truth & nearer to fiction lol.
Ms. Khar - The responsibility as well as maturity of Pakistan and its government has been laid bare many a time before for the whole world to see. With all due respect, I think you may have forgotten that actions speak louder than words.
@SM: "How about the Pakistani soldier killed by Indian Army? India is quick to blame Pakistan but outright rejects its wanton murder of Pakistani soldier"
Tit for tat firing across LOC are ongoing for many years now. It is not comparable to crossing the LOC and beheading Indian soldiers.
@Afzaal Khan: "India if interested get ready for UN investigation otherwise keep crying me a river."
How come no UN investigation was offered to verify US and Indian evidence related to 26/11? Why was no UN investigation offered for Salala? You simply want a precedent for UN intervention inKashmir. No one is so naive as to not understand.
We also understand that the civilian Pakistani government may have no involvement but Pakistan military has a habit of derailing peace to keep its relevance. It happened in 1999, 2008 and once again. It also has a habit ofl lying. It lied about Kargill. It lied that it was not sending jihadis (which it now admits). It lied initially that 26/11 people were from Pakistan. It lied about Abu Jundal but the fact remains that he was in KSA on Pakistani passport though he is an Indian citizen.
He says - she says - so we are not sure of the facts does not work when one side has a track record of lying.
@Umar: "Nato has activated Indian army because they are leaving Afghanistan and US doesn’t fell that they got much help from pk".
Do you read what you are saying before you type it? US feels that Pakistan did not help it, so Indian army beheaded its own soldiers?
@narasimha swamy: Look who's talking!. You need to come out of this bubble and know what you really are. Denial, deception- these words should not worry Indians as this is their official state policy since ever. Samjhota express incident is a minor example of such behaviour. Do you seriously think that India- with the largest poor n starved population on earth, a country that couldnot so far provide toilets to 70% of its population, is in a position to 'toss benefits' at us anyone??? Open your eyes and get a life! Don't make fun of yourself!
@Babablacksheep: "An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.yesterday they killed one of our soldier today we paid them back in the same coin".
Are you comparing the routine firing across LOC with someone crossing the LOC and actually beheading a soldier? Even in 1999 when Pakistan refused to accept its soldiers back, India gave them proper burial. There are some basic ethics in war but I guess that is too much to expect from an army whose former general gave a prize to Ilyas Kashmiri for beheading an Indian soldier
I watched the video of HRK.
First: I believe she is telling the truth. But what she believes as truth may not be the fact. Even NS was not aware of Kargil in the beginning and was believing his army.
Second and more important: It has wiped out all sympathy in the world for the Pakistan army. Next time when the talibans display the severed heads of Pakistani soldiers no one will condemn talibans.
Indian media sounds like typical "Star Plus" soaps. It is natural after all. But everyone will forget this in few days. LOC crossing happening from decades. As a disputed territory, there is no recognized international border their and same thing is expected in future as well.
As far as any threat from Indian side is concerned, readers should note the recent statement from Pakistan army that they do not consider India as a threat anymore ( Bachay hain hamaray agay).
Blood for blood...order military to raid and capture occupied kashmir and kill whoever comes in between . Indian gov sends dead body of Kasab to pakistan , respects and dug it , but these are doing opposite . Enough is enough .
Next time these Indians dare to attack any Pakistani check post, better kill 3 times more than the causality Pakistani army receives.
Why they are offering an inquiry from UN? Just deny it like the Indians did on sunday and close the matter. Treat them the way they are doing to us
Torture and mutilation of soldiers is not allowed as per provisions of Geneva Convention. If it happened it is sad and regrettable.
Without another 1971 & also at big scale, thing will not settle. Pakistan need big surgery before it learn how to behave. Nuke are dud for Pakistan. It could not used in Kargil war as it know, once it use even one there will be one less member in UN.
@HSK:
If India didn't protect the Pakistanis in 1971, not one would have been left alive in the hands of angry Bengalis. For an intelligent person, that's logical is enough to understand.
@Hemant:
Nobody ever accused them of being civilized post 700AD.
Beastly act...
Not sure who started the fight. But given the past history, only one party has the motive to keep Kashmir "dispute" alive. However, what is inexplicable is mutilation of dead enemy soldiers. The Pakistani Army indulged in such brutal behaviour during the Kargil war too. Such conduct is criminal and uncivilized.
I think that sounds like a logical way to settle the dispute. The very fact Pakistan offered it implies that they will most likely come out clean.
@Joker869..This is not the first and last time that such things has happened.Its T20 between India and Pakistan for last 66 years..Just wait Indian will reply to Pakistan score soon then I will ask for your comments again "Bring it aaawnn"..
@Hina Rabbani Khar: By hook and crook you want kashmir issue to be taken to UN.. sorry this is bilateral issue and no one can mediate. Also india dosn't need any one to resolve its matters with neighbours. Pakistan is again backstabbing india when everyone is looking fwd for normalcy. OLD HABITS DIE HARD!!!!!! I am now firm believer that India Pak can never be frineds and sit normal.
How about the Pakistani soldier killed by Indian Army? India is quick to blame Pakistan but outright rejects its wanton murder of Pakistani soldier.
Again it shows the double standard of the media and that how cheap Muslim blood seems to be in the eyes of the world.
@Hemant: "No torture or mutilation f captured soldiers was reported ." You answered yourself. If its not "reported" it never happened right? followed by 23 Indians to acknowledge your individual statement with their 'likes'.
I am from India and i like her idea. Let there be a proper investigation by a neutral party and the truth be laid bare. Truth shall always prevail. Isn't that our national motto.
The Taliban sort of miltants in Pakistan hate India and will derail peace process by all means. Pakistan should stop these militants. Such provocations and cross LOC firing is detrimental to peace aspirations of both poeple. The only winners will be Taliban and their like minded associates, such as Hafiz Saeed and Jamaat-e-Islami. These must be stopped by Pakistan Army if they want progress and long term peace in the country.
So we offer a UN investigation to them if we get accused and if they kill one of ours, a simple lodging of protest in enough.
Dont understand all this grovelling from Pakistan. What about the solider killed by the Indian army the day before. Has India offered to look into that.
To look to pressurise and even hurt Pakistan, India has to do just one thing: Mobilise.
If India mobilises its troops near the LOC, Pakistan will be forced to shift the forces fighting Taliban in the tribal areas towards the Eastern border.
India should not attack, but just force Pakistan to mobilise so many troops that TTP will gain ground and gets a breather. A classic case of nut-cracker.
India is civilised, but the Taliban are not. TTP will really show the Pakistanis who are their real enemy.
Pakistan has done right thing by denying even if they have done it. Any responsible country would do the same. These things are not acknowledged in public and should be addressed indoor.
This is another example of "Aman Ka Tamasha", where core issue of Indian Occupied Kashmir is not resolved yet where Indian forces executed 90,000 innocent Kashmirs. Now this is right time for Pakistan should resolve this issue once for ever.
Just three days back, Indian soldiers crossed the LOC and killed 1 Pakistani solider and injured another.
Now we hearing Pakistani soliders crossed the LOC and killed one Indian Solider.
In any case, LOC is not an international border. Forces of both side try to capture posts whenever they get a chance or to divert attention of some crises.
If Pakistani argument about Indian crossed LOC two days back is not correct then how can Indian argument be correct when they say Pakistan crossed LOC?
First of all if india claiming that pakistani soldiers entered their territory and killed two of its soldiers, then i think its a question mark on their professional abilities... India is very successful in counter blaming paksitan after killing 1 of its soldier two days ago, as these days no body believes what pakistan says, even if its true, its easy for india to manipulate the facts... Get inquiry done by UN rather than the false propaganda.
India if interested get ready for UN investigation otherwise keep crying me a river.
all my indian friends who consider themselves to be at seventh heaven of humanity please check wht ur guys did with sepoy Maqbool Hussain, a POW of 1965 war released after more than 40 yrs with fingers and tongue chopped
The guys who blindly support Pakistan here remind me of the those who arrogantly rubbished India's claims of Pakistan involvement in Mumbai attack.... were these not the same ones who said Osama Bin Laden was not in Pakistan. History repeats and repeats!!!! It is easy for India to repeat this act ...or it could have done so with the captured 90,000 Pakistan soldiers in 1971. Thats the difference in culture!!! So the difference in reputation....In the end this act is hurting Pakistan society NOT India as some heroes seem to believe...I pity these guys.Have you not had enough of these?
"“I represent a government that has invested four years to build normalcy… an environment of trust to move forward to achieve regional peace and internal stability,” she said in an interview in Islamabad." She is very right to some extent but dear Madam what are you going to do about your ARMY that did not gave clue to the Govt what was happening at Kargil. And we know that what goes in the Pak army stays in the Pak army. Dear Madam do not be sure as to what has happened this time. You may not be informed of all the actions by the Pak army. Please believe me Pakistan Army will never ever permit you to have peace with India. However much you try they will not let you in peace.
It is becoming clearer by the minute. It is an orchestrated plan to bring in a third party. Read our lips! NO THIRD PARTY, period! We are perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves. You ran desperately to a third party after committing the Kargil boo-boo, to save your face; we did not. It is you who are in the dock before the world, as then. Evidently, you need to save your face yet again!
Madam, the whole world knows that Pakistan is a responsible country but majority keep on accusing it unjustly and even calling it 'Denialistan'. UN probe was called for by your govt in BB's assassination case but Musharraf and intelligence agencies refused to testify or cooperate and the case still remains unsolved. Even if UN indicts Pakistan in the present case, the same would be rejected immediately by your govt. So, just relax and don't try to defend the indefensible as happened in OBL's case and many other cases in the past which your govt and military tried unsuccessfully but eventually suffered a loss of face...
There is no case of involving UN in bilateral relations w.r.t. Kashmir. Rather, it would be only about inquiring the recent incident in which Pakistan has been alleged. I admire Pakistani Government that it has offered to involve the UN to sort out these allegations. The government has acted responsibly, India should do it too. The responsible way is to engage some reliable body rather than alleging each other! I wish there is no further escalation in the bilateral ties, which are already not commendable. The propaganda furthered by hawks should be played down wisely!
There is onething to claim and all this is a game created by US! Usa, Nato has activated Indian army because they are leaving Afghanistan and US doesn't fell that they got much help from pk.
True - unfortunately your military doesn't report to the civilian govt so all that effort can be undermined without your approval.
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth.yesterday they killed one of our soldier today we paid them back in the same coin.
Ms.Khar was doing nicely until the "We are a responsible country, a mature country..." line.
Time for Indian lies to come out.
They were Indian Taliban not Pakistani troops, killing in that manners,is the only style of the Taliban.
Taliban?
I wonder how Hina Rabbani could become a Foreign Minister of Pakistan !
Typical of Pakistan. Any idea what happened to the UN commission report on BB murder ?
We are a responsible country, a mature country, we must not all go back to having a go at each other,” she told CNN-IBN.
These comments by Hina Rabani Khar are a blatant lie. Calling Pakistan a "responsible country, a mature country" is a joke. India would do well not to blindly trust a country that has become known for its "deny-and-deceive" official policy. India would be making a strategic fatal error by trusting a country whose official raison d'etre is its anti-India philosophy. First strengthen yourself and then talk from a position of strength -- that's the only language Pakistan understands. Isolate them (they already are in world affairs!) and just don't toss any benefits at them unless they first behave in a civilized manner.
Why are we promising anything... Let the indians first promise investigation into them killing one of our soldiers on sunday... First they kill our soldiers then they concoct this whole story to malign Pakistan... dont promise them anything...
Here is the problem; the same allegation of PAK troop involvement was claimed by US and AFG on the western front on various occasions. Despite evidences at government levels, PAK continues to deny that also.
Excuse me, but you lost me at mature.
India is making mockery of Amam ki Asha.
smart move india will never drag UN into bilateral matter specially concerning Kashmir.
YEAH. TO BRING CULPRIT INTO COURT OF JUSTICE, A NEUTRAL INVESTIGATION MUST BE DONE. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS MATTER.
Only the truthful can give such a suggestion. Good job Pak
Good response
Lol! Is she really that daft or making special efforts?
In Your Face INDIA!!! Bring it aaawnn
During the Kargil war Pakistan Army had brutally tortured and killed Indian army men that they had captured . A repeat that is simply unacceptable behavior from a civilized country . During the 1971 war India had captured 90,000 Pakistani soldiers . No torture or mutilation f captured soldiers was reported . . Every time the relations start improving such acts really set them back .
“I represent a government that has invested four years to build normalcy… an environment of trust to move forward to achieve regional peace and internal stability,” she said in an interview in Islamabad.
But what goes in in the Pak army stays in the Pak army. Hina is not informed of all the actions by the Pak army.
This is how things should be done, not through media propaganda which India is so fond of, let UN investigate the recent incidents on the LoC not the Indian media.
