@raj: Sadly, Indian "Reaction" time(U.S. Strategic Research Instt.) is way below standard procedure. That mean the "firing team" will be dead-in-Bunker before even start to find what happened.
@Haider: but pakistan will suffer more with no hope at all. nuclear weapons will be a suicidal for pakistan
@Asad: Think again and you will get the answer. For a clue please think what will happen if political people succeed in bringing India and Pakistan on friendly terms?
@Zia: I hope you realize that Pakistan is not the only country that has nuclear weapons.
Why can't Indians just keep to themselves?
Don't just pass statements of response....Mr. ISPR......Tell us how many are killed as a response.........which should be more than what PAKISTAN lost.
Indians have been doing this for a long time and their media and govt blames Pakistan Army for this just like Israel does it with Palestine. Pakistan reserve right to reply them a fitting reply. We common Pakistanis, supports any action against Indian Army.
All fierce patriots should immediately proceed to the border to do their bit. There are better things to shoot off than your mouths.
You say we fired first
What has the Pakistani army to gain from shelling the Indian side when they've already started a campaign against the militants in the west?
Use your minuscule brains for once my Indian friends.
Pak military seriously needs to review its policy of cross-border terrorism which it has been pursuing for several decades as the Modi govt would respond massively on any border violation committed by Pakistan. This may lead to something big and result in more humiliation for Pakistan.
NS has no face to say anything as Pakistan Rangers suddenly started the firing first without any provocation and killed an indian BSF soldier and injured three. Its in Pakistan's interest to keep the LoC hot for 1. to infiltrate militants into Kashmir and 2. to keep the conflict alive to show the world about the problem. India has no such benefits hence its always the Pakistanis who initiate the firing.
We should strongly condemn the cowardly firing on innocent Pakistani s on loc.give the strong reply so they will pay the price as well.
It's obvious that some third party is causing this misunderstanding between the two sides . iM , LeT or T could anyone . Both sides should TALK directly to avoid such confusion .
At how many fronts Pakistan wants to fight ?
It is for every one to think think and draw honest conclusions. why is it that every time these two countries try to come close and resolve issues the border heats up. Bajpai ji went to Pakistan on a bus and political heads were trying to come close suddenly Kargil busted and peace was shattered to pieces. Manmohan Singh visited and soon after soldiers were beheaded and stone pelting storms with infiltration of terror blew in Kashmir. Now Mr Nawaz Sharif makes an honest effort to put thing in place but his visit on the invitation of Mr Modi was engulfed in a hate storm. As some signs of peace are raising heads with leaders meeting see the storm is again building up with charges of cross border firings. Press and media of both countries are reporting opposite things. All reasonable people should think that after all who are the people who benefit from these tensions and clashes.? Whose existence depends on this enmity of two countries? Look and also analyse why so many 'farishtas' of total revolution are in Pakistan. Sure we will get the answer. Are these games are not becoming obvious and now people do understand?
It is a surprise that NS has so far not removed the DG Punjab Rangers for the retaliatory fire.
@Rudra: No soldier was killed.
One Indian soldier killed first by Pakistanis ... Wait and watch this space ... We have taken it for long ... now no more from Pakistan ... It will be 4 eyes for 1 eye ....
Indians are reporting Pakistan army started shelling and killed their soldier first. What is our army up to now? Same old games?
@hammad Mian. Yep that's what we said when our soldier was killed, day before yesterday and three more injured when they tried to recue him, bullets were fired upon them heavily. So yes now no more. Retaliate and answer back in their own language,
@Hammad mian: india is not taliban make no mistake; the country which has half of its army spread from karachi to khber is making india a threat
There we go again. India looking for a perfect opportunity to spot a poor civilian on his daily business. Cowardice has a new definition.
And as usual our great leader always quiet/ apathetic for any loss of own citizens. Its our punishment. Every Muslim country in conflict these days, our poor leaders only on throne for greed. Well deserved fate I'd say.
Give more votes to them, hasten your doom. Die by the hands of complete cowards.
we condemn this attack, all is good now.
NS should call Moodi to de-escalate
Now no more. Pakistan must take stern action against his enemy.
