Recently read that Pakistan returned one Indian solider because he accidentally 'swam' away into the country; and this is how they repay us?- by killing a civilian and injuring 2? Obviously all Indians on ET will be quite. Such lack of humanity -.-
This matter needs investigation and not just media reporting. I wonder why Pakistani government allow civilian settlement close to such a hot border. Troops on both sides of border are panicky about any movement along the border. Sadly there will be collateral damages. Civilian's safety is government's responsibility. And it's just rational in every level and sense that civilians are not allowed to wander close to such a hot border, unless you don't care for their lives.
Modi trying to help Nawaz Shareef
@Blunt: There wouldn't be deafening silence if the moderator allowed the comment to pass. 2 indian border security force jawaans were shot and are now injured. You didn't expect retaliation?
Deafening silence from cross the border... Had the roles been reversed, I bet this article had accumulated atleast 100 comments from Indian keyboard warriors.
An apt resounding slap on the face of this shameless Nawaz government and this media dying in the love of Indians who never let us ordinary Pakistanis forget how venomous enemies are they
@deep: Those people you are mentioning have absolutely no credibility at all. As far as news is concerned you are not ready to accept the crimes against humanity on LoC and whole of occupied Kashmir Whole region of occupied Kashmir which is a declared Pakistani territory occupied 'illegally' by India. Shame on you on defending Human killers in uniform.
I think all the pakistani respondents need to read 'Magnificent Delusions' by Hussain Haqqani and perhaps Ahmed Rashid's work on the Taliban to understand the true nature of the establishment in their country and why India needs to have so many troops along the border. We had fewer but thanks to Musharraf and Kargil even those posts that were traditionally abandoned in winter are now manned destroying the last vestige of trust between the two sides.
and this is the reply we get from India for treating their soldier with care?
Indian Media why dont u cover this story TRUE Face of Indian army....we should ours with handing their soldier back to them.....This is the difference between our army and Indian Army
An armed uniformed Indian soldier entered Pakistan territory with maps and was returned with VIP protocol. India immediately showed its traditional way of returning the favor by next day sending the dead body of an ordinary Pakistani civilian villager who had crossed the border unintentionally and now this killing and injuring of more Pakistani civilians to show Indian gratitude.
