Indian television median showed the evidence of mortar fired into residential areas with holes in people's homes, cars, killing a girl in the region with shell fragments... Whereas all Pakistani media shows is a file photo with 2 boilerplate paragraphs with their usual rants...
@Owais Khan: Because it's an "Indian" news(related) silly. We are obsessed with "our" country not yours. So we read all country media and comment, what's wrong? No site is banned here like YouTube etc we enjoy freedom to surf the net. And for your info even Pakistanis comment on ndtv and cnnibn, toi sites. Only difference they comment on everything local inside india. While we only on indian related news here.
Uffff children , stop squabbling .
Why Indians are so obsessed with Pakistan that's my question majority of them here the respondents are indians and they are curious whats going on here . Obviously Indians on and off violate the LOC firing and killing civilians and two of both of you indians please note that if the news was from the other side what was your response then .....................
India has a dispute with China oo yet no shot has been fired in 50 years. Bangladesh is also part of thebcountry that was partitioned in 1947. Has India ever fired on them? ( I give both examples because one country Has a stronger army and one weaker).
Why is it that this only happens with Pakistan? Because Pakistan starts these issues.
one good trip to usa and this is what pak reply is.
Please don't publish false news. A girl was killed after Pakistani forces started firing, Indian forces had to retaliate.
If Pakistan starts pushing strategic asset into India,what you expect BSF to do.Now a days BSF is doing a lot of target practising into the jungle.
I urge to the media not to distort the facts about who first provoked firing at the border.You people are largely responsible for creating an image of India in the eye of the masses.So kindly use your power judiciously.Thank you.
I urge to the media people to get the facts correct first as to who started the firing.You people are leading element for creating a image in people's mind about India.So I request to use your power judiciously.Thank you.
Please change to title to "Indian Army retaliate unprovoked Pakistan firing along the Line of Control". It was Indian reply to ceasefire violation by Pakistan firing in Charwa sector.
