SIALKOT: Pakistani troops have befittingly responded to to unproved firing by the Indian forces at the Nakial sector at Line of Control (LoC) this evening, according to Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
It was the third ceasefire violation by the Indian troops today.
Earlier, the Indian Border Security Forces (BSF) resorted to ceasefire violation in Shakargarh and Charwah sector on Thursday morning.
Indian troops fired at Pakistan's Ashraf Shaheed check post from the Naryan check post, Express News reported.
The Chenab Rangers effectively responded to the firing -- which has continued for two hours -- targeting the civil population in villages.
No deaths or injuries have been reported.
The attack comes a day after Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Asim Bajwa said, “We want peace with India, but we will retaliate when there is a violation."
Further, amidst the unabated ceasefire violations by the Indian troops along the LoC and working boundary, lawmakers hit out at New Delhi for its hostile posturing and raised the spectre of a nuclear war in the region.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MNA Shazia Marri said, “This is the time we respond to India as a nuclear state.” India claims to be the largest democracy of the world, but looking at the rampant and flagrant violations of human rights in Kashmir by Indian troops “we can call it a sham democracy,” she added.
“It’s a fact that we cannot change our neighbours – but living peacefully is a shared responsibility.”

I don't understand why the Indian people think that Pakistan is lying about LoC cease fire violations by the Indian armed forces? Are the Indian people really that gullible?
We've tried bilateral talks, India responded with mortar shelling. We've tried raising the issue at the UN, India refuses UNMOGIP investigation. The UNSC has passed resolutions that India is in clearly violating.
India is the bully here, not Pakistan. Time to show that you are matured democratic nation, sit down with us and talk about it... but if you keep shelling civilians across the working boundary in Sialkot or across the LoC in Kashmir, we will have no choice, except to return fire.
Our DGMO asked for a meeting between the commanders on-ground and India refused. You tell us what would like to do? I mean, Modi has been pretty clear on the matter, keep firing at Pakistan (in violation of the cease-fire agreement), and keep ignoring their requests for a peaceful end to this conflict.
There are reports that India is trying to shift the LOC slowly under the cover of firing, and slowly eat up Pakistan's territory in Azad Kashmir. Pakistan must be vigilant against this.
@Haider: Thank you. We ertainy hope peace prevails. War does not benefit Indian or Pakistani people. There is one beneficiary and we know what that is. Hopefully they will realise that i does it pay them any more because retaliation can be swift.
@mansoor khan:
Sure please stop Indian movies being imported officially. It is your cinema owners who will have to shut down because Pakistan does not produce enough movies. In any case these Movies are sold at a very marginal cost to Pakistan since most of the money is made in India, US, UK, UAE.
@asim: India has a no first use policy on nukes. It does not have a no use policy. If Pakistan uses nukes, it will cease to exist when India retaliates. Pakistani generals know this too and will never dare to use nukes against India. All their implied threats of escalation o nuclear war is simply to scare other countries and drag them into this by forcing India to do what Pakistan wants. India will not submit to nuclear blackmail.
@asim : Ha ha .... yeah like we won't do that ... question is do you have the guts to fire one, coz our stand is it does not matter if you fire one or one small one. We will fire second but fire as many which will be required to wipe your puny country off the map. So when both countries have nuke its no more useful in a war unless you want to commit suicide.
Stop being in denial wake up, u r the enemy@Indian:
India will only come to terms once Pakistan will make it's firing power unbearable for India. Basically Indians are very coward but very wicked as usually the coward people are. Hence more than a befitting reply is necessary in Indian's case.
@ashish: Lol Pakistanis watching Indian news media!, and then believe in it? Bravo man!
Point our nukes at all of their major cities and keep the finger on the trigger. If India wants to play this game we can play it too.
with so much hatred and a SERIOUS trust deficit on both sides, all trade with India must b stopped and their movies/plays and ads must be banned in Pakistan. India is trying to bully pakistan not only on border but has also undertaken a cultural invasion of its filtlhy and sub-standard culture which has made inroads and spoiling our values, culture and language. Hence all exchange treaties must be ended with India to curb this Indian menace..
Most countries use diplomats to build relationship. Pakistan resorted to using terrorists to carry out its foreign policy agenda. No wonder they are paid back in bullets.
GHQ cant no longer under nuclear umbrella as it pursues its rogue policies. Any use of nuclear weapon by Pak will end its existence.
Indian trolls are trying best to defend their army's evil deeds. No wonder Modi is their PM
Happy Diwali Pakistanis ... some fireworks are mandatory :)
Both I and P sound genuine in blaming the other party.Why not probe to see if any third party is shelling both sides just to instigate both sides so that both sides fight each other .
@Pakistani: 1st Happy diwali ... 2nd Nuclear power and we still bomb you, Iran still threatens you, USA still drones you, Afghans hate you, KSA still pets Pakistan, .... Nukes are nothing but toys of Death, Doomed if u use them Doomed if you dont use them.... , Nuke dont project power.....
Why is it that besides India, Iran and Afghanistan also require to resort to gun fire to get Pakistan to do her duty of reigning in terrorists and behaving in a manner that is required by the comity of nations?
Despite what anybody might think, the firing from Indian side cannot be said to be 'unprovoked'. The mere fact that guys like Hafiz Saeed are roaming free in Pakistan is provocation enough.
Nuclear state....hahahahahahaha....
Happy Diwali!!!!
@Pakistani , Nuclear nuclear... if you don't stop this, entire world will come together (even China) to stop u.
i hate india ihate america ihate obama
This newspaper and others in Pakistan are not publish news of attacks in Canada. It has been conformed it was carried out by a Muslim. No one believes a word a Muslim says and with regards to the LOC issue the world/UN is not interested in anything Pakistan has to say. Your days are near.
Indian as usual trying to show off their power. i wonder how many times in a day they forget Pakistan as a nuclear state!
Yeah, yeah, it is always unprovoked. Why would anybody waste a shell on Pakistan?
Logically this is not possible as Indian pm is in the region. Protocol does not allow this. So please think !
If you tell a lie thousand times, it do not become truth.
