Pakistan breached cease-fire Again.

[bhramos]

(CNN) -- The Indian army accused Pakistani troops of violating a major cease-fire early Thursday by firing across the line of control in Kashmir.
Pakistani border troops fired for about 90 minutes in Poonch district of Jammu Kashmir, said Biplab Nath, a spokesman for the Indian army in Jammu.
They used heavy volumes of small arms and heavy caliber weapons, such as mortars and rocket-propelled grenades, the spokesman said.
Indian troops retaliated "appropriately" to the "unprovoked" firing, Nath said.
A spokesman for the Pakistani military said he was looking into the report and would comment when he had more information.
Nath said there were no casualties on the Indian side, and they were seeking a meeting with Pakistan.
"Our assessment is that this firing was to primarily assist infiltration of terrorists," he said.
Such cease-fire violations have been common since 2003, but Nath described the latest incident firing as "major."
Kashmir has been a source of bitter dispute between India and Pakistan.
Under terms agreed by the two countries, Kashmir's rulers could either opt to merge with India or Pakistan or remain independent.
One part sided with Pakistan. The ruler of the other part sided with India, where most people are Hindu, sparking a controversy among the region's Muslim majority.
The line of control was formally established in 1972. There have been routine accusations that both sides fire across the line -- which they have denied.

Pakistani, Indian troops battle on Kashmir border

2010-08-19 15:40:00
Pakistani and Indian troops fired mortars at one another on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir early Thursday in one of the biggest breaches of their seven-year ceasefire but no one was injured. By dawn, the border was calm again.

Officials accused the Pakistan Army of firing heavy machine guns and volleys of mortars at three Indian posts in Poonch district in the Jammu region, forcing the Indians to retaliate.

The firing took place at Kranti, Ghoda and Kirpan posts in Mendhar area in Poonch, 230 km from Jammu, the winter capital of the state.

'The firing started around 12.30 a.m. and lasted for more than three hours,' an army source told IANS. 'The Indian side retaliated,' the source added.

Officials said no one was injured on the Indian state despite the intensity of the gun battles and mortar firing.

The Indian Army is expected to take up the matter with its Pakistani counterparts.

Although there have been recurring instances of ceasefire violations, always blamed by India on the Pakistanis, the Thursday battle was intense because of the use of mortars.

Indian sources say there is a clear attempt by Pakistan to raise the temperatures on the LoC, which divides disputed Jammu and Kashmir between the two countries, at time of massive street protests and civilian deaths in the Kashmir Valley.

The military wants the army headquarters in New Delhi to take up the matter at the highest level with Pakistan.

The ceasefire on LoC came into force in November 2003 when the Indian and Pakistani armies agreed to put an end to daily exchanges of fire on both the LoC and the international border.

The ceasefire has mostly held, giving much needed respite to both the armies.

India and Pakistan have fought three major wars, mostly over Jammu and Kashmir. While Islamabad holds the northern third of the Himalayan state, New Delhi controls the southern two-third.

[prateikf]

what else should one expect from our enemies. the floods should drown the whole of Pakistan and every Pakistani. they deserve it. the world would be a far better place without pak. every terrorist has his base in pak.

 

[alphatechnocrat]

For every bullet they shoot at us, fire back 10 bullets. We are a peace loving nation...but if you ask for a fight, we are more than willing to give it to you.

I alway knew Pakistan was one of the most Shameless nation on the planet, even after getting thrashed in each war and shameful surrenders and loses, I thought these guys were just being pure jihadis/islamists who are drenched in hating everything non-muslim, BUT today when Failed State no.10 pakistan, the Bankrupt beggar nation living off on Foreign BHIK is drowning in floods, their Pious Islamic army is shooting bullets and mortars at us, at the time when we have sent Bhik of more than USD 20 Million for Hungry/Poor/Homeless pakistanis; this signifies few things for sure:

1) pakistan arm is truly shameless.

2) They are only interested in siphoning off AID/BHIK money in the pretext of Indian Bogeyman.

3) They will do mercenary work for anyone, I strongly believe India must have bought some Porni (paki) generals till now.

4) pakistan's top brass belongs to the era of shameful SURRENDER of 1971, indeed they are so ashamed to face the reality that they would never accept Peace.

5) pakistan army of Feudal Lords (upper/elite class) wants to possess complete power of pakistan, and would never allow majority poor and discriminated (slave, poor and minority) pakistani lower-peasant class their rights to self-govern (enslavement both mental and physical is foremost objectives of pakistani feudal/army/discriminatory/elite class).

No my friend, We are shameless to give milk to a snake thinking it won't bite again. I long for the day when India has leaders who are born in India and loves this country and not their original birth lands. This applies to all parties - Advani - Pakistan, Manmohan Singh - Pakistan, Sonia - Italy.

Who will speak for India ?

 

[Illusive]

Meeting with pakistan ?....for what, asking them to justify this act. Bollocks, India is equally acting stupid here, too many times they have violated cease-fire this year. They have achieved what they wanted to do, why meet then. Use media to give them stern warning so that they, their people and the world comes to know what pakistan is acting like even in such crisis situation their so-called-country is facing.
