| In retaliatory fire, Indian Army decimates Pakistani post along Line of Control | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Feb 23: Even as the top Army and government leadership talk about making Pakistan pay for its misadventures, the forces on the ground are already giving it back to the rogue neighbour.
A national news channel has accessed a video that shows a Pakistani post being decimated along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
The retaliatory action was taken from north Kashmir's Uri, following continuous provocation by Pakistan.
Pakistani troops have been incessantly firing from across the border, targeting Army installations as well as civilians. The ceasefire agreement is being regularly violated by Pakistan along the LoC, with attempts also being made to infiltrate terrorists under the cover of fire.
Three major recent incidents in Jammu and Kashmir - the terror attack on the Sunjuwan Army camp in Jammu, the failed bid to attack a CRPF camp in Srinagar and the attack on the police team outside a Srinagar hospital to free a Pakistani terrorist - have triggered a spate of warnings from the Indian side. Rattled, Pakistan has warned India against any move to conduct surgical strikes, like the one that followed the Uri terror attack in 2016.
Army Chief General Bipin Rawat has warned that Pakistan will pay "sooner rather than later" for the recent terrorist attack on the Army camp at Sunjuwan. In the suicide attack at the Sunjuwan military station in Jammu earlier this month, six soldiers were killed while a civilian, the father of one of the soldiers, lost his life. The suicide attack was carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists - three terrorists were also gunned down in the attack. Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who had surveyed the camp after the attack, had stated that Pakistan would pay for its "misadventure".

Sitharaman had warned after visiting the Sunjuwan camp that Pakistan was trying to expand its "arc of terror" from Kashmir to Jammu region. She said Pakistan was assisting infiltration of terrorists into India by violating ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC). "Pakistan is expanding the arc of terror to the areas south of Pir Panjal Range (Jammu region) and resorting to ceasefire violations to assist infiltration. These are being responded to appropriately," Sitharaman had told reporters.
She had further said that the terrorists, who carried out the attack at the Sunjuwan camp, were Pakistanis and warned that Islamabad will pay a price for the terror attack. "Pakistan will have to pay for this misadventure," Sitharaman said. The deaths of "our soldiers won't go in vain", she added. "The terrorists belonged to JeM, sponsored by Masood Azhar residing in Pakistan and deriving support from therein," she said. |
