New Delhi: On Thursday, the Indian military dismissed reports that the force guarding the Line of Control (LoC) has taken action against terrorist groups in Pakistani-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Reports of the Indian Army’s action in PoK across the LoC are false, ANI told the Indian Army’s director general of military operations, Lieutenant General Paramjit Singh.
Previous reports claimed that Indian security forces carried out one-off attacks on terror launch pads in PoK. Reports suggested serious damage was inflicted on Pakistan-backed terrorist camps in the region.
Times Now’s Pradeep Dutta reported that in recent days Pakistan has been very aggressive along the Line of Control, resorting to unprovoked gunfire in many areas. Pakistani forces were trying to aggravate the situation by attacking civilian areas along the border.
Four Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists were killed and two policemen were injured in a shooting in the Nagrota area of Jammu on Thursday. The shooting began when the terrorists were intercepted by the police at a toll plaza near Nagrota while traveling in a truck on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway.
It is a well known fact that Jammat-ud-Dawa, JeM and other Pakistani-backed terror groups are active in PoK, where terrorists are trained to carry out attacks in India.
In particular, since the Narendra Modi government revoked Article 370 and divided Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories, Pakistani hostilities have increased. So far 4,052 incidents of ceasefire violations have been reported on the Pakistani side.
The Indian forces protecting the borders have retaliated heavily for the Paksitani adventure. While retaliating for Pakistan’s violation of the ceasefire on November 13, the Indian army killed at least eight Pakistani soldiers and injured 12 others with its firm response. Pakistan’s outposts were attacked by anti-tank guided missiles and artillery guns.
