Pakistan/India Border Clash, 1 Dead

[DarthLazy]

ISLAMABAD: Indian troops violated the Line of Control (LoC) at Bagh area of Pakistani administered Kashmir and crossed over into the Hajipir sector inside Pakistani territory early on Sunday, according to a spokesman of Pakistan’s Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), DawnNews reported.

The Indian troops entered Pakistani territory in Hajipir sector and attacked a security checkpost, said the ISPR adding that, retaliatory action by Pakistani forces resulted in the Indian forces to flee back, while leaving their weapons behind.

Two Pakistani soldiers were injured in the Indian attack, one of whom succumbed to his wounds later during treatment.

Cross border shelling began from both sides after the incident, claiming the life of a Pakistani civilian and injuring two others in the Indo-Pak border area of Kashmir.

Do the citizens of India and Pakistan share the same view? A dead body cannot be ignored.

1 dead. hardly a reason for a public outcry but considering the part of the world it is in, wars have been started with less.

Especially when both powers have the ability to nuke each other to oblivion.....

[Col. Tartleton]

I think the governments will realize that a nuclear exchange is going to kill more people than a homicide.

It's counter intuitive.

So Indian military finally decided to throw a smoke screen for their government so people would stop protesting about rape.

so on one hand we have full scale war with Pakistan and on the other we have rape reform. which one would cause more of a headache for a government?

Same type of "clash" happen between BSF and Bangladesh civilians on border in daily base, never lead to full scale war.

The protests against sexual violence are quite serious though, although ultimately it is not something that would destabilize India as whole.

^ oh nice one

[DarthLazy]

It's a non issue now, and it definintely is not a full scale war , it might have been something because of the timing of it all, but not now .

Thread dead .

India accuses Pakistan of killing two Indian soldiers and beheading them

[hellheaven1987]

Or beheaded by angry local militias...

[DarthLazy]

Indeed, every effort to derail negotiations is being made .

[hellheaven1987]

I am actually quite interested about how civilians in Kashmir react with the current rage against rape in India now, as Indian military is infamous for committing large amount of rape in Kashmir even nowadays.

[DarthLazy]

Well I was wrong, is definitely not over . And please stop talking about the rape case guys, make your own thread .

ISLAMABAD: One person was injured on Monday in Rawalakot’s Battal sector after shots were reportedly fired by Indian soldiers, DawnNews reported.

It is difficult to understand why Pakistani force mutilated the the body of Indian soldier, hence I doubt it is the work of Pakistani force, but rather the Kashmir militias that did the work.

No proof of this has ever shown up. What proof does India offer that it didn't behead its own dead body to make it seem like Pakistan or Pakistani supported groups did so? After all India lets its villagers die by the bucket load by forcing the workers of uranium mines to live there and not caring about radiation and its effects. Why should it be believed this time?
