In the last 15 violations, the Pakistan Army has been the side to violate cease-fire... 0 times. Yes, that's right. The last violation, Indian side fired Mortars and HMG into Pakistani side which resulted in 6 civilian casualties which included 2 women and 3 children.
Indian Media: Pakistan Army as usual defies the LoC and fires into Indian territory, as a result, Indian forces are pounding heavily on Pakistani posts. We shall not tolerate anything.
First half Pakistani Media: Pakistan Army has once again defied the SOP at the LoC and engaged Indian posts. Due to this shameless act, General Kiyani and all the Corp Commanders must be fired and the budget cut.
Second half Pakistani Media: Indian forces violate peace, fire into Pakistan and injured n number of civilians.
Indian Army: This act is unacceptable and we have called white flag meeting, and, will not tolerate anyone who dares challenge us.
ISPR: Pakistan did NOT violate the cease-fire. At 0000 hours, at post CP XXXX, X Sector, the Indian Army opened fire into the Pakistani territory at the village named X. Pakistani forces arrived on the scene at 0030 hours from post CP XXXX which is XX kilometers away, and are engaging with the enemy, pounding the posts. (Provides more details to prove who violated the cease-fire.. PS. They agree and apologize when it's our fault, providing a well-defined reason).
Indian Army: Yes, that is what happened, our forces mistook the moving civilians to be soldiers preparing for invasion in the darkness of the night.
This is what always happens, generally. In the last 2 years, no more than 15% of the violations were initialized by Pakistan. Proves for itself.
Thank you for your careful and neutral approach to the problem. It is clear that once ISPR has given details, that is the only possible interpretation possible, and it is backed by decades of truthful and authentic reporting of events by the Pakistani side. Actually, we should stop calling it the Pakistani side, since, as your very thoughtful post script points out, when it is the PA's fault, which is hardly ever, the ISPR acknowledges it and apologizes on its behalf. That this never happens, that it is never the PA's fault, is not the point; the willingness to acknowledge it and explain what happened, and to apologise, if ever it were to become necessary, is the point. Not a prejudiced observer, then. More like a neutral observer carefully and faithfully reporting the facts, which, quite incidentally, indicate that
0 occurrences were the fault of one side, they were uniformly the fault of the other side.
I can only remain thankful that we have your measured and carefully considered approach to this messy situation, where everybody seems to be lying their heads off to gain even a minor propaganda advantage.
In this case, too, it is quite clear, in the light of your lucid explanation, what actually happened: after days of patient and reasonable representations by the Pakistani side, the Indian side suddenly lost its temper, probably under the pressure of guilt at the disgraceful nature of the construction it was putting up, and opened fire indiscriminately. Unfortunately, since dhoti-wallahs are known not to be able to shoot straight, they opened fire in the opposite direction, and injured Indian villagers. The possibility that they were terrified at the thought of opening fire at the Pakistan Army and receiving a spirited response cannot be ruled out.
I am sure that, on investigation, particularly if somebody as even-handed and neutral conducts the investigations, it will be found that the Pakistan Army actually came across the LoC and conducted rescue and medical operations, while the Indian Army skulked in guilty silence.
One more day at the trenches, working the photocopy machine and the fax. A soldier's life is indeed very tough.
