Pakistan Army soldier inadvertently crossed LoC; Indian Army killed him.

[KRAIT]

Do you think it's unfair to say that some parties simply will not allow things to calm down between Pakistan and India ?

Well, for many people on both sides of the border, this conflict is lifeline.

Rest in Peace.

One can imagine the pressure, a soldier has to live with, in LOC.

Hope more benefits are given to soldiers of both countries.

 

[KRAIT]

BTW Rest in Peace. Hope, his family is taken care of.

ISLAMABAD: Indian troops shot dead a Pakistani soldier who had strayed onto their side of the de facto border in the disputed Kashmir region, officials from both countries said Friday.

“We detected some suspicious movement yesterday near the LoC (Line of Control) inside our territory and the challengers from our side fired and in the ensuing firefight he was killed,” Lieutenant Colonel Rajesh Kalia, a spokesman for the Indian army’s northern command, told AFP.

An AK-47 rifle was found alongside the body of the soldier, the spokesman added.

A Pakistani security official said contact was being made with the Indian authorities for the return of the body of the soldier, identified only as Ikhlaq.

The soldier had been killed on Thursday night after he “inadvertently crossed the Line of Control in Khoi Ratta sector”, the Pakistani official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

Tensions between India and Pakistan were heightened last month after a series of cross-border exchanges in the disputed Kashmir region. Two Pakistani soldiers were killed on January 6, before India claimed on January 8 that one of its soldiers was beheaded in an alleged attack by Pakistani troops.

Firing and small skirmishes are common along the 740km LoC despite a ceasefire that was agreed in 2003. The Indian army says eight of its soldiers were killed in 2012, in 75 incidents of ceasefire violations.

Hope you remember when an Indian Chopper strayed 20 Km into Pakistan and landed still thinking he was in Indian territory ..... how funny was that. !!

Was that a Weaponised chopper? Did it fired on Pakistani soldiers?? Brother LoC is volatile area, No one know what can come from Pakistan. Most of the time terrorists come from Pakistan, Who kill Indian.

The report says that 2 Indian soldiers were injured, how many Pakistan soldiers were injured by that chopper? If some Pakistan cross border (innocently) in Gujarat/Rajsthan etc, we send them back, But Kashmir is different issue, no one knows what Pakisatn is sending?

There is only one solution for Peaceful LoC, No cross border terrorism. Then if some one mitakenly pass border, he will be escorted back to Pakistan.

So it seems, IA fired first....

We can only hope it was due to mistaken identity.

Death of a soldier is always a sad thing, specially during peace times. RIP to the soldier and hope sense and goodwill prevails all over and this blood shed stops once and for all.

Indian Army failed once again. There are many methods of sending warnings.

Delhi drama queens are now giving another twist to the story.

New Delhi: Indian troops have killed the Pakistani soldier who had crossed the Line of Control (LoC) in Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir to attack an Indian post, Army said on Friday. The Indian Army has acceded to the Pakistan Army Director General of Military Operations request to return the body of the Pakistani soldier. The Pakistan Army had on Thursday said that one of its soldiers had inadvertently..

How pathetic is that, a single soldier decided to cross over and attack the Indian post.
