New Delhi: Even as ceasefire violations continue along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, Home Minister Rajnath Singh has expressed hope that issues between India and Pakistan will be resolved soon. “Our diplomats are talking with officials in Pakistan. Talks are on. I think Pakistan will come on the right track, if not today then tomorrow,” he said.
His statement comes amidst a fresh diplomatic row between India and Pakistan over ceasefire violation on Wednesday that killed one Border Security Force soldier and four Pakistani rangers. Pakistan summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner and lodged a protest over the firing.
Pakistan Rangers had on Wednesday targeted a BSF patrol party by resorting to firing along the International Border in Samba district which resulted in the death of a BSF jawan was killed. In a strong retaliation by the BSF, some Pakistani rangers were killed.
The retaliation which forced the rangers to wave white flags came on a day when the government asked the BSF to provide a “suitable and appropriate reply” for any unprovoked firing from across the Indo-Pak border.
Meanwhile, the Congress trained guns at the Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Centre and blamed them for not being firm against Pakistan. “Before the elections, every BJP leader said there should be strict dealing with Pakistan. It seemed as if they will attack them as soon as they came to power. What has happened now,” Congress leader Rashid Alvi asked.
