Firefights continued along the Line of Control between Indian and Pakistani Kashmir tonight, with Pakistan reporting 12 civilians slain in cross-border firing so far this month, and urging the United Nations to stop the growing clashes.
Both sides are trading blame for the recent spate of firings, and both sides have seen their share of civilian deaths. The rhetoric seems to be picking up by leaders on both sides as well, particularly with respect to Indian Premier Narendra Modi.
India’s Home Ministry reported the latest orders from Modi are “to ensure that Pakistan suffers deep and heavy losses” in the cross-border fighting, following up on Modi’s bragging about firing 1,000 mortars into Pakistani territory.
Officials say that since Modi’s election in May, he’s been encouraging increasingly aggressive tactics along the border, with an eye toward showing India’s military superiority to Pakistan.
It’s a dangerous game, as India and Pakistan have fought three different border wars along the Line of Control, and neither side wants to be seen as blinking first in the latest conflict.
Here we go with that one again. Is the US going to deploy ground troops for both sides as well?
Ssshhh. Don't give Obola any ideas!
NO…but we will continue supplying both sides.
We were warned that Modi is a member of the Psychopaths R Us Club. Sure seems to be a rather large club lately.
Yeah, don't you just get a kick out of how some ruling class, fascist like Modi so casually dispenses with the lives of ordinary Indians. These murderers are all the same no matter whether its in the United States with a looney-tune like McCain or in India with this schmuck. Why doesn't this pig put his or one of kid's fat asses on the line in the fight against Pakistan?
let India F the Pakis. Pakistan is another Israel created by British. The similarities are mind boggling.
Just as Israel is not a Jewish state, Pakistan on the other hand not Muslim state.
Israel was created by in 40s and so was Pakistan.
Israel has no border and neither Pakistan.
Israel has no Constitution, neither has Pakistan.
Israel was created from Palestine, Pakistan was made of India.
When you criticize a Pakistan, he will be crying wolf. If you criticize Israel, you be called Anti Semite.
Israel is created to destabilize Middle East. Pakistan is created to destabilize Far east.
Damn. Too bad it's not just Buddhists killing Hindus and Hindus killing Buddhists like in Sri Lanka.
That way it would hardly even be news. As in, who really cares? carry on..
Pakistan has attacked India four times. Pakistan is the foremost exporter of terror in the world. Pakistan has been infiltrating terrorists into India since 67 years. Pakistan was responsible for the Mumbai and the Indian Parliament attack. Pakistan is being funded and armed by the USA since the last 67 years. Join the dots.
