India fires without provocation: Pakistan

New Delhi/Srinagar: Defence sources said India is not inclined to ask for a flag meeting, given the Pakistani aggression. Indian security forces are adequately retaliating, sources said.

According to news agency reports from Jammu late on Tuesday night, three soldiers were injured in Pakistani shelling along the LoC in Poonch district of J&K but there was no confirmation of this from sources in New Delhi.

Union home minister Rajnath Singh said at an election rally in Latur, Maharashtra, that if the Pakistani ceasefire violations continue, the Army and every youth of this country are ready to give a befitting reply to Pakistan.

“... It has been conveyed in no uncertain terms to Pakistan that ground realties in India have changed.... Pakistan should think twice before indulging in any ceasefire violation as the government is being headed by Narendra Modi in India,” Mr Singh was quoted by news agencies

A report from Islamabad said that Pakistan has lodged a “strong protest” with the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan and has claimed “unprovoked” firing on the LoC and IB by Indian forces.

Pakistani officials have claimed that one woman was killed and two other civilians were injured.
