Tensions rise high in Kashmir
At least 10 militants were killed when Indian soldiers fired on a group of infiltrators trying to cross over from Pakistan at the Line of Control (LoC) under the cover of Pakistani firing in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, two days after a massive terror strike that killed 18 soldiers in the garrison town of Uri. \"It was a major infiltration bid,\" an army source said.
​Uri/New Delhi: At least 10 militants were killed when Indian soldiers fired on a group of infiltrators trying to cross over from Pakistan at the Line of Control (LoC) under the cover of Pakistani firing in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, two days after a massive terror strike that killed 18 soldiers in the garrison town of Uri. "It was a major infiltration bid," an army source said.
"Indian soldiers returned the fire and kept vigil around to monitor any cross border movement. A group of armed infiltrators was immediately spotted," the source said.
The source said the Pakistani fired from small and automatic arms targeting Indian posts in Lachhipora and Boniyar villages of the border area caused no damage to Indian posts. Home minister Rajnath Singh told the BSF to deal with the ceasefire violation by Pakistan 'suitably'.
83% Indians want military might An overwhelming 83 per cent Indians believe using military might is the best way to respond to Pakistan-sponsored terror. In the Rediff.com poll, we had asked whether, "a military option the right answer to the Uri attack?"
Of the over 10,000 respondents who have voted since the poll was posted on Rediff.com, 8722 voters have said 'Yes' to using military force against Pakistan. Just 16 per cent (1710 voters) of voters said, attacking Pakistan was not the answer to the Uri terror attack.
In New York, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has held separate meetings with US Secretary of State John Kerry and his British counterpart Theresa May during which he urged the two countries to help resolve issues between Islamabad and New Delhi.
Meanwhile, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has backed Pakistan and called on India to immediately cease "atrocities" in Kashmir and peacefully settle the issue in accordance with wishes of Kashmiri people and the UNSC resolutions.
