India will not suspend or cancel the new visa agreement it entered with Pakistan recently to protest against the "barbaric and inhuman mutilation" of two Indian soldiers who were killed by Pakistani troops on Tuesday in Kashmir

The Pakistani army on Thursday refused to allow trucks from India carrying goods at cross-Line of Control trade point in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, in the backdrop of tension in bilateral relations following ceasefire violations which killed 2 Indian troops.

25 trucks carrying goods, mostly vegetables, from India were not allowed to cross the LoC and enter Pakistan-occupied Kashmir at Chakan-Da-Bagh, officials of the trade facilitation center (TFC) at Poonch said.

As the trucks carrying goods for PoK traders reached Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing point to enter the trade center at Rawalakote (POK) after clearance at TFC, the Pakistan army did not open the gates and conveyed this to Indian Army authorities at the point.

With the stranding of 25 trucks, a total of 65 trucks are now lined up waiting to move into POK from Chakan-Da-Bagh crossing point. Most of these trucks are carrying perishable goods, particularly vegetables.

This is the second time LoC trade has come a halt after the Pakistan Army refused to open the gates during the past 8 months.

Union ministry of home has received inputs that suggest that Indian army units in the Uri sector could have provoked the incident. While there was sporadic firing exchanged in some parts ofthe LoC, a cross-border raid by the ghatak (commando) platoon of the 9th Maratha Light Infantry (MLI) in the early hours of Sunday could have been the provocation.

Top sources in the Union Home and defence ministries told DNA that the Pakistani attack was in all likelihood a retaliation for the attack carried out by 9 MLI.

The commander of the 161 brigade, stationed in the Churchunda sub-sector, Brigadier Gulab Singh Rawat, had decided to take a very aggressive posture. Sources said that he asked the commanding officer of 9 MLI to take “proactive action”, to launch a quick raid against a post that was harassing Indian positions.

The successful Indian raid led to the death of a Pakistaninon-commissioned officer and escalated tensions across the LoC....
“We believe that this was a local action purely in retaliation of what the raid our troops carried out in the Uri sector,” a senior intelligence official told DNA. The Union home ministry is also looking at the role played by Brig Rawat and whether his “aggressive posture” could have been avoided.

There is a feeling in the government that Brig Rawat has a very “aggressive track record” which could have escalated tensions on the LoC at a time when the nine-year-old ceasefire was holding up well. An inquiry into the incident has been ordered by Army Headquarters and a decision on Brig Rawat could also be taken in the coming days.

“A Pakistan army soldier, Havildar Mohyuddin embraced shahadat due to unprovoked firing by Indian troops at Hotspring sector at 1440 hours today,” Pakistan’s Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) said. The soldier is believed to be from the 29 Baloch regiment.

Separately, the army clarified in reference to The Hindu story ‘Runaway grandmother sparked savage skirmish on LoC’ that Maj. Gen. Khandare and not Maj. Gen. G.S. Rawat is currently the General Officer Commanding of 19 Infantry Division. The army also denied that any permission was ever sought by the GOC for aggressive action against any Pakistani post.

No such clarification by DNA though!

Looks like someone is feeding wrong information to these papers to play down the incident, and avoid taking tough decisions! My suspicions are it is Chidambaram. They even got the GoC name wrong. DNA says this person has aggressive style, when he is not the one commanding that division! How dishonest can you get??

One can only hope that IA will avenge this barbaric killing in a suitable way!

52 killed in billiard hall bombing in Pakistan

Quetta: Police say the death toll from a twin bombing at a billiard hall in southwest Pakistan has risen to 52.

Police officer Mohammed Murtaza says the attack in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, also wounded more than 100 people.

Police officer Hamid Shakeel says the bombs went off about 10 minutes apart late on Thursday evening.

Murtaza says many people were killed and wounded when the second bomb caused the building to collapse. He says many of the dead and wounded are Shiite Muslims.

Radical Sunni Muslims have stepped up attacks in Baluchistan this year against Shiites, who they consider heretics.
