The eastern border of the country has become a constant source of nuisance owing to Indian troops’ aggression. Ever since the Uri episode, Indian military forces are violating the ceasefire agreement repeatedly. It has become a norm of Indian troops to initiate unprovoked firing along the Working Boundary and Line of Control. This has resulted in deaths of security forces and civilians residing close to the LoC. So far, Indian forces tried to breach our land, air and water boundaries. Our forces shot down Indian drone which intruded our territory on last Friday (Nov 18). In the same way, the Pakistan Navy forced the Indian submarine to retreat when it entered our waters to the length of 600 meters.
No doubt, through such tactics, India wants to deflect the attention of the world from the fresh spate of violence in Indian-held Kashmir at the hands of Indian troops. With every passing day, India’s atrocities are touching new heights. Another reason of Indian increased militancy is the CPEC which guarantees economic revolution for Pakistan. India is hell bent to dismantle this mega project. Sometimes it goads Kabul to cause a stir on the Durand line and sometimes India itself commits naked insurgency in Balochistan. We should exercise maximum restraint and try not to be trapped into Indian bait and switch.
