HORRIFYING PAK COWARDICE: Civilians In Poonch Village Distraught &

Pakistan, the country which on one hand harps the tune for peace in its attempt to portray itself as a nation striving for it, and on the other hand at the same moment, it destroys lives of those it claims it wants to save. 

In an act most condemnable, Pakistan has fired along the LoC at Indian civilian areas in Jammu and Kashmir and killed two children - a nine-month-old baby, her five-year-old brother and their mother. The cowardly act exposes Pakistan's doublespeak as the civilians were targeted during the time of the release of IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.

On Friday, Pakistan violated ceasefire in Poonch in Jammu and Kashmir firing at civilian areas. Distraught civilians lay low for cover, but the death of innocent children in the firing has angered the locals. The shelling has also caused a lot of destruction of property. As seen in the visuals, the firing which killed the children also brought down the house where they used to play, sleep and eat.

A local from Salotri of Jhalos area where the firing happened has spoken about the atrocities committed by the Pakistan Forces. Republic Media Nework's Amit Kumar Chaudhary spoke to locals who have implored to stop the atrocities committed on them by the Pakistan Forces.

The local says, "The shelling began after Azaan at around 6.30 pm and continued for lose to four hours. We were scared and stayed at home. The firing has caused a huge destruction. This house belongs to Mohammed Aslam whose wife and two children were killed. And look at the condition of his house. Other house which was destroyed belongs to Rashid. One more child was injured, his leg was chopped off by the firing and he has been taken to Jammu. Why are we being subjected to this atrocity. The mortars which was felled is the biggest ever. If more such shellings happen, this whole place wil be destroyed. Why are we being slaughtered like this?"

This action is indicated to be Pakistan's brazen attempt to move the terrorist to a safer place under the protection of the Pakistan Army. This suggestion of security officials came after Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the JeM chief is "unwell".

"He is in Pakistan, according to my information. He is unwell to the extent that he can't leave his house, because he's really unwell," Qureshi told CNN when asked about Azhar.

Pakistan Foreign Minister's remarks came amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan after the February 14 terror attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Pulwama that left 40 CRPF personnel dead, following which Pakistan government has repeatedly claimed for wanting 'peace' and parallel to that asked for 'evidence' from India against Azhar to stand him in the court of justice.

Following which, India has even handed over a dossier to Pakistan with "specific details of the JeM complicity in Pulwama terror attack and the presence of JeM terror camps and its leadership in Pakistan."

India also expressed regret at the denial by Pakistan's political and military leadership at the presence of terrorist infrastructure in territories under its control.

Known to be a close aide of Osama bin Laden, Azhar was released by India in a negotiation to free hijacked Indian plane passengers in Kandahar in 1999, Jaish-e-Mohammed was formed almost after his release from Indian prison. Further, he carried on brutal attacks against India including the recent attacks on Pathankot base, Uri in 2016 and also attack on the Indian Parliament on December 13, 2001, in which nine security personnel and officials were killed. 

This is not the first time that Pakistan has advocated the devil, as former Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif went on record to say that Pulwama attack was an 'act of revenge', saying it is a legitimate right and a birth-right, and shockingly going on to add, "we support them and we advocate them".
