In a statement on Saturday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, "Indian Army, in a display of its usual inhumane approach towards innocent Kashmiris, opened indiscriminate fire onto a group of shepherds in the Sattwal Sector."
| Simple but very well armed shepherds, as is the tradition. |
However,
it was a brave man who first ate an oyster...
later in an update, the ISPR said corpse count rose to two as another injured of the Indian firing succumbed to injuries.
"In sequel to Indian Army unprovoked firing today while adopting an inhumane approach towards innocent Kashmiris at Sattwal Sector, one more civilian has embraced shahadat while one remains critically injured," the statement added.
The military’s media wing identified the deaders as Obaid Qayyum (s/o Muhammad Qayyum, age 22 years) and Muhammad Qasim (s/o Muhammad Din, age 55 years).
Both the deaders are resident of village Bara Dari Tetrinote of Tehsil Hajira in district Poonch, the ISPR said.
"Driven by a newfound geo-political patronage, Indian forces have embarked on a plan to take innocent lives to satiate their false narratives and concocted allegations," the military said, in an indirect reference to a joint statement issued after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with US President Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. S I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
The ISPR said that Pakistain reserves the right to respond back in a manner of its choosing to protect Kashmiri lives in the LoC belt, regardless of the strong protest being launched from the Indian side.
"The Indian side is reminded to respect the basic human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal
liberty...
of Kashmiris, particularly, their inalienable right to till their lands," the statement concluded.
