India claims to have conducted surgical strikes in Pakistan

India conducted a surgical strike at the Line of Control on Thursday to prevent terrorists from attacking Indian soil, India’s DGMO Lt. Gen Ranbir Singh said in a press conference in New Delhi, Indian media reported.

“There were launch pads at the LoC where terrorists were present waiting to infiltrate the nation and attack areas in Kashmir and metros across the country,” the DGMO said, the Indian Express reported

He claimed to have recovered GPS with Pakistani markings during the raid, adding that they did not have any more plans of strikes.

The ISPR on Thursday denied claims of the Indian Army of a surgical strike at the LOC.

There has been no surgical strike by India, instead there had been cross border fire initiated and conducted by India which is existential phenomenon, the ISPR said.

Of late, tensions between Pakistan and India soared high over the use of brute force by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir. So far, over 110 innocent Kashmiris have been martyred as occupying Indian forces used force to quell protests in the valley that initiated after the killing of Kashmiri youth leader Burhan Muzaffar Wani.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, in his address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), highlighted the worst human rights abuses in the Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK) and called for an immediate cessation to Indian atrocities.

The speech apparently fumed the neighbouring arch-rival as its top leadership reacted to it with baseless allegations and threats.

In her address with the UNGA, Indian minister for external affairs Sushma Swaraj dismissed UN's Kashmir resolution and reiterated the age-long rhetoric against Pakistan.

A day after, PM Modi threatened Pakistan with water terrorism by hinting at blocking the flow of Indus water into Pakistan.
