The video, shared by ANI, shows the windows of the Gurudwara broken, with shattered glasses and debris scattered all over the floor.
The incident occurred amidst the ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan, with both countries trading fire and accusations across the border. The shelling and firing by Pakistan has resulted in significant damage and loss of life, with at least 15 civilians killed and 43 injured.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the extent of the destruction caused by the Pakistan’s unprovoked attack. The windows of the Gurudwara, which is a place of worship for the Sikh community, are seen shattered, with broken glass and debris scattered all over the floor. The video also shows the damage caused to the surrounding buildings and infrastructure, including a nearby school and residential areas.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation and outrage across the country, with people from all walks of life expressing their shock and anger at the senseless violence. The attack has also been strongly condemned by the Indian government, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling for the international community to take immediate action to stop Pakistan’s “terrorism” and “state-sponsored violence”.
The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, when Pakistan’s Rangers and Border Action Team (BAT) launched a surprise attack on the LoC in Poonch district. The attack, which lasted for several hours, resulted in significant damage to civilian property and infrastructure, including the Gurudwara.
According to eyewitnesses, the attack began around 6:30 pm, when Pakistani soldiers started firing at Indian positions along the LoC. The firing was followed by mortar shells and RPGs, which caused significant damage to civilian areas.
“I was inside the Gurudwara when the attack started,” said Gurnam Singh, a Sikh devotee who was present at the Gurudwara during the attack. “We heard the sound of gunfire and explosions, and suddenly the windows of the Gurudwara started shattering. We were all running for cover, but it was chaos.”
Singh, who was injured in the attack, added that the Pakistani soldiers were targeting civilian areas, including residential areas and schools.
“The Pakistani soldiers were targeting us deliberately,” said Singh. “They were firing at us with intent to kill. We were all running for cover, but it was impossible to escape the firing.”
The attack has also been condemned by the Sikh community, with many expressing their outrage and shock at the destruction of the Gurudwara.
“This is a sacred place for us,” said Sukhdev Singh, a Sikh leader from Poonch. “The Gurudwara is a symbol of our faith and our culture. We cannot understand why the Pakistani soldiers would target us like this.”
The attack has also raised concerns about the safety of civilians in the region, with many calling for the government to take immediate action to secure the LoC and protect civilian areas.
“This is not just an attack on a Gurudwara, but an attack on our sovereignty and our people,” said Union Home Minister Amit Shah. “We will not let this attack go unpunished. We will take all necessary measures to secure the LoC and protect our people.”
In conclusion, the video showing the damage caused at Gurudwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of Pakistan’s unprovoked attack on the LoC. The incident has resulted in significant loss of life and property, and has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across the country. It is imperative that the government takes immediate action to secure the LoC and protect civilian areas, and that the international community takes notice of Pakistan’s “terrorism” and “state-sponsored violence”.
