Pakistan Army Targets Mosque, Gurudwara, Temple in J&K’s Poonch
In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, Pakistan’s army has targeted a mosque, a gurudwara, and a temple in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in its wake. The latest escalation in cross-border shelling has claimed the lives of at least 16 civilians, including women and children, since Wednesday.
The visuals of the damaged places of worship have surfaced online, showcasing the devastating impact of the Pakistani army’s aggression. The mosque, gurudwara, and temple were caught in the crossfire, resulting in significant damage to the structures and the surrounding areas.
According to reports, the Pakistani army started shelling the Indian side of the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch district on Wednesday, following the Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor. The operation was launched in response to a series of ceasefire violations by Pakistan, which has been escalating tensions along the LoC.
The Indian Army’s Operation Sindoor aimed to neutralize the Pakistani army’s attempts to infiltrate the Indian territory and disrupt the peace and tranquility of the region. The operation was successful in eliminating several Pakistani infiltrators and destroying their hideouts.
However, Pakistan’s army retaliated with artillery fire, targeting civilian areas and places of worship in Poonch district. The shelling caused widespread destruction, leaving many injured and displaced. The death toll has risen to at least 16, with many more still trapped under the debris.
The affected areas include the border towns of Mendhar, Doda, and Poonch, which have been bearing the brunt of Pakistan’s aggression. The locals have been forced to flee their homes, seeking shelter in safer areas.
The Indian government has condemned Pakistan’s actions, terming them as “unacceptable” and “inhuman”. The Ministry of Home Affairs has urged the international community to take notice of Pakistan’s actions and hold them accountable for their actions.
The Indian Army has vowed to continue its operations against Pakistani infiltrators and to defend the country’s borders against any aggression. The army has also appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to remain calm and to cooperate with the authorities in maintaining peace and order.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with many calling for a strong response to Pakistan’s aggression. The opposition parties have also slammed the government for its handling of the situation, demanding a more robust response to Pakistan’s actions.
The Pakistani army’s targeting of a mosque, a gurudwara, and a temple has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from across the country. The places of worship have been a sacred symbol of religious tolerance and coexistence, and their destruction has sparked deep concerns about the safety and security of minority communities in Pakistan.
The incident is a stark reminder of the fragile nature of peace and security in the region. The constant ceasefire violations and cross-border shelling have created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty among the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Pakistan’s actions have crossed a red line, and the Indian government and people will not tolerate such aggression. The international community must also take notice of Pakistan’s actions and hold them accountable for their human rights violations and aggression.
