Pakistan Army Targets Mosque, Gurudwara, Temple in J&K’s Poonch
Tensions have reached a boiling point along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, with Pakistan army targeting several religious places, including a mosque, a gurudwara, and a temple. The recent escalation in violence has resulted in the loss of innocent lives, with at least 16 civilians, including women and children, killed in shelling and firing by Pakistan since Wednesday.
The shocking visuals of the damaged religious places have surfaced online, revealing the extent of the destruction caused by the Pakistani army’s unprovoked attack. The images show debris-strewn streets, shattered windows, and damaged buildings, with the word “Pakistan” and “Taliban” scribbled on the walls in red paint. The brazen attack has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation from all quarters, with people across the country calling for an immediate end to the violence.
According to reports, the Pakistani army targeted the religious places in the Poonch district’s Balakote sector, causing widespread damage and chaos. The attack is believed to be a retaliatory measure against India’s Operation Sindoor, a counter-terrorism operation launched by the Indian Army to neutralize terrorist launchpads along the LoC.
Eyewitnesses have described the attack as “savage” and “barbaric,” with many calling it a “clear violation of international humanitarian law.” The Pakistani army’s targeting of religious places has been widely condemned by human rights organizations and international community, with many calling for an immediate ceasefire and a return to dialogue.
The attack has also sparked concerns about the safety and security of civilians in the region, with many feeling trapped and helpless in the midst of the violence. The Pakistani army’s shelling and firing have also disrupted essential services, including power and water supply, leaving many without access to basic necessities.
As the situation continues to deteriorate, the Indian government has threatened to take stern action against Pakistan, with sources indicating that the country is preparing for a major military operation to target terrorist launchpads along the LoC. The Pakistani army, meanwhile, has been warned to desist from further aggression, with the Indian military gearing up to respond to any future attacks.
The attack on religious places has also raised questions about the Pakistani army’s intentions and motivations. Many believe that the attack is part of a larger strategy to create chaos and instability in the region, with the ultimate goal of distracting attention from the country’s own internal issues and human rights abuses.
In the face of this escalating violence, it is imperative that the international community comes together to condemn the Pakistani army’s actions and calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The targeting of religious places is a grave violation of human rights and international law, and those responsible must be held accountable.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is essential that the Indian government takes a firm and decisive stance against Pakistan’s aggression, while also working to protect the safety and security of civilians in the region. The people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve to live in peace and security, free from the fear of violence and terrorism.
