Pakistan Army Targets Mosque, Gurudwara, Temple in J&K’s Poonch
In a shocking turn of events, visuals have surfaced online showing the devastating damage to a mosque, a temple, and a gurudwara in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district following cross-border shelling by the Pakistani army. This brutal attack has left at least 16 civilians, including women and children, dead since Wednesday.
The Pakistan army’s cross-border firing and shelling has resulted in widespread destruction and devastation in the region, with the mosque, temple, and gurudwara being the latest victims of the ongoing skirmishes. The visuals shared on social media show the extent of the damage, with debris and rubble scattered all over the premises.
The attack comes in the wake of Operation Sindoor, a military operation launched by the Indian army to neutralize Pakistani-backed terrorists in the region. The operation has been ongoing since Tuesday, with the Indian army making significant gains against the terrorists.
The Pakistani army’s response to the operation has been brutal and indiscriminate, with the shelling and firing targeting civilian areas and innocent people. The attack on the mosque, temple, and gurudwara is a clear example of the Pakistani army’s disregard for human life and its willingness to target religious institutions.
The mosque, located in the town of Mendhar, was severely damaged in the shelling, with the roof and walls destroyed. The temple, located in the nearby town of Surankote, was also targeted, with the idol of the deity destroyed and the premises damaged. The gurudwara, located in the town of Poonch, was also hit, with the windows and doors shattered and the walls damaged.
The attack has left the local population in a state of shock and fear. Many have been forced to flee their homes, seeking shelter in safer areas. The authorities have been working to evacuate the affected areas and provide relief to the affected families.
The Pakistani army’s actions have been widely condemned by the international community, with many countries expressing their concern over the violence and human rights abuses in the region. The Indian government has also strongly condemned the attack, with the Ministry of External Affairs issuing a statement calling for the Pakistani army to cease its aggression and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India.
The attack on the mosque, temple, and gurudwara is just the latest example of the Pakistani army’s willingness to target religious institutions and civilians. In recent years, there have been numerous incidents of Pakistani-backed terrorists targeting religious institutions and civilians in the region.
The international community must take immediate action to condemn the Pakistani army’s actions and hold them accountable for their crimes. The situation in Jammu and Kashmir is a pressing concern, and it is imperative that the world comes together to address this issue and ensure the safety and security of the people in the region.
