Pakistan Army Targets Mosque, Gurudwara, Temple in J&K’s Poonch
The ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan have taken a devastating turn in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district, where Pakistani army has allegedly targeted a mosque, a temple, and a gurudwara, causing significant damage. The shocking visuals of the damaged religious structures have surfaced online, leaving many shaken and outraged.
The incident is believed to have occurred in the wake of Operation Sindoor, a major military operation launched by the Indian Army to tackle the Pakistani aggression. The Pakistani army has been shelling and firing at Indian positions along the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch, resulting in the death of at least 16 civilians, including women and children, since Wednesday.
The Pakistani aggression has not only caused human casualties but also destroyed critical infrastructure, including religious institutions. The mosque, temple, and gurudwara, which are sacred to millions of people, have been severely damaged, leaving the community in a state of shock and grief.
The mosque, which is located in the heart of Poonch town, was hit by Pakistani shelling, causing significant damage to the structure. The temple, which is a revered Hindu pilgrimage site, was also targeted, with the Pakistan army allegedly firing mortar shells and rockets at the complex. The gurudwara, which is a sacred Sikh shrine, was also hit, with reports suggesting that the structure was damaged by Pakistani shelling and firing.
The Pakistani aggression has been widely condemned by political leaders and citizens across India, who have called for stern action against Pakistan. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also weighed in on the issue, terming the Pakistani aggression as “unacceptable” and calling for an end to the shelling and firing.
The Pakistani army’s targeting of religious institutions is particularly egregious, as it is a violation of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law. The destruction of religious structures and the killing of civilians are war crimes, and those responsible must be held accountable.
The incident has also raised questions about the efficacy of the Indian government’s handling of the situation. While the Indian Army has been taking strong action against Pakistani aggression, the government’s response to the crisis has been criticized for being slow and inadequate.
The people of Poonch are reeling from the shock and trauma caused by the Pakistani aggression. The incident has also raised concerns about the safety and security of civilians in the region, who are caught in the crossfire between the two armies.
In the wake of the incident, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has announced a compensation package for the affected families, with Chief Minister L.G. Sinha assuring that the government will provide all necessary support to the victims.
The incident is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war and conflict on civilians, particularly women and children. It is essential that the international community takes notice of the Pakistani aggression and demands an end to the shelling and firing.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial that the Indian government takes strong and decisive action to protect the people of Jammu and Kashmir and ensure their safety and security. The Pakistani army’s targeting of religious institutions is a grave violation of human rights and international law, and those responsible must be held accountable.
