Geneva: In a blunt message, India on Monday asked Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism and vacate illegal occupation of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir as it highlighted human rights violations in Balochistan, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh and persecution of minorities including Hindus.
“Pakistan is in illegal and forcible occupation of 78,000 sq kms (approx) of Indian Territory in Jammu & Kashmir”, it said.
According to the Military operations analyst, Lt General (r) Saleem Nawaz, the Indian army is not capable of stunning Pakistan with an unforeseen move.
“Pakistan has been continuously stabbing India in the back, be it Samba, Kathua, Gurdaspur, Udhampur, Pathankot and now Uri and we are tolerating all this without doing anything”, a protestor Pardeep Gupta said. “… We reserve the right to respond to any act of the adversary at a time and place of our own choosing”. The GPS data may now help in finding if the terrorists were from Pakistan.
Islamabad meanwhile accused New Delhi of trying to deflect attention from weeks of unrest in India-administered Kashmir with what it called “vitriolic and unsubstantiated statements”.
This was the third security review meeting he has chaired since the Uri attack and the situation in the border areas since Sunday, officials said. “The two Global Positioning System sets are likely to be sent to the USA to examine the exact route taken by the terrorists to infiltrate into India”, said an NIA official.
India’s plans to isolate Pakistan on the worldwide level were revitalised after an attack on Brigade Headquarters in Uri Town of Baramulla district in Indian-held Kashmir on Sunday.
On Monday more than 50 people were injured when security forces fired tear gas and pellet guns at protesters who defied a curfew in southern Kashmir, according to local police.

Launching their attack from the western side of the complex, the four-man assault team first shot a sentry, before three headed towards tents where the soldiers were billeted, and the two buildings. That attack dashed hopes of a revival of peace talks, which have been on ice ever since. The number of attempts has fallen sharply over the last decade.
