Enraged Pakistan opened fire after Asian Games hockey loss: BSF sources
New Delhi: In the light of relentless ceasefire violations along the Line of Control and the International Border, BSF sources have said that Pakistani forces started firing soon after India defeated Pakistan to win gold in Asian Games on October 2.
BSF sources have also informed that deployment on the Pakistan side is increasing even as India has issued it's toughest warning yet to Pakistan.
Defence Minister Arun Jaitley warned that if Pakistan continued unprovoked firing, they would not be able to bear the cost of this adventurism.
BSF Director General G DK Pathak met Home Secretary Anil Goswami on Thursday to discuss the disturbing development.
On the other side, Sartaj Aziz, the advisor to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, told CNN-IBN that it is India that is indulging in unprovoked firing. The Paksitan National Security Council is likely to meet on Friday.
Sources have said that Nawaz Sharif is under pressure to put an end to the firing at the earliest.
Sources have also informed that Pakistani Rangers did not expect the level of retaliation shown by BSF personnel. India's deployment at the International Border, too, is double to that of Pakistan.
