An interesting report has emerged from Pakistan Media where they state that the Indian Army has killed seven innocent Kashmiris during a fierce, two-way gunbattle in Jammu and Kashmir – the highest number in a single day in recent years.
Police said the fighters belonged to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). The JeM reportedly claimed a suicide attack last month that killed 40 Indian paramilitary troopers in the Kashmir Valley and brought Pakistan and India to the brink of war.
Since the attack on February 14, Indian authorities say 22 militants have been killed in Jammu and Kashmir. Netizens have questioned how and why the innocent Kashmiri people were carrying guns and attacking the security forces.
