RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Army has
killed more than 60
Indian soldiers during firing at the Line of Control (LoC)
since February 27, Director General Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor said on Saturday.On February 27, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) had shot down two
Indian aircraft which had violated Pakistan’s airspace. An
Indian pilot was also arrested but he was later released by Pakistan as a goodwill gesture.Tweeting from his personal account, Gen Asif Ghafoor said many
Indian troops were also injured and their bunkers destroyed by the Pakistani forces
since the February tit-for-tat airstrikes.“Since 27 Feb 19 Pak Army has
killed over 60
Indian soldiers on LoC besides injuring many & destroying their bunkers. Artillery gun positions also damaged forced to relocate. 2 IAF Jets shot down by PAF, 2 helis met fratricide under fear.
Indian Navy under deterrence," he wrote.He noted that
since February the PAF had downed two
Indian Air Force jets, two
Indian helicopters had "met fratricide under fear" and the
Indian navy was "under deterrence". His tweet was accompanied by the hashtag #CostForCDS.CDS is a proposed position for the combined head of the
Indian armed forces or point person of government on the three services.Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat is frontrunner and he is trying to make it to the post by promoting war hysteria against Pakistan and getting his men
killed and military hardware damaged at the Line of Control.In a statement on Friday, General Asif said the
Indian army chief was reputedly provoking war through his irresponsible statements endangering regional peace for electioneering of his political masters. "From fake surgical strike to-date, his only success has been to turn the
Indian army into a rogue force and get them killed," he said on twitter. He said General Bipin Rawat’s statement coupled with the blood of innocent people on hands, losses to
Indian forces at the hands of Pakistan armed forces, heli crashes due to so-called technical fault cum fratricide just to become
Indian CDS was actually at the cost of professional military ethos.
