Six days ago there was a terrorist attack in Kashmir, as a result of which 26 people were killed. India immediately accused Pakistan of relationships with the perpetrators of the attack, which Islamabad strongly denied.
In India, appeals have appeared for a definite response to Pakistan, inhabited mainly by Muslims. New Delhi has been accusing Islamabad for years to support the rebellion in Kashmir – a region that two countries have already fought for two countries – Reuters reminds.
“We have strengthened forces because (India invasion – note) is now inevitable. In this situation, some strategic decisions must be made and they have been made” Asif said. The minister also informed that the army gave the government a warning about the risk of attack on the part of India, but – as the agency noted – did not give the reasons why it was recognized that “invasion is inevitable.”
After the attack, India indicated two bombers as citizens of Pakistan. Islamabad rejected these accusations and appealed to conducting an independent investigation.
Asif assured that Pakistan maintains the highest state of readiness, but the use of nuclear weapons will only take place in the case of a “direct threat to the existence of the country.
The dispute over Kashmir is getting worse
In recent days, India and Pakistan – both with nuclear weapons – exchange mutual allegations and implement retaliation. After the coup, India closed the land border with Pakistan, broke the agreement on the division of water resources and reduced the level of diplomatic relations. Pakistan replied, excreting Indian diplomats and military advisers, annuling visas for India citizens and closing one of the main border crossings. The UN Security Council appealed to both sides for “maximum restraint”.
The disputed cashmere, inhabited mainly by Muslims, remains divided – part of the region is controlled by India, part of Pakistan. Dividing line, so -called The control line, separates the Indian Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir from areas administered by Pakistan.
Since 1989, in the Indian part of Kashmir there has been a rebellion against the power of New Delhi, which has already consumed tens of thousands of victims. India accuses Pakistan of supporting it.
