Pakistan doesn't seem to learn any lesson: Parrikar

Bengaluru, Jan 1 (IBNS): With Pakistani troops targetting Indian posts along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir on late Wednesday night, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Thursday said Pakistan does not seem to learn any lesson.

"Pakistan does not like to stay quiet even on New Year day. They started firing. They don't seem to learn (any) lesson," Parrikar said at an event.

"As a defence minister I would not like to comment much but will like to reply to them with guns," he added.

His statement came when Pakistani troops targetted 12 Indian posts along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir on late Wednesday night.

The incident took place at an area where cross border firing killed an Indian jawan and four Pakistani soldiers.

Sources said that a civilian was injured in mortar shelling by Pakistani troops through the night in Samba district, 41 km from Jammu.

This was the third ceasefire violation by Pakistani forces in past two days.

Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner to lodge a strong protest on the ‘unprovoked firing of the Indian troops’ in the Zafarwal Sector which killed two personnel of Pakistani Rangers.

The Government of Pakistan strongly condemned the action of the India’s Border Security Force (BSF) troops.

BSF Director General D. K. Pathak also briefed Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh about the ceasefire violations by Pakistan Rangers at the International Border in Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said.

Pathak informed that one BSF jawan was killed in the unprovoked and premeditated Pakistani firing.
