A week after Indian Army conducted surgical strikes and destroyed seven
launch pads in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Pakistan has stepped up
cross-border firing and violated ceasefire at the Line of Control for at
least 25 times. As Indian Army jawans are on high alert following the
protocols issued by Ministry of Home Affairs, Pakistan is left red-faced
on the international forum as not a single country has come forward to
support them. Also in the wake of the increasing ceasefire violations at
the LoC, the Border Security Force (BSF) has increased vigilance and
had also deployed more troops at the international border (IB). People
living near the border areas along the LoC, especially those living in
Punjab’s International Border, have been evacuated and moved to safer
places. In 2015, Pakistan violated ceasefire for at least 405 times in
which 16 civilians were killed and 71 others were injured. Out of 405,
253 incidents of ceasefire violations took place along the IB and 152
incidents were reported along the LoC.

Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane reacts to Uri attack, while Fawad Khan is still quiet!
Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane, who debuted with the movie Sanam Teri Kasam
in Bollywood, has reacted to the Uri attack in India’s Jammu and
Kashmir state. The Uri attack was carried out by militants allegedly
trained by Pakistan. The attack killed 19 Indian soldiers who were
sleeping – some were burnt to death. This resulted in nationwide furore
and everybody started condemning Pakistan and its actors and singers who
regularly get work in Bollywood. Even as open letters were written to
the most loved Pakistani actor in India currently, Fawad Khan,
on his silence on the Uri attack, a nationwide debate began whether
artistes from the neighbouring country should be allowed to work in
India or not. Pakistani actress Mahira Khan
finally reacted to the India-Pakistan conflict by resharing a post by
Pakistani girl Alizay Jaffer, preaching love and peace. And now, Mawra
Hocane has also reacted to the Uri attack on India. She said on Twitter,
“I strongly condemn all terror attacks We must realise that a life
lost is a LIFE LOST!The world needs to stand together against terrorism!”

Surgical Strikes: Why Arvind Kejriwal’s demand for evidence holds merit
There has been a lot of talk about whether India should release evidence
of the surgical strikes or not. With the Indian Army giving the green
signal to the government to release the footage of the strikes, it is
now solely a matter of how careful or how bold the Narendra Modi
government can dare to be. Besides the obvious dangers of the releasing
the evidence that have been highlighted by the experts, many have raised
questions on the doubt itself. Any one and every one treating the
surgical strikes with skepticism, is being branded as anti-national, as
happened with Sanjay Nirupam and Arvind Kejriwal. Although, one can
easily write-off Nirupam’s attempts at nay saying, Kejriwal’s appeal to
the PM holds merit.

Aamir Khan on Aap Ki Adalat: Twitter support Dangal star’s ‘tolerant’ statement
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan once again
grabbed eye balls for his statement on nationalism and tolerance.
However, this time we seem to have accepted the positive take on the
country from the actor. The Dangal star on Aap Ki Adalat said
India is very tolerant although there are people who spread distress in
the community. He also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to look
into the issue. Even after being taken down from as the brand ambassador
of government’s tourism project, Incredible India he said that he still
continued to the brand ambassador of India. Talking on the show, Khan
said, “Our country is very tolerant, but there are people who spread
ill-will…Those who speak of breaking up this vast country, such people
are present in all religions, only Modiji can stop them. After all,
Modiji is our PM, we have to tell him.”
The actor recently garnered the
attention after his statement on intolerance in India was highly
criticised. Bollywood was also divided on the issue with actors like
Anupam Kher and Akshay Kumar talking sternly against Aamir Khan’s strong
viewpoints. He along with his wife Kiran Rao were asked to leave India
for not being patriotic. Khan also clarified that he was wrongly quoted
and said,”I never said India was intolerant, I was wrongly quoted…To say
about rising intolerance and to say India is intolerant are two
different things.
