RAJOURI, May 14: BJP senior leader and MLC Vibodh Gupta today strongly condemned the regular incidences of firing by Pakistan Army along the LoC specially in Nowshera sector.
In a statement issued here today he said that as a result of this the border people are paying a heavy price. The Pak Army personnel have gone to such a low level that they are targeting the civilians in these areas specially women and Children. By every passing day the sufferings of the people are increasing. The locals are unable to attend to their agriculture fields in this peak time of harvest, he added.
He said majority of the people depend on agriculture in the border areas for their livelihood. As a result of shelling and attacks by mortars the agricultural produce is getting damaged. As a result of this the border people are also loosing their only source of livelihood. The schools from many days in the border areas have been closed and this will have serious implications on the studies of the students, he added.
Vibodh said it is the high time for all the civilized societies of the world to isolate terrorists and inhumane nations like Pakistan. All these incidences of firing by Pak army on our civilian population is unacceptable. The whole State of Jammu & Kashmir is suffering as a result of this as in Kashmir due to regular militant activities and along LoC because of unprovoked firing. This is the high time that every citizen of this State irrespective of cast and religion should rise above and must speak in one voice against these barbaric incidences of firing by Pakistan, Vibodh added.
He said this is the only way to respond to a hostile and inhuman neighbour like Pakistan.
