Indian shelling hits more villages, wounds 1 in Azad Kashmir





In its second week of continued shelling, Indian forces targeted Chowki, Marohta and adjacent villages of Kotli’s Khuiratta sector.



The shelling, which started on Sunday evening and continued for hours, wounded Hadiqa Faiz, a 19-year-old resident of Chowki, a village about 5 kilometers from the line of control.



“Indian Army fired 19 rockets in about five hours and one targeted our house”, Raja Anwaar, a resident of the village said.



“It smashed the parapet, damaged the vehicle and destroyed the water tank, doors, and windows”, Anwaar added.



Sunday’s firing was second “heaviest shelling” after last week's shelling which wounded 8, according to the residents of the area.



“The silence of politicians, Pakistan army, media and peace organizations is ironic”, a local said.



Pakistan Inter services Public Relation office did not issue any press release about the shelling.

Why is Kashmir engulfed in political crisis?





Political crisis brews in India-held Kashmir as police files murder charges against army after recent killings in Shopian.

According to different news outlets, the coalition government of India’s ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party and the local People’s Democratic Party is drifting apart.

An FIR was launched by Jammu and Kashmir Police against an army unit over the shooting of two civilians in Shopian district of south Kashmir last month.

The alliance is in trouble as BJP is vehemently supporting the army while PDP wants a police investigation and magisterial probe into the killing of two youth.

The army, however, is protected by a special act called Armed Forces Special Powers Act or AFSPA, which gives it sweeping powers to shoot to kill or destroy a building on mere suspicion.
