The Pakistani army opened on Thursday at several locations along the Line of Control (LOC) in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian army immediately took revenge, causing the attack to prevent effectively.
Military sources told NDTV that Pakistan aimed different Indian posts. Their troops started with a handfire fire along the locomotive, but Indian security forces responded, without reporting victims.
The exchange of fire came two days after the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, killed 26 people. In response, India has taken strict action, including the expulsion of Pakistani military confirmations, suspension of the Indus water treaty and the closure of the Attari Land-Transit Post, stating “cross-border ties” with the Pahalgam attack.
What is locomotive
The line of control is a de facto limit that separates the Indian and Pakistani armies in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The locomotive was created after the SIMLA agreement of 1972 and is a bilaterally agreed military line and not a legally recognized limit.
The locomotive pays the points to identify Pakistan usage Kashmir (POK) and India's Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The Ladakh trade union area was established after the abolition of Article 370 in 2019 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-conducted NDA government. Before 2019, Ladakh was part of Jammu and Kashmir.
History of the locomotive and where is it?
The origin of the existing locomotive can be traced to the first Stakten-Vire line (CFL) that was founded after the war between India-Pakistan of 1947, which lasted until 1948.
On October 27, 1947, a 1 Sikh battalion landed in Srinagar, with which the military operations of India Jammu and Kashmir were defended against the Tribale Raiders (known as Lashkars) supported by Pakistan. The war, which started just after Jammu and Kashmir had joined India, lasted until the end of 1948.
In 1949 a non-bi-average cease-fire was announced, after which the Karachi agreement of 1949 was signed between the two armies, those who defined points that would define the de facto boundary between the two countries in Jammu and Kashmir.
The military representatives of India and Pakistan met in Karachi in July 1949. The meeting was for “military purposes” and “political issues were not taken into consideration”.
“That the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan, in her letter of 2 July 1949, invited the governments of India and Pakistan to send fully authorized military representatives to meet together in Karachi in Karachi under the auspices of the committee of the State Jamku-Vire-Fire line By the governments of India and Pakistan, “ Read the text of agreement.
It was decided that 1 January 1949 would be the closing date for the establishment of the Stakten-Het-Furenlijn, which starts at Manawar in Jammu near Akhnoor, north to Kupwara-district in Kashmir and then walks to the east in the direction of the glacier region, which is now in Ladakh. NJ9842 was the last point marked on the CFL because the areas north to the glaciers were considered 'inaccessible'.
The exact formulation of the agreement that identifies the start and end point of the CFL is as follows: “The ceasefire line runs from Manawar in the south, north to Keran and from Keran East to the Glacier area.”
“A period of 30 days from the date of ratification must be permitted on each side to leave the areas occupied by them outside the ceasefires as determined now. Before this period of 30 days there are no forward movement in areas that are taken over by both parties on the basis of this agreement, except by mutual agreement between local commanders.”
The hostilities between the countries continued, and in 1965 Pakistan violated the agreement and crossed the CFL. The war, which had two phases -Operation Gibraltar and Operation Grand Slam (the name of Pakistan in his operation -ended in September with a ceasefire -which was followed by the signing of the Tashkent agreement
1971 War and location of LOC
Six years later, in 1971, Pakistan's brutal action against his Bengal population in the east led to a two-week war on the two fronts of India-the West and the East. The crisis reached a climax with one of the most important wars in modern history, which led to the splitting of Pakistan into two and the founding of Bangladesh and the surrender of 93,000 Pakistani troops in Dhaka.
On the Westfront, after a unilateral stopped -the fire on December 17, 1971 was declared by India, the shooting stopped and the war ended. Almost 7 months later, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Pakistan Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto met in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, on July 2, 1972 to sign the Simla agreement.
The SIMLA agreement was a peace treaty that was aimed at “putting an end to the conflict and confrontation that has so far affected their relationships and have affected work for the promotion of a friendly and harmonious relationship and the establishment of sustainable peace in the subcontinent.”
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto van Pakistan signed the agreement in 1972.
The Simla agreement had an important clause with regard to the Line of Control (LOC) between India and Pakistan.
Subsections 1 and 2 of Clause 4 of the Simla Agreement -State:
To initiate the process of establishing sustainable peace, both governments agree that:
(1) Indian and Pakistani armed forces will be withdrawn on their side of the international border.
(2) In Jammu and Kashmir, the line of control as a result of the Stakes-Fires of December 17, 1971 is respected by both sides without prejudice of the recognized position from both sides. Neither parties will try to change the one -sided, regardless of mutual differences and legal interpretations. Both parties continue to renounce the threat or use of violence in violation of this line.
(3) The recordings start after the entry into force of this agreement and will be completed within a period of 30 days.
The control that now exists is based on the Stakes-Vurenlijn of December 17, 1971. During the war, India took several areas in the western sector across the border with Punjab and regions in Pakistan-used Kashmir, one of which was in sub-sector West (SSW), which lies southeast of the Siachen Glacierch and Uri.
India took Turtuk back from the occupation of Pakistan. According to the CFL of 1949, this remote village was under the Pakistani occupation, but after 1971 Turtuk had his return home.
While the existing locomotive had its roots in the CFL of 1949, the two military boundaries differ in the definition of the territory. The first was a mutually agreed de facto limit, and the latter is a non-average military line.
Pakistan threatens the simla agreement
Yesterday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was chairman of a rare National Security Committee (NSC) meeting and took various decisions in which the committee said that it “exercises the right to keep all bilateral similarities with India, but not limited to the SIMLA agreement in Aweyance.”
The announcement of Pakistan is considerable because the Simla agreement is decisive that the cease -the fire line is known as the line of control. If Pakistan suspend the Simla agreement, it will raise a question about the validity of the line of control.
