5 (Indian) Army soldiers killed in Jammu and Kashmir,
ambushed by terrorists at ‘blind curve’
India Today, December 22, 2023:
Five soldiers were killed and two injured when heavily-armed terrorists ambushed two Army vehicles in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district on Thursday, officials told news agency PTI. The attack took place at Dhatyar Morh between Dhera Ki Gali and Bufliaz around 3:45 pm, officials said.
Sources told India Today TV that the Dhatyar Morh location in Poonch district was chosen by terrorists to attack as the Army vehicles slowed down at this point due to a blind curve and bumpy road. The terrorists positioned themselves atop a hill at Dhatyar Morh between Dhera Ki Gali and Bufliaz, from where they fired bullets at the two Army vehicles, sources said.
Terrorists may have done a recee at the attack site where the two Army vehicles — a truck and a Maruti Gypsy — were ambushed, sources said, adding that three or four of them were believed to be involved in the attack.
The Army vehicles were ambushed by the terrorists at Dhatyar Morh when they slowed down at the blind curve. Security forces had retaliated, but terrorists managed to flee from that location, sources further said. (…)
Meanwhile, Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector-General (IG) Ashok Yadav said soldiers were alert and cautious in the border area to eliminate any attempts of infiltration by terrorists.
He said 250 to 300 terrorists were waiting to infiltrate India according to intelligence inputs, adding that security forces were ready to prepare for any eventuality…
Blasphemy Charge Devastates Christian Family
in Pakistan
Morning Star News, November 29, 2023:
LAHORE, Pakistan (Morning Star News) – A court in Pakistan this month granted bail to a Christian falsely charged with blasphemy, but he and his family have separated and gone into hiding amid threats to their lives, sources said.
Haroon Shahzad, 45, was released from Sargodha District Jail on Nov. 15, said his attorney, Aneeqa Maria. Shahzad was charged with blasphemy on June 30 after posting Bible verses on Facebook that infuriated Muslims, causing dozens of Christian families in Chak 49 Shumaali, near Sargodha in Punjab Province, to flee their homes.
Lahore High Court Judge Ali Baqir Najfi granted bail on Nov. 6, but the decision and his release on Nov. 15 were not made public until now due to security fears for his life, Maria said.
Shahzad told Morning Star News by telephone from an undisclosed location that the false accusation has changed his family’s lives forever.
“My family has been on the run from the time I was implicated in this false charge and arrested by the police under mob pressure,” Shahzad told Morning Star News. “My eldest daughter had just started her second year in college, but it’s been more than four months now that she hasn’t been able to return to her institution. My other children are also unable to resume their education as my family is compelled to change their location after 15-20 days as a security precaution.”
Mob pressure is another term for Islamic Hysteria.
Though he was not tortured during incarceration, he said, the pain of being away from his family and thinking about their well-being and safety gave him countless sleepless nights.
“All of this is due to the fact that the complainant, Imran Ladhar, has widely shared my photo on social media and declared me liable for death for alleged blasphemy,” he said in a choked voice. “As soon as Ladhar heard about my bail, he and his accomplices started gathering people in the village and incited them against me and my family. He’s trying his best to ensure that we are never able to go back to the village.”
Another example of Islamic Hysteria.
Shahzad has met with his family only once since his release on bail, and they are unable to return to their village in the foreseeable future, he said.
“We are not together,” he told Morning Star News. “They are living at a relative’s house while I’m taking refuge elsewhere. I don’t know when this agonizing situation will come to an end.”
Only when you leave Pakistan. "Come out of her my people!"
The Christian said the complainant, said to be a member of Islamist extremist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan and also allegedly connected with banned terrorist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, filed the charge because of a grudge. Shahzad said he and his family had obtained valuable government land and allotted it for construction of a church building, and Ladhar and others had filed multiple cases against the allotment and lost all of them after a four-year legal battle….
This is how Pakistan's blasphemy laws are blatantly abused. It appears from recent cases that the judicial system is learning this and has some empathy toward abused Christians.
