JAMMU: Amid a spurt in armed exchanges on the border, BSF chief K K Sharma today said Pakistani forces are deliberately trying to “create a flash point” to facilitate infiltration of militants into India and asserted that these designs will be foiled.
He insisted that BSF never initiates ceasefire violations nor does it target civilian areas, a comment that assumes significance in the wake of Pakistan army’s claim that two people, including a minor girl, were killed in firing by Indian troops.
“They (Pakistani forces) deliberately create such flash points with an aim of engineering infiltration,” he told reporters here while commenting on the intensified cross- border shelling and firing by Pakistani troops.
“You can say that they (Pakistani troops) always try to create a flash point so that they get an excuse to go for action,” Sharma added after laying wreath on mortal remains of BSF Head Constable Sushil Kumar who was killed in Pakistani shelling in R S Pura sector this morning. (AGENCIES)
