Modi gives free hand to forces over Pak ceasefire violation
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reported to have given the security apparatus a "free hand" in dealing with Pakistan, a brief that was picked up by Home Minister Rajnath Singh when he asked the Border Security Force to return Pakistan's firing with full force.
The Prime Minister is expected to hold a late-night meeting on Wednesday with Home Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and senior defence officers over continued ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops since Monday Doval met senior defence officials earlier on Wednesday to assess the situation along the Line of Control.
At least seven people have died and over 30 injured since Monday in the latest violation in Kashmir since India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire in 2003, forcing thousands of residents in the area to take shelter in Army camps and other places.
The BSF on Wednesday said it has captured a 80-year-old Pakistani national from the RS Pura sector in Jammu and Kashmir. The man is reported to be mentally unstable.
BJP, Congress exchange barbs over ceasefire violation
The BJP chief Amit Shah, during a rally in poll-bound Haryana, said, "Earlier, Pakistan used to start as well end the firing against India. Now Pakistan begins it and India ends it."
"Pakistan is no more Pakistan. It has become Shaitanistan and Atankistan," the BJP spokesperson Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Wednesday.
The opposition Congress attacked the Centre over the escalation in tension along the border. Party vice-president attacked Modi, saying he has done nothing to stop the deaths on the border despite "many provocations".
"Before the Lok Sabha polls, Modi used to speak of adopting an aggressive approach towards China and Pakistan. Now, despite so many provocations, the PM is not doing anything for the last three months," he said during his rally for the October 15 Maharashtra Assembly elections at Mahad in Raigad district.
"It is a matter of utmost shame that a small country like Pakistan is able to do these things with impunity. The PM is busy making jingositic statements. We want to know the specific steps he has taken to check the ceasefire violations," Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said.

I was wondering why it wasn't picked up any of the Indian WAB members yet. Are we expecting this to go any further or just both sides back off after sometime and from the looks of it India won't be backing off first. Pakistan started it India will end it.
