2/17/2018 11:23:51 PM
Early Times Report Jammu, Feb 17: Jammu and Kashmir is the only place in the world where FIR is registered against Army for firing in self defence to protect their colleagues from the stone-pelters. And it's the only state where amnesty is given to the anti-national elements, who support terrorists, and separatists. In other countries there is only one punishment for stone-pelters i.e. "Kill them" and teach their families a lesson. It's in place to mention here that Army soldiers had fired in self defence when a mob comprising around 300 stone-pelters surrounded an army vehicle at Shopian in south Kashmir last month.
