Pak Commandos Involved In J&K Encounter Suspects Indian Army

Some sources in the Indian Army and J&K police have said that there is an involvement of Pakistani commandos in the recent fight between security forces and the group of terrorists in the jungles of the Poonch district of Jammu & Kashmir. In the J&K encounter, 9 soldiers, which also included 2 Junior Commissioned Officers, have been killed while fighting the terrorists. The fight that continued for at least 8 days has been the deadliest encounter for India's military in recent years. The source, requesting not to be named, said: "The group of terrorists may also include Pakistani commandos. But we will only know for sure once they are shot down," The reason that suggests the involvement of Pakistani commandos is due to the fact that the infiltrators were able to inflict heavy casualties and managed to evade so many security forces. As per some sources, terrorists might have been cornered by the army's para commandos and helicopters. Security forces are hoping that the encounter will end sooner than later.  https://youtu.be/k1CS5WjPIl8

In an exclusive chat, Mr Ushpiz said: "We want very much to look into how can the situation in the Middle East have an India angle to it? How can we incorporate India into the opportunities that are emerging? Normally this region is flooded with threats and challenges.

This is really a strategic earthquake," Interestingly, Mr Alon also hinted at the formation of a 2nd QUAD and said that while no country in the QUAD has approached Israel, it is ready to engage with 'anyone'.

Based on a complaint made by Dalit rights activist and lawyer Rajat Kalsan on 14th February against the former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh over derogatory remarks made by the cricketer against the Dalit community, Yuvraj Singh was briefly arrested as part of the investigation.

Taking to Twitter, Yuvraj clarified: "This is to clarify that I have never believed in any kind of disparity, be it on the basis of caste, colour, creed or gender. I have given and continue to spend my life for the welfare of people. I believe in the dignity of life and respect each individual without exception. I understand that while I was having a conversation with my friends, I was misunderstood, which was unwarranted. However, as a responsible Indian, I want to say that if I have unintentionally hurt anybody's sentiments or feelings, I would like to express regret for the same. My love for India and all its people is eternal,"  https://youtu.be/3dFhHfchWBo
