The government has found that the pro -Pakistan social media account “false claims” are being removed from his post after Lieutenant General Kumar. Some reports also claimed that Lieutenant General Kumar was arrested or taken into custody for security flaws.

Tension between the two countries has increased as the terrorist relations of Islamabad came to light in the massacre of 26 civilians in Pahgam on 22 April. Terrorists who carried out the attack were called under the control of Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the 26/11 attack and the head of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taira Group.
Since the terrorist attack, Pakistan has been violating the ceasefire on the line of control with unsafe firing on the posts of Indian Army. In a major growth, his soldiers opened fire on the international border last night. Indian soldiers and LoC, who protected the border, effectively responded to the violation of all ceasefire.
Not only Pakistan’s army, but politicians and ministers are also giving stimulating statements. Latest Pakistan Information Minister Attaula Tarar claimed that India is planning a “military action” in the next 24-36 hours.
Sources show that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given the Indian armed forces an independent hand to set the goal and time of his response to the Pahalgam attack.
