On January 8, 2013, Pakistani soldiers illegally entered Indian territory through the Poonch sector attacked an Indian patrol team and eventually killed two soldiers. They went ahead and beheaded one of the soldiers too.

This cold-blooded murder is not only inhuman but is also against the international conventions on armed conflicts. A few days later, Pakistani troops organised another series of attacks. In spite of a flag meeting, Pakistan violated the ceasefire agreement and entered the Indian side of the LOC, not once but five times! Against this backdrop, our PM continued to have a soft approach and announced restrictions on the visa-on-arrival facility for Pakistani citizens.
