Pakistan a country of cowards: Jammu and Kashmir CM Nirmal Singh

Srinagar: Angered with the repeated ceasefire violation incidents, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Nirmal Singh on Monday said Pakistan is a country of cowards.

Hitting out at Pakistan, Singh said, "On one side they (Pakistan) show white flags and on the other hand target civilians."

A 10-year-old boy and a girl were killed and five other civilians injured on Monday in heavy shelling and firing by the Pakistan Army on the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.

Two Border Security Force (BSF) troopers and three civilians were injured when Pakistan Rangers resorted to heavy shelling on the international border in Jammu and Kashmir on September 23.
