On May 1st, an old man was shot and killed in the Hajira sector of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. This man was the innocent casualty of firing over the Line of Control between Azad Kashmir and Indian Occupied Kashmir. According to police officials, Indian troops opened fire without provocation. Whether this is true or not, the peaceful stance taken up recently by the Prime Ministers of the two countries is not reflected in the situation at the Line of Control; where innocent lives are lost over decades-old hostility.
