As Pakistan resorted to fresh firing from across the border, Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said if anyone dares to cast an evil eye on India, security forces will give a fitting response.

"Our jawans are protecting the border with all their might. No one can dare cast an evil eye on India. Even if someone tries to do so, BSF and other security forces will give them a fitting reply," Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a meeting here.

The Home Minister Pakistan should desist from such violations and officials of both the countries have been in touch over the issue.
 

"Pakistan should not do this. Diplomats of both the countries remain in constant touch," Singh said, adding normalcy will return soon.

Pakistan Rangers today targeted 13 border outposts in Samba sector of Jammu and Kashmir drawing sharp reaction from India, a day after an Indian jawan and four Pakistani soldiers were killed in exchange of fire.

Meanwhile, Director General of Border Security Force D K Pathak briefed Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami about the prevailing situation along the border today where Pakistani Rangers launched fresh firing towards BSF posts.

Sources said said a total of five Pakistani Rangers personnel were killed and two critically injured in BSF firing.

BSF also destroyed terrorist launch pad across the border at Abhiyal Dogra but around 23-30 militants, who were stationed there escaped the firing from paramilitary force.
