The India–Pakistan border skirmishes (2014–2015) were a series of armed skirmishes and firing exchanges between the Border Security Force and Pakistan Rangers along the Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Kashmir region, as well as Punjab. Started from mid-July 2014, military officials and media reports of both countries gave different accounts of the incidents, each accusing the other of initiating the hostilities. The incident sparked outrage both in Pakistan and India and harsh reactions by the Indian and Pakistan armed forces and governments.

Later in October 2014, the situation became aggressive, following which Indian Defence Minister Arun Jaitley urged Pakistan to stop "unprovoked" firing and warned that the response by India would be "unaffordable". His Pakistani counterpart, Khawaja Asif replied to the warning with subtle mention of "nuclear power" that the country would be able to respond "befittingly" to the "Indian aggression". On 12 October 2014, Pakistan's Foreign and National Security Adviser, Sartaj Aziz, sent a letter to UN and appealed to resolve the crises.[15] However, the United Nations ignored Pakistan's proposal to intervene in the crisis and reiterated that the dispute be resolved through bilateral discussions.[16]

In September 2015, a delegation headed by DG Rangers Maj. Gen. Umer Farooq visited India for biannual talks and both sides agreed to stop ceasefire violations. The DG BSF, Devendra Kumar headed the Indian delegation.[17] The Indian home minister Rajnath Singh told the Rangers delegation that "Indian forces will not fire the first bullet along the international border."[18] Rangers delegation raised the issue of killing of a Rangers personnel called for a flag meeting by Indian BSF fire earlier. The DG BSF guaranteed that no such incident would occur in the future again.[17] Both sides achieved consensus to conduct joint investigations if incidents occurred in the future and to further strengthen the border control.[17]

Reactions

India

The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "I want to assure the people that we will not let down our country" and 'everything will be fine soon'."[130][131] While then Defence Minister of India, Manohar Parrikar said that, "If Pakistan persists with this adventurism, our forces will make the cost of this adventurism unaffordable".[132][133] The Indian Home Minister, Rajnath Singh said that the Pakistan must stop ceasefire violations across the border, "times have changed in India".[29][134]

According to Indian claims, 18 militants were also killed[135] and 19 alleged militant camps destroyed in October.[136]

Pakistan

The Pakistani military officials and the government accused India of violating the ceasefire and opening fire in Pakistani territory, after which Pakistani military retaliated. Both condemned the LoC violation by Indian Army.[27][137] The Pakistani Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif responded to the Indian counterpart on 'unafforable adventurism', "We don't want to convert border tension between two nuclear neighbors into confrontation".[138][139][140]

In a rally in Multan, Pakistani politician Imran Khan stated that "Modi had been given a mandate by the Indian people, but if he chooses to use it for war, then he will regret it." Unofficial statement issues by the ISPR, Chairman joint chiefs General Rashad Mahmood reportedly marked that Narendra Modi is threat to peace and if he wants war then he will see just what the unified Pakistani military will do to India. On 12 October 2014, Pakistan's National Security Adviser (NSA), Sartaj Aziz, sent letter to UN and appealed to resolve the crises.[15] However, the United Nations rejected Pakistan's proposal to intervene in the crisis and reiterated that the dispute be resolved through bilateral discussions.[16]

According to claim by the Director-General of Pakistan Rangers Major-General Tahir Javaid Khan, India fired close to 30,000 mortar rounds between 2010 and 2014.[141] He also said Indian violation of ceasefire was up to the intensity of fighting a small-scale war.[141]

On 31 December, National Security Adviser Sartaj Aziz directed a letter through the Embassy of Pakistan, New Delhi, to External Minister Sushma Swaraj protesting the "breach of trust" over the killing of two Rangers personnel.[142] In response to letter, External Minister Sushma Swaraj reportedly dismissed Pakistan allegations.[143]

On 28 August 2015, the chief of army staff General Raheel Sharif reportedly quoted, "Indian ceasefire violations, targeting of civilians is "highly unprofessional, unethical, irresponsible and cowardly."[144]

World

United Nations- On 9 October 2014, United Nations general secretary Ban Ki-moon's spokesperson issued a statement that he wants the both countries "to engage constructively to find a long-term solution for peace and stability in Kashmir".[145][146]
