Lahore: Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has defended the firing and killing of protesters in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), saying he considers them “enemies” like India. “I put the protesters of Azad Kashmir in the same category as India and consider them also as enemies like India,” Asif said after India accused Pakistan of oppression and brutality against civilians following fresh reports of firing by Pakistani security forces. ADVERTISEMENTWith law and order situation having collapsed in PoJK, around 30 people have been killed since Monday. Since protests began on June 5 and Pakistani military’s crackdown, more than 80 people have been killed in PoJK. India issued a fresh statement on Tuesday criticising Pakistani military over the reported firing on civilians.
