A spokesperson for Pakistan's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters. It has denied such claims in the past, saying it has given only political and diplomatic support to the insurgency. "Army and police launched an operation in Tanta Top village of Doda district today after intelligence inputs about presence of a group of militants in the area. The militants fired on the troops injuring a policeman. The gun battle is on," the official, who did not want to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media, said.
The latest violence has prompted criticism of Modi by opposition parties demanding action against the perpetrators.
