Technically, it is Indian territory - so it's not a big deal if they did.
you are right, maiming and/or killing innocent people is standard activity for a good chunk of the occupying forces
as for being ''indian territory'' --that is definitely far from the truth

It is Indian territory and if these people were not ethnic Kashmiris then they are illegal immigrants from Pakistan.
That's because civilians are not allowed beyond a certain limit near LOC and military takes control on BOTH the sides. Since you said that the firing was opened by Indian Army, this means that clearly small arms were used. An average INSAS assault rifle's range is similar to AK-74U and M-4 meaning at an engaging distance of 900-1400 feet.
Considering the border limitations, NONE of the civilians are supposed to be this close to the bordering areas on BOTH sides; meaning that either your military didn't follow the orders and keep your civilians at bay or that this "rally" was not civilian entirely but separatists' cover to send in militants in the form of a "political rally".
What was Pakistani army or Rangers doing at that time? Why keep your civilians so close to the border when military distrust is present? 1400 feet to LOC is damn close and that's not really a good enough story by your media people.
Since you're a reporter, do tell your correspondent friends to come up with a more researched story of military technicalities before inventing such nonsense.
If the IA opened fire, what were your civilians doing in military designated areas of your own territory? It means either the troops didn't consider their safety or they just didn't listen to you soldiers which is impossible.
Can't you come up with a better made-up story that can at least resemble truth with some technicalities that show reason? really!
fascinating....you mind informing me about ''ethnic indians'' and how they are laying claim to a disputed territory consisting of ethnic Kashmiris --a ridiculous claim that will see no fruition or realization
Tch tch!
You forgot something.
The IA men could have crossed onto our side as they always do that.
