Army Chief General Bipin Rawat will visit Srinagar on Friday, for the first time since the revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. The visit is aimed at reviewing the security situation and preparedness of security forces deployed to deal with any law and order situation in the region.

General Rawat's visit to Srinagar comes at a time when Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) sources said that internet services in the Valley are unlikely to be restored soon as Pakistan has launched a vitrioliccampaign against India and Pakistani security agencies are using provocative video messages on social media platforms to create unrest in India.

According to Media sources, it has been revealed that Pakistani officers were found shooting fake videos in Pakistan occupied Kashmir(PoK) wherein it can be seen that some men wearing uniforms of Indian security forces, were committing atrocities against people.

Earlier on Thursday, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)spokesperson Raveesh Kumar slammed Pakistani leaders, saying that Indiastrongly condemns the irresponsible statements delivered by the leaders of theneighbouring countries on internal matters of the nation.

The MEA spokesperson further said that Pakistan's onlymotive is to show the global community that the situation in Kashmir isalarming after the abrogation of Article 370 and Article 35A and all the tweetsand statements made by Pakistani leaders are focused in peddling thispropaganda only.

On the prevailing situation in the Valley, Kumar said thatthe improvement has been gradual, but positive, which is the reality on theground. Kumar further said that peace has been restoring in Jammu and Kashmiras not a single bullet has been fired and not a single life has been lost.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh who visited Ladakh, the newlycreated Union Territory of India, on Thursday took to Twitter and warnedPakistan to not indulge in an unsubstantiated and vitriolic talk on Jammu andKashmir.

"Pakistan has no Locus Standi in Kashmir. The countryis illegally occupying Gilgit-Baltistan along with Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir.Our Parliament had in 1994 unanimously passed a resolution that the entireKashmir valley belongs to India and our stand on it is clear. I want to askPakistan - when was Kashmir with Pakistan? Pakistan was created out of India.We respect the existence of Pakistan. But it does not mean that Pakistan canspeak anything that it wants to about Kashmir. Kashmir will always remain withIndia and it should have no doubt about it. Pakistan should ensure that thehuman rights of the people living in PoK is not violated," Singh tweeted.

Pakistan has adopted a high-pitched scathing verbal attackagainst India ever since PM Narendra Modi-led government abrogated Article 370and Article 35A from Jammu and Kashmir which ended the former state's specialstatus. It has been constantly appealing to the international community for theirsupport and intervention.

However, all the major world powers including the US,Russia, United Kingdom, France, and many Islamic nations have supported Indiaon this issue by maintaining that Article 370 is an internal issue of India andthe Modi government was justified in taking any decision regarding the same.
