Advisor to the Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Tuesday expressing his deep concern over the recent ceasefire violations at the Line of Control by Indian security forces.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he said “For seven days now, the Indian security forces have been firing and shelling across the Line of Control and Working Boundary. Yesterday, was Eid day but the Indian forces, in complete disregard of the festive event, carried on the fire and put four innocent lives to death,”
“It is sad that the Indian government has not been able to restrain its forces despite strong diplomatic protest by Pakistan. We call upon Indian government to immediately cease fire and shelling and help us preserve tranquility.”
Azis also urged that the UNMOGIP “be enabled to play its due role in monitoring ceasefire to secure peace and tranquility on the Line of Control and Working Boundary.”
