ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday lodged a protest with India over ‘unprovoked’ ceasefire violations across the Line of Control.
Foreign Officer Director General for South Asia and SAARC Dr Mohammad Faisal summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner JP Singh and strongly condemned Indian ceasefire violations on Monday in the Nakyal and Jandrot sectors, resulting in the deaths of three civilians, including a woman, and injuries to four others, including a five-year-old boy.
Foreign office spokesman Nafees Zakaria said the director general urged the Indian side to respect the 2003 ceasefire agreement, investigate continued incidents of ceasefire violations, instruct Indian forces to respect the ceasefire, and stop targeting civilian villages along the LoC. INP
