Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has strongly condemned the unprovoked Indian firing on the line of control (LoC).

Firdous Awan took to Twitter and said that the Indian belligerence poses threat to the regional peace. She pointed out that India is subjecting Kashmiri population to its tyranny and persecution on both sides of the LoC.

بھارت لائن آف کنٹرول کے دونوں اطراف کشمیریوں کو اپنے ظلم اور بربریت کا نشانہ بنا رہا ہے۔بھارت کے جارحانہ عزائم خطے کے امن کیلئے خطرہ ہیں۔لائن آف کنٹرول پر بھارتی فوج کی بلااشتعال فائرنگ کی شدید مذمت کرتے ہیں۔

The Special Assistant said that those rendering their lives for the defense of the country are our pride and the entire nation pays tributes to them.

وطن کے دفاع کی خاطر قربان ہونے والے شہدا ہمارا فخر ہیں۔پوری قوم انہیں خراج عقیدت پیش کرتی ہے۔

Indian forces have been maintaining a strict clampdown in occupied Kashmir since August 5, after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Hindu nationalist government abolished the Indian constitution’s Article 370, which granted special status to the occupied valley.
