Pakistan has lodged a strong protest with India over its recent ceasefire violations on the line of control.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Dr. Mohammad Faisal summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia at the foreign office in Islamabad (today) Friday and condemned the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian occupation forces along the Line of Control (LoC) in Lipa and Battal Sectors.

Dr Mohammad Faisal urged the Indian side to instruct its forces to respect the ceasefire, in letter and spirit and maintain peace on the LoC and the Working Boundary.

He said that the Indian side should permit UN Military Observer Group to play its mandated role as per the UN Security Council resolutions.

The FO Spokesperson in a statement said that the Indian occupation forces have continuously been violating the 2003 ceasefire arrangement, which needs to be respected. He said the intended targeting of civilians is condemnable, adding that The ceasefire violations by India are a threat to regional peace and security, and may lead to a strategic miscalculation.
