India trying to divert global attention from IHK: Prime Minister

 

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has expressed his profound grief and sorrow over the loss of precious human lives in the latest violation of the Line of Control (LoC) by the Indian forces. Paying high tributes to the martyred Pakistani soldiers, the PM said it was extremely unfortunate that Indian forces had continuously violated cease-fire agreement at LoC, in the recent days, according to a statement issued by the PM's Media Wing here on Monday.

"We are fully capable of defending our soil against any aggression. The Indian forces have resorted to escalating tension on LoC only to detract the world's attention from the grave human rights situation in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK)," emphasised the Prime Minister.

He said Indian forces had inflicted unspeakable atrocities against the unarmed and innocent people of IoK. "There is an indigenous uprising against Indian occupation, and the Indian government is failing to read the writing on the wall. By creating tension at LoC, the Indian forces are uselessly trying to divert the attention from the Kashmir issue," added the Prime Minister. Praying to Almighty Allah for blessing the martyred souls with eternal peace, the PM said those who sacrificed their lives in defending the motherland would always be remembered and held in the highest esteem.
