Pakistan summons Indian diplomat to lodge protest over ceasefire violations

Islamabad: Pakistan on Saturday summoned a senior Indian embassy official to lodge a strong protest against the ceasefire violations by Indian military along the Line of Control (LoC) in Nezapir and Rakhchikri Sectors.

According to Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqi, due to indiscriminate and unprovoked firing by Indian occupation forces, a 13 year old innocent girl Abida Jamal, resident of village Fatehpur, sustained serious injuries.

The Indian forces along the LoC and Working Boundary have continuously been targeting civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars, and automatic weapons, which still continues.

The Spokesperson said the deliberate targeting of civilian populated areas is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity, international human rights and humanitarian laws.

She said the ceasefire violations by India are a threat to regional peace and security and may lead to a strategic miscalculation.__Radio Pakistan
