Indian ceasefire violations: Pakistan, Indian DGMOs make hotline contact

RAWALPINDI (92 News) – A special hotline contact was established between Pakistan and Indian DGsMO at 10am on Monday in the backdrop of recent ceasefire violations by Indian Army along the Line of Control and Working Boundary.

According to a press release issued by the ISPR, Pakistani DGMO Maj Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza raised issues of unprovoked firing by Indian troops along LoC/Working Boundary and  continuously targeting of innocent civilians particularly on June 1, 2017 in Battal, Hot Spring and Jandrot Sectors which resulted in martyrdom of innocent civilians.

Maj Gen Sahir Shamshad Mirza told his counterpart that killing of innocent civilians and inadvertent crossers at LoC and labeling them infiltrator is highly unprofessional and unsoldierly.

He asked for actionable evidence regarding alleged infiltration and also to look inwards for correct identification of the issue.

“The Pak Army is committed to maintaining peace and tranquility along LoC/WB. However, any Indian misadventure from across / along LoC in any form shall be responded with full force at the time and place of our choosing with onus of responsibility on Indian aggressive behavior,” he maintained.
