ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Director General (SA & SAARC) summoned the Indian deputy high commissioner and condemned the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian occupation forces in Baroh and Tandar Sectors on July 18, resulting in the martyrdom of two civilians, including one woman, in Barho Sector and a man in Tandar Sector, and injuries to six others.

The deliberate targeting of civilians is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity and international human rights and humanitarian laws.

The director general urged the Indian side to respect the 2003 ceasefire arrangement; investigate this and other incidents of ceasefire violations.

He also urged India to instruct the Indian forces to respect the ceasefire, in letter and spirit and maintain peace on the LoC.

The Director General (SA & SAARC) urged that the Indian side should permit UNMOGIP to play its mandated role as per the UN Security Council resolutions.
