Pakistan on Wednesday summoned top Indian diplomat and lodged with him a strong protest over the unprovoked ceasefire violations in Kot Kotera Sector along the Line of Control (LoC) that resulted in loss of a civilian life.
"The Director General (SA & SAARC), Dr Mohammad Faisal summoned the Indian deputy high commissioner and condemned the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian occupation forces in Kot Kotera Sector along the Line of Control on September 4, 2018," Foreign Office said in a statement. It stated that the unprovoked firing resulted in martyrdom of one innocent civilian namely Abdur Rauf who was grazing animals.
It noted that the Indian forces have carried out more than 2,000 ceasefire violations along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary, resulting in the martyrdom of 32 innocent civilians, while injuring 122 others. This unprecedented escalation in ceasefire violations by India has been continuing since year 2017 when the Indian forces committed 1,970 ceasefire violations, it added.
It further stated that the deliberate targeting of civilian population areas is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity and international human rights and humanitarian laws. The ceasefire violations by India are a threat to regional peace and security and may lead to a strategic miscalculation, it warned.
The director general (SA & SAARC) urged the Indian side to respect the 2003 ceasefire arrangement, investigate this and other incidents of ceasefire violations, instruct the Indian forces to respect the ceasefire in letter and spirit and maintain peace on the LoC. He urged that the Indian side should permit UNMOGIP to play its mandated role as per the UN Security Council resolutions.
