Addressing public meetings during his visit to border areas of Charwah sector, Shahbaz Sharif said that unprovoked firing by India on unarmed, peaceful and innocent citizens was condemnable.

Shahbaz Sharif said that unprovoked firing by India on Pakistani citizens was intolerable and the blood of the youth, women and elderly people who have sacrificed their lives for the country would never go waste.
