Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said the "deliberate and unprovoked" ceasefire violations by India along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary can lead to dangerous escalation if not put to an end. Talking to the United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) Antonio Guterres who called on him sidelines of BOAO Forum for Asia, PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the Indian ceasefire violations were moving towards a dangerous escalation resulting in martyrdom of innocent civilians.
