Pakistan summons Indian diplomat to lodge strong protest over ceasefire violations
February 15, 2020

A senior diplomat from the Indian High Commission was summoned to the Foreign Office today to register Pakistan's strong protest on the ceasefire violations by the Indian occupation forces along the Line of Control in Nezapir and Rakhchikri Sectors.

According to Foreign Office Spokesperson Aisha Farooqi, due to indiscriminate and unprovoked firing by Indian occupation forces, a 13 year old innocent girl Abida Jamal, resident of village Fatehpur, sustained serious injuries.

The Indian occupation forces along the LoC and Working Boundary have continuously been targeting civilian populated areas with artillery fire, heavy-caliber mortars, and automatic weapons, which still continues.

The Spokesperson said the deliberate targeting of civilian populated areas is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity, international human rights and humanitarian laws.

She said the ceasefire violations by India are a threat to regional peace and security and may lead to a strategic miscalculation.
