ISLAMABAD, September 30: The Foreign Office (FO) on Friday briefed envoys from P5 states of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the situation at the Line of Control (LoC) and the Indian-occupied Kashmir (IoK).
The FO spokesman said the envoys were briefed on fresh violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Indian forces at the LoC. The representatives from the P5 states – United States, Russia, China, United Kingdom and France – were also apprised of Indian atrocities and gross human rights abuses in the occupied Kashmir.
On Thursday, two Pakistani soldiers embraced martyrdom when Indian forces resorted to unprovoked firing across the LoC. The unprovoked firing in Kel and Lipa sectors began at 2:30 AM and continued till 8:00 AM, the ISPR said.
The unprovoked fire was painted as a surgical strike by senior Indian officials, in a move apparently aimed to satisfy the public.
“India conducted a surgical strike at the Line of Control on Thursday to prevent terrorists from attacking Indian soil,” claimed India’s DGMO Lt. Gen. Ranbir Singh at a press conference in New Delhi, according to Indian media.
Pakistan rebuffed the claims with the ISPR saying, “There has been
no surgical strike by India, instead there had been cross border fire initiated and conducted by Indian forces which is an existential phenomenon”. Tensions have soared high between the two nuclear-armed neighbours over Occupied Kashmir and an attack on the Indian army’s brigade headquarters in Uri, which left 18 Indian soldiers dead.-Agencies
