- Says Aasia Bibi has left Pakistan
ISLAMABAD, May 8: Pakistan on Wednesday summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner Gaurav Ahluwalia to register a protest against unprovoked ceasefire violations by Indian forces along the Line of Control (LoC) on May 2 and May 5.
Dr Mohammad Faisal, director general (SA and SAARC), summoned the Indian diplomat and condemned the unprovoked ceasefire violations.
“Indian forces along the LoC and the Working Boundary are continuously targeting civilian populated areas with heavy weapons. This unprecedented escalation in ceasefire violations by India is continuing from the year 2017 when the Indian forces committed 1,970 ceasefire violations,” read a statement issued by the Foreign Office.
“The deliberate targeting of civilian populated areas is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity, 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.” -Agencies
