ISLAMABAD: The Indian Charge d`affaires was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs here on Wednesday to register Pakistan’s strong protest over ceasefire violations by the Indian occupation forces along side the road of Control (LoC) on 22nd December 2020, leading to one shahadat and high injuries to 3 civilians.
Due to indiscriminate and unprovoked firing by the Indian occupation forces in Hotspring and Jandrot sectors of the LoC on 22th December 2020, 50-year-old Khadeeja, w/o Abdul Rahman, resident of Grid Janubi village, embraced shahadat and 16-year-old Samar, s/o Muhammad Azeem, resident of Grid Janubi village, 18 years old Aneela Kausar d/o Muhammad Pervez resident of Barmoch village, 04 years old Muhammad Seemab s/o Muhammad Ramazan resident of Tanoon village, sustained serious injuries, ministry said during a statement issued here.
The Indian occupation forces along the LoC and therefore the Working Boundary (WB) are continuously targeting civilian populated areas with cannon fire , heavy-caliber mortars, and automatic weapons.
In 2020, the Indian occupation forces have administered 3,012 ceasefire violations so far , leading to 28 Shahadats and high injuries to 253 innocent civilians.
Condemning the deplorable targeting of innocent civilians by the Indian occupation forces, it had been underscored that such senseless acts are in clear violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding, and also are against all established humanitarian norms and professional military conduct.
These egregious violations of law of nations reflected consistent Indian attempts to escalate things along the LoC and were a threat to regional peace and security, the statement said.
It was added that by raising tensions along the LoC and therefore the WB, India cannot divert attention from the grave human rights situation within the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK).
The Indian side was called upon to respect the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding, investigate this and other such incidents of deliberate ceasefire violations and maintain peace along the LoC and therefore the WB.
