ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday summoned India's Deputy High Commissioner to protest ceasefire violations by Indian troops along the border which resulted in the death of a civilian.
“Pakistan condemns the unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian occupation forces in Kotkotera Sector on 4 September,” Pakistan’s Foreign Office said in a statement released on Wednesday, adding that the incident had led to the death of Abdur Rauf who was grazing his animals in the area.
Dr Mohammad Faisal, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, urged India to respect the 2003 ceasefire arrangement and investigate the matter.
“The ceasefire violations by India are a threat to regional peace and security and may lead to a strategic miscalculation. India should permit the Unmogip [United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan] to play its mandated role as per the UN Security Council resolutions,” he said.
