In a high level security meeting at PM House in Islamabad, Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif was briefed about the deteriorating situation at the Line of Control (LoC) by Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, Mr. Sartaj Aziz, including the latest unprovoked Indian firing that led to the Shahadat of seven Pakistani soldiers, in the Bhimber area.

The participants of the meeting attended by General (R) Nasir Khan Janjua NSA, Mr Tariq Fatemi SAPM and other senior government officials were told by Sartaj Aziz that increased frequency of indiscriminate firing and shelling from the Indian side is targeting civilian populated areas. It was revealed that recent incidents of firing have martyred 26 civilians and injured up to 107, including women and children, i.e. in complete violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding and International law.

Expressing profound grief and extending heartfelt condolences to the families of the martyrs, PM Shareef stressed that Pakistan was exercising maximum restraint in the face of Indian violence, which should not be misunderstood as our weakness. He alleged that “Pakistan cannot be bullied by such tactics as we are fully capable of defending our soil against any belligerence”, adding that “it is also a futile attempt of the Indian authorities to divert the world’s attention from the worst kind of atrocities they are committing against defenseless and innocent people of the Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK)”, said the Prime Minister.
