The Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Asim Bajwa, confirmed to media sources that all communication channels between the Indian and Pakistani militaries are still open so far despite all tensions that have gripped the South Asian neighbors over the disputed Kashmir region.
According to Bajwa, the outstanding issues between the two countries are always better resolved through dialogue. He assured that Director Generals of the Military Operations (DGMOs) from both sides have communicated after escalation in cross-border firing at the Line of Control (LoC). During an exclusive interview with Xinhua news agency, Bajwa stated that “all communication channels including the hotline between the two militaries are open.” He said that Pakistan wants peaceful neighbourly relations with all countries in the region “and that is the policy of the state of Pakistan and that is the policy of the political government and every element of power in the country follows the same policy”.
In his remarks, Bajwa repeated that India’s violation of the ceasefire along the LoC on Sept 29 should be condemned by the international media including the untrue claims to have conducted “surgical strikes” inside Pakistan. He stressed that “we did check everything on ground and we found the claim was absolutely false.” The relationship between the two nuclear armed neighbors deteriorated after an attack on an Indian military camp in Uri inside India-held Kashmir on Sept 18, where around 20 Indian soldiers were killed. Just a short while after the attack, India blamed Pakistan-backed terrorists to be responsible for the attack and initially claimed that weapons recovered from them bore Pakistani markings. However, this assertion was debunked by the Indian media itself, forcing the Indian DGMO to retract the claim.
