Foreign delegation visits LoC to get briefing over Indian ceasefire violations

RAWALPINDI: Foreign diplomats and defence attaches of 24 countries posted in Pakistan are on the visit of the Line of Control (LoC) to inspect India’s border violations.

Foreign diplomats and defence attaches of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, South Africa, Palestine, European Union, Bosnia, Azerbaijan, Greece, Australia, Iran, Iraq, UK, Italy, Poland, Germany, France, Egypt, Switzerland, Libya, Afghanistan and other countries are visiting LoC at the Pakistani side.

Director-General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG-ISPR) Major General Iftikhar Babar briefed the visiting delegation about the ceasefire violations from the Indian side.

DG ISPR in his briefing said that India is committing grave rights violations in the occupied Kashmir and behaving aggressively at the LoC to divert attention of the world from the IoK.

Indian violated ceasefire and restored to unprovoked firing across LoC 2333 times in this ongoing year, DG ISPR Major General Babar Iftikhar said.

The visiting delegation will witness the Indian aggression by themselves and will also meet the affectees of the Indian firing.

Pakistan has never denied access of foreign diplomats to the LoC and always welcomed the move, however, India has been denying the access in a bid to hide its false claims.

India has slapped ban over media and foreign diplomats visiting the occupied Kashmir and several arrests have been also made by the Indian authorities over covering the LoC.
