ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has expressed his profound grief and sorrow over the loss of precious human lives in the latest violation of the Line of Control (LoC) by the Indian forces.
Last night, seven Pakistani soldiers embraced martyrdom in unprovoked firing of Indian forces across the LoC at Bhimber sector, according to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
In a statement issued on Monday, the prime minister said while paying high tributes to the martyred Pakistani soldiers, that it is extremely unfortunate that Indian forces have continuously violated ceasefire agreement at LoC in the recent days.
“We are fully capable of defending our soil against any aggression. The Indian Forces have resorted to escalating tension on LoC only to detract the world’s attention from the grave human rights situation in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK)”, the prime minister emphasized.
The prime minister said that Indian forces have inflicted unspeakable atrocities against the unarmed and innocent people of IoK.
“There is an indigenous uprising against Indian occupation, and the Indian government is failing to read the writing on the wall. By creating tension at LoC, the Indian forces are uselessly trying to divert the attention from the Kashmir issue”, he said.
Praying to Almighty Allah for blessing the martyred souls with eternal peace, the prime minister said that those who sacrificed their lives in defending the motherland would always be remembered and held in the highest esteem.
The ISPR said that the Pakistani troops effectively targeted the Indian posts while responding to the unprovoked firing.
Source said that the Indian side also suffered major Casualties as a result of Pakistan’s retaliatory fire.
