ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Indian border forces committed 243 unprovoked ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary last year, the National Assembly was informed on Monday.
In his written statement during question hour, the minister for foreign affairs said that Indian forces committed 71 ceasefire violations including 30 on the LoC and 32 on the Working Boundary in October 2014.
The minister said that his ministry took several initiatives to focus world attention on the Indian forces hostile acts and urged the need to strengthen mandate of the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan.
The foreign minister told the lower house of the parliament that Pakistan has also called upon the UN to carry out impartial inquiry into the incidents of ceasefire through the UN Observers Group.
Last week, the Foreign Office spokesperson Tasneem Aslam said in a statement in Islamabad that Pakistan sees the escalation of tension by India on the LoC and Working Boundary through continuous unprovoked firing and targeting of civilians, as an attempt to distract our armed forces from its valiant mission against all terrorists.
