MUZAFFARABAD: Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Raja Farooq Haider Khan has appealed to United Nations Secretary General to take serious notice of Indian unprovoked firing at ceasefire line targeting civilians.
In a statement issued in Muzaffarabad on Sunday, AJK PM said India is creating-war like situation on ceasefire lines to divert world attention from its massive human rights violations in the occupied valley.
He said he said over 600,000 people reside close to Line of Control, while Indian troops are using cluster ammunition from across the ceasefire line which is a crime under Cluster Ammunition Convention and international laws.
He strongly condemned Indian firing at different sectors which claims martyrdom of six civilians and injuring eight others. Five belong to district Muzaffarabad and one to district Neelum.
Farooq Haider said Indian cowardice acts are increasing at LoC with each passing day and the increasing tension between two countries posed a serious threat to peace of the region.
AJK PM said Indian troops are using light, heavy weapons and sniper guns to target civilians. He appealed to the international community to hold India accountable for sheer violation of international laws and agreements.
He paid tribute to the valiant armed forces and people who are rendering matchless sacrifices for protecting their motherland from Indian aggression and expressed sympathy with bereaved families.
