Islamabad: Pakistan on Tuesday summoned India’s Deputy High Commissioner over “unprovoked ceasefire violations” by Indian armed forces along the Line of Control (LoC) and international border in Jammu and Kashmir which it said left a civilian dead. The Foreign Office “condemned the unprovoked firing” in Khanjar sector on Monday. An official statement said that the Indian diplomat was told that the Indian forces were continuously targeting civilian-populated areas with heavy weapons. “The deliberate targeting of civilians is indeed deplorable and contrary to human dignity and international human rights and humanitarian laws,” the statement said.
