Condemning the targeting of innocent civilians by the Indian occupation forces, the SA and SAARC DG Chaudhri underscored that such senseless acts, are in clear violation of the 2003 ceasefire understanding and in complete disregard for international human rights and international norms, and further vitiates the tense atmosphere along the LOC and are a threat to regional peace and security.

He added that by raising tensions along the LOC and the WB, India cannot divert attention from the grave human rights situation in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK).

The SA and SAARC DG Chaudhri called upon the Indian side to respect the 2003 ceasefire understanding; investigate this and other such incidents of deliberate CFVs and maintain peace along the LOC and the WB.

He also urged the Indian side to allow the united nations military observer group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to play its mandated role as per the united nations security council (UNSC) resolutions.
