The United Nations (UN) and United States (US) have taken notice of the ‘escalation of violence’ along the Line of Control (LoC), and have called upon India and Pakistan to exercise ‘maximum restraint’ and expressed serious concern over the firing along the LoC.
Sartaj Aziz’s visit to New Delhi could play a role in defusing tensions between Indian and Pakistan.
