Foreign Office Spokesperson Nafees Zakria on Monday said that India has made more than 90 ceasefire violations in 2016.
“During 2016, India violated ceasefire more than 90 times. This must stop,” he tweeted.
Nafees Zakaria claimed that Pakistan has “never violated the ceasefire agreement”, and that ceasefire violations have always been misreported by Indian media.
The FO spokesperson said India had been the main hurdle to maintaining regional peace, adding that the neighbour kept vitiating the atmosphere through blame games, hostile statements and propaganda in order to malign Pakistan and serve its domestic agenda.
“During the 2014 provincial assembly elections, India violated ceasefire agreement more than 200 times,” Zakaria said.
He added that almost 90 per cent reports of Indian media, in connection with the Line of Control (LoC), were false. “Almost 90pc news being run by Indian media is misleading, baseless and fake,” the spokesperson said.
Pakistan and Indian border troops last exchanged fire across LoC on Sunday in the Bhimber sector.
Earlier, the FO had claimed ceasefire violations by Indian troops were indicative of New Delhi’s nervousness following a “diplomatic offensive” launched by Pakistan to expose human rights violations by Indian troops in held Kashmir.
