Pakistan summons Indian HC, lodges protest over LoC violation

ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Thursday summoned the acting Deputy High Commissioner of India S Raguram and lodged protest over a recent cross-border violation by Indian forces.

A man was killed and three others, including a woman, injured in the Nakyal sector of Azad Jammu and Kashmir on June 28 after Indian border forces opened indiscriminate firing across the Line of Control (LoC).

The deceased was identified as 22-year-old Abdul Wahab.

Army said the Pakistani troops gave a ‘befitting’ response to the Indian shelling.

The charge-sheet to the Indian diplomat, who serves as the first secretary in the high commission’s political wing, was presented by the ministry’s South Asia desk head.

In the charge-sheet, the Indian government was strongly urged to halt the continuous cross-border firing and adhere to the 2003 ceasefire agreement across the LoC between the two countries.
