NEW YORK – Ambassador Masood Khan – Pakistan's permanent representative to the United Nations – has demanded immediate end to unprovoked firing and shelling by the Indian forces along the Working Boundary and the Line of Control in the divided state of Jammu Kashmir.
In an interview here, he said that the restraint being exercised by Pakistan should not be considered its weakness. He reiterated Pakistan's principled stance to resolve all outstanding issues with India through dialogue. At least 12 people have been killed and 64 others injured in Indian firing along the LoC and the Working Boundary over the past two weeks.
Unprovoked Indian firing has triggered an exodus of people from the villages near the border. Clashes occur regularly along the Line of Control as well as the Working Boundary. However, the latest shelling which began over a week ago, has been unusual in its intensity and frequency.
