Pakistan refutes Indian allegations

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Sunday strongly refuted baseless and false Indian allegation that Pakistani troops attacked one of its posts in Indian held Kashmir.

Pakistani troops are not involved in any such action, and no Pakistani soldier has gone across the LoC.

On 27th February, 2000 India through its media alleged that Pakistani troops attacked one of its posts in Indian held Kashmir.

Pakistan strongly refutes these baseless and false allegations, Pakistani troops are not involved in any such action and no soldier has gone across the LoC.

Such allegations seem to be part of an Indian design to justify its own activities of cross LoC terrorism.

The merciless murder of 14 innocent civilians, two days ago on 25 February by the Indian army is a very recent example of such gory activities.

These allegations also manifest of increasing frustration and panic of the Indian government and its army, that stems from their inability to control the freedom movement in Indian held Kashmir.

There are also reports of induction of additional Indian forces in occupied Kashmir in the vicinity of Rajuri ÑÊNausheera area.

In all probability, the recent state sponsored cross LoC terrorist activities of the Indian army and its allegations against Pakistan army are part of Indian design to escalate the situation to meet its own politically motivated ends.

Pakistan has repeatedly reiterated its desire to de-escalate the situation along the LoC.

The Indian government is urged to direct the Indian army to put an end of its terrorist actions in Indian held Kashmirr as well as across the LoC and stop the deliberate killing of innocent civilians.

The UN and the world must also take notice of these grave human rights violations being perpetrated by the Indian army and the persons responsible for such action be tried for crimes against humanity. APP
