Pakistan DGMO told his Indian counterpart that killing of innocent civilians and inadvertent crossers at LoC and labeling them infiltrators is highly unprofessional and unsoldierly.

DGMO Pakistan Army asked for actionable evidence regarding alleged infiltration and also to look inwards for correct identification of the issue.

"Pakistan Army is committed to maintain peace and tranquility along LOC / Working Boundary.

However, any Indian misadventure from across/along LoC in any form shall be responded with full force at the time and place of our choosing with onus of responsibility on Indian aggressive behavior," he said.
