Pakistan not to be silent on LoC violation, says Pervaiz

ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid on Thursday said India was continuously violating the Line of Control (LoC) and Pakistan would not adopt silence on it.

Talking to a private news channel, he said Pakistan’s diplomatic machinery had been directed to inform the international community about the persistent Indian aggression on the LoC. He said India could not stop Pakistan from pleading the Kashmir case at all the international forums by such cowardly acts. He said India was trying to divert the world attention from atrocities being committed by the Indian forces in Held Kashmir.

“The Pakistan Army is fully prepared to strike back in any situation and we will defend our homeland at any cost,” he said and added: “In the past, India had launched attacks on Pakistan and our valiant armed forces reacted in the same way.” He reaffirmed that Pakistan had always been supporting Kashmiris’ just struggle and would continue to do so. He said Pakistan had raised the Kulbhushan Yadav issue at the diplomatic level.
