“Condemning the incident of Indian forces attacking civilians,” it was stressed that such senseless actions are in direct breach of the Ceasefire Agreement of 2003 and are also counter to all existing humanitarian and competent military standards.
The statement added that with artillery, large-caliber mortars and automatic guns, Indian forces continuously attacked populated areas. It added that “to date, India has committed 2660 ceasefire breaches this year,” resulting in at least 20 martyrdoms and 203 civilian casualties.
“India should not distract attention from the dire human rights crisis in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK) by raising tensions between the LoC and the WB.”
