Ceasefire violations: India summons Pakistan Charge d’Affaires

New Delhi: Charge d’Affaires of the Pakistan High Commission was summoned on Saturday and a strong protest was lodged on the death of three civilians, including a child, in an unprovoked ceasefire violation by Pakistani forces in the night of 17 July 2020 in Krishna Ghati Sector in Jammu and Kashmir, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

One child was injured in the incident.

The deceased persons belonged to a single family.

India condemns, in the strongest terms, the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians by Pakistan forces.

"This year alone, 21 Indians have been killed and 94 injured in over 2711 unprovoked ceasefire violations by Pakistani forces. India also protested Pakistan’s continued support to cross border terrorist infiltration into India, including supporting cover fire provided by Pakistani forces," read a government statement.

Pakistan was called upon to adhere to the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding for maintaining peace and tranquility along the Line of Control and the International Boundary.
