Pakistan briefed the heads of missions of the P5 countries on alleged Indian aggression on the Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary. The Foreign Secretary, Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry, provided details to the ambassadors of China, France, Russia, UK, and USA, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, about unprovoked firing and ceasefire violations by the “Indian occupation forces” in the past two months. Chaudhry expressed grave concern over the increased frequency and duration of indiscriminate firing from the Indian side, deliberate targeting of villages and civilian populated areas, resulting in the death of 26 civilians and injuring 107 others. He also alleged that the Indian side was resorting to such heavy weaponry use after a gap of 13 years. Chaudhry expressed apprehension that Indian actions, which constituted a threat for the maintenance of peace and security, may lead to a “strategic miscalculation.” He said India was also not cooperating with the United Nations Military Observers Group (UNMOGIP). The heads of missions assured that they would convey Pakistan’s concern to their respective capitals.
