Pakistan summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner over ceasefire violations, while India protested the “unprovoked” firing by Pakistani troops along the Line of Control (LoC). This is the fifth time in two weeks that the Indian diplomat has been summoned to Islamabad. The firing resulted in the death of three civilians, including a woman, and injuries to four others, including a five-year-old boy. The Pakistan Foreign Office urged India to respect the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding and investigate ceasefire violations. Mr. Singh has also been summoned over ceasefire violations on October 25, 26, 28, and November 1. On October 27, Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry summoned Indian High Commissioner Gautam Bambawale to the Foreign Ministry and conveyed the decision to declare an Indian High Commission official “persona non-grata.”
