Pakistan on Tuesday arranged a visit of foreign diplomats in Islamabad by helicopter to the site of recent Indian ceasefire violations in Kashmir, in which five civilians were killed and six others injured on the Pakistani side.
According to the foreign office, "after the statement of the Indian Army Chief alleging that recent Indian ceasefire violations were targeting 'launch pads/terrorist camps' on the Pakistani side of the Line of Control (LoC), Pakistan requested the Indian High Commission in Islamabad to share details, including longitudes and latitudes of the alleged location to back the Indian allegations. No response has been received so far from India."
The diplomats that included the Chinese ambassador, were taken to the LoC, including Jura to see what had happened there.
They witnessed the destruction of life and property resulting from the recent ceasefire violations by the Indian side, including the use of heavy artillery. They also visited the injured in the hospital in Muzaffarabad.
The Indian High Commission officials in Islamabad were also invited but they did not show up at the visit.
Pakistani observers held the visit has further exposed the Indian falsehood on the incident and their desperate attempts to divert international attention from the humanitarian crisis in Indian administered Jammu and Kashmir.
The Pakistani office also stated that "Pakistan does not harbor any aggressive designs but our armed forces and people remain ready to defend the country against any acts of aggression."
