| [DAWN] MUZAFFARABAD: The Azad Jammu and Kashmire (AJK) Legislative Assembly condemned the "incessant and unprovoked" ceasefire violations by Indian troops across the Line of Control (LoC) this Monday. The assembly called upon the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... (UN) and the international community to pressure India to respect international law and mutual agreements, and to halt the bloodshed along the de facto border. It also urged the Pak government to raise the issue at the relevant international forums as soon as possible. The demands were made through several resolutions tabled by members from both sides of the divide. The session, chaired by deputy speaker Shaheen Kousar Dar, was convened at the requisition of the combined opposition, made up of 12 members of the Pakistain Moslems League-Nawaz (PML-N) and five members of the Moslem Conference (MC). The members said that Indian troops have been targeting civilians, particularly in Nakyal, Madarpur and Neza Pir, and have caused casualties and property damage. |
