NSC expresses concern over repeated Indian violations along LoC

Meeting participants condemned the Indian atrocities against Kashmiris

Pakistan has time and again expressed concerns and protested over the ceasefire violations and targeting of its civilians.

Last month, top civilian and military leaders of the country had expressed serious concerns over repeated violations by India of the ceasefire agreement along the LoC.

The meeting of the National Security Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, had also condemned Indian atrocities against the people of Indian-occupied Kashmir.
