Sartaj Aziz, Pakistan Prime Minister’s Foreign Affairs Advisor.

Pakistan has urged the permanent members of the UN Security Council to play their role to put an end to alleged Indian “escalation and bloodshed” at the Line of Control, Pakistan media reported.

According to a report on Radio Pakistan website, the call was made by Advisor to Pakistan PM on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz in a briefing to the heads of missions of the UNSC permanent members regarding the continued alleged “unprovoked ceasefire violations by the Indian forces at the LoC and the Working Boundary”, in Islamabad Friday afternoon.

The report quoted Sartaj as having said, “The Indian belligerence is a threat to the regional peace and security, and can lead to a strategic miscalculation, which will be disastrous for the region.”

The report said that Sartaj condemned the “reprehensible attack on the civilian bus in the Neelum Valley” on Wednesday in complete violation of the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding and international law.

He said, “The Indian forces also fired upon the ambulances that had come to rescue the injured people from the site of the attack. The deliberate targeting of civilian populated areas is condemnable and deplorable and must be investigated.”

Sartaj, the report said, persistent ceasefire violations by India, was an effort to divert international attention from the continuing “human rights violations in Kashmir”.

The report said Sartaj addressed letters to the Foreign Ministers of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, on the “escalation at the LoC and Indian ceasefire violations”.
