Pakistan calls on India over UN observers’ visit to LoC ISLAMABAD – Pakistan on Friday urged the Indian government to allow the representatives of United Nations Military Observers Group for India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to visit their side of Kashmir across Line of Control to check and prepare independent report on recent violations of ceasefire. While addressing weekly press briefing here, Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said that the UNMOGIP was an independent group of the United Nations and Pakistan had allowed their representatives to visit its side of LoC. She also said that now the India should also allow them to visit their side of the LoC to check the damage caused due to recent violations of ceasefire across LoC. She remarked that Pakistan took the UN observers to its side of the LoC and Working Boundary to show them the damage and pattern of fire carried out by the Indian side. The observers would have compiled a report and sent it to the UN as per practice. She said that the UNMOGIP was a neutral observer and the best option for India was to allow the observers to visit its part of the line of control to assess the situation and damage. The spokesperson said that its investigation and recommendations should be acceptable to India. She said that Pakistan had strongly condemned the recent violation of ceasefire across LoC and issued strong statements in this regard. She said that Adviser on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz issued a statement and expressed his deep concern over the recent escalation of ceasefire violations at the Line of Control and Working Boundary by the Indian security forces.
