'India violated truce'
Pakistan accused India of violating the truce on the Line of Control on Saturday and said the "unprovoked" firing by Indian troops had forced it to retaliate.Military spokesman Major-General Athar Abbas said the firing from the Indian side began at about 10 a.m. "They were the first to fire and engaged our forward post at Battal [in Hajira sector]." He said Pakistani troops retaliated. Once the firing ceased, the Pakistani side lodged a protest with the Indian side, and asked for a flag meeting. Posted by: Fred 2008-07-27 |
