| 'India violated truce' |
| 2008-07-27 |
| 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. |
