Turkish Ambassador Ihsan Mustafa Yurdakul<\/strong> after his visit expressed his views and said, \u201cI will repeat what the Turkish President said in the UN General Assembly two days ago. The Jammu and Kashmir issue is a very serious issue which should be resolved through negotiations under UN Security Council resolutions.\u201d<\/h3>\n

He added that the Kashmir issue should be resolved according to the wishes of Kashmiris through Pakistan-India talks.\"\"<\/h3>\n

Ambassador of Azerbaijan Mr. Ali Alizade<\/strong> said that we got acquainted with the situation there. The most suffering in the LoCs is the civilians, either it is in #Kashmir<\/a>, #Karabakh<\/a> or in other conflict places.<\/h3>\n

Being faced #ArmenianAggression<\/a> more than 30 years we know consequences well and hope that all these conflicts will be solved by amicable way.<\/h3>\n

European Union Ambassador Androla Kaminara<\/strong> also reviewed the situation during her visit on the LoC. She said, \u201cI not only witnessed the whole situation rather listened to the victims.\u201d<\/h3>\n

South African High Commissioner M Madikiza<\/strong> thanked the ISPR for visit on the LoC. He said, \u201cI always wanted to review the situation on the Line of Control and wanted to examine the impact of ceasefire violations on the LoC areas.\u201d<\/h3>\n

The ambassador noted that he was grateful to meet the victims, had an interaction with them and saw the affected infrastructure, adding, \u201cHopefully, a solution to Kashmir issue will be found in the near future.\u201d<\/h3>\n

Iranian Deputy Ambassador Ali Mohammad Surkhabi<\/strong>, on the occasion, said there were a lot [of atrocities] happening every day in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. \u201cInshallah (By the Will of Allah), Kashmir issue will be resolved soon. We are with the Kashmiri people in every way.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\"\"Ambassador of Saudi Arabia Mr Nawaf Saeed Almalki<\/strong>, Ambassador of Bosnia were also among the visiting diplomats. Attach\u00e9s and representatives from Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the European Union, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, Greece, Australia, Iran, Iraq, the United Kingdom, Poland, Uzbekistan, Germany, Switzerland, France, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan, as well as representatives from the United Nations World Food Program were present during the visit to the LOC, according to an ISPR press release.<\/h3>\n

Armed Forces Spokesman Major General Babar Iftikhar<\/strong> told foreign diplomats that there had been some 2,333 Indian ceasefire violations (CFVs) and unprovoked firing incidents across the Line of Control (LOC) during 2020 leaving 18 civilians martyred, 185 injured.<\/h3>\n

He said the Indian Army was deliberately targeting the civilian population with heavy weapons, which was a violation of international law whereas the Pakistan Army being a professional army only targeted the military posts.<\/h3>\n

Major General Babar said India was firing indiscriminately on the civilian population to increase provocation in an attempt to divert the global attention from the oppression in the Illegally Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).<\/h3>\n

India, he added, was committing grave human rights violations in the IIOJK and had increased ceasefire violations on the LOC since 2014.<\/h3>\n

The ISPR DG noted that India used cluster ammunition on innocent civilians in the Neelum Valley on July 30 and 31. International bodies, especially the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHCR), had highlighted Indian oppression in their various reports.<\/h3>\n

Major General Babar said the Kashmir issue needed to be resolved in accordance with the United Nations resolutions.<\/h3>\n

Pakistan, he said, had always welcomed the visit of the United Nations Military Observer Group for Pakistan and India, international media, and diplomats to any area of the LOC and provided them access to the local population to assess the ground situation themselves.<\/h3>\n

He highlighted that, on the contrary, India had never given access to anyone to visit the LOC. Even the UN military observer group was not allowed by India to visit the IIOJK or across the LOC areas. India had detained journalists and members of the international media for covering the situation in the IIOJK, he added.<\/h3>\n

The diplomats took stock of the violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Indian Army on the Line of Control. The delegation also met the victims affected due to Indian firing.\"\"<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
