Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan condemned Indian firing on Line of Control (LoC) and paid rich tribute to two Pakistan Army soldiers martyred in Indian ceasefire violations along the LoC. In a statement issued here Thursday, AJK President Sardar Masood Khan said the ceasefire violations by India on LoC was to divert world’s attention from its internal situation where hundreds of thousand people are protesting against inhuman and draconian law enforced by Modi government.
The president said India was desperately targeting civilian population along LoC in an attempt to divert world attention from its internal disharmonious circumstances and was heavily damaging life and property of civilian population near the Line of Control. He expressed condolence with the families of martyred soldiers and paid rich tribute to them for their sacrifice for the country and hoped that nation would courageously defeat Indian aggression.
Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said on Thursday that the special package announced by the cabinet for the families residing along the Line of Control will contribute to their welfare. In a series of tweets, she said besides assistance through ration scheme under Ehsaas Programme, every married woman of 33,498 families would be given five thousand rupees during every three months and payment of this amount will continue for four quarters.
Paying tribute to the valiant people living along the Line of Control, the SAPM said they were facing the enemy shoulder to shoulder with the armed forces for defence of the motherland. “We salute to their sacrifices”, she said. Dr Firdous said targeting innocent citizens along the LoC shows Indian army’s callousness and barbarism. She said sympathizing with the injured people shows sincere feelings of Prime Minister Imran Khan for them. Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar has strongly condemned the ceasefire violations by the Indian forces at the Line of Control (LoC).
