Islamabad: Despite the UN’s indifference to its plea for intervention in J&K, Pakistan continues with its diplomatic offensive. Recently, it briefed the entire diplomatic corps in Islamabad about the LoC situation and told them that the credibility of UN is at stake over the J&K issue.
Its foreign office said the “entire diplomatic corps” was invited for a briefing on the situation arising due to the ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC) and the ‘Working Boundary’ (WB) by the Indian armed forces.
“The briefing included a detailed presentation by a senior representative of the military operations directorate to explain the situation on ground, the frequency and intensity of unprovoked and indiscriminate firing and shelling by the Indian security forces since September 30 and details of civilian casualties, injuries and damage to property,” the foreign office said.
The military officials also alleged that efforts towards restoring peace on the LoC and WB through available means of communications were not responded to by the Indian side.
Tariq Fatemi, special assistant to the prime minister, referred to “the positive overtures of PM to the previous and present Indian governments” and said that restoration of peace is of “paramount importance to the region.”
Fatemi underlined that “the credibility of the UN system was at stake if its resolutions remained unimplemented as all member countries look up to this sole international body to address issues relating to peace and stability.”
