The Pakistan army’s remarks came during a hotline contact between the director-generals of military operations of Pakistan and India this morning to defuse the tension.
“Any misadventure shall be appropriately responded at a place and time of own choosing,” according to a statement issued by the army. It said Pakistan remains fully committed to maintaining peace and tranquillity along the LoC and expects the same from the other side.
The Pakistan army also asked India to provide "actionable evidence" to substantiate its charge claim that a Pakistani special forces team sneaked across the LoC, beheaded two Indian security personnel and mutilated their bodies.
The incident evoked a sharp reaction from India with Defence Minister Arun Jaitley saying such attacks do not even take place during war and that the whole country has full faith in the armed forces.
