The Pakistan Army is fully prepared to give a befitting response to any "misadventure" from across the border, the army chief said on Friday.
"India is trying to divert world's attention from its atrocities against innocent Kashmiris," the media's military wing quoted General Qamar Javed Bajwa as saying during his visit to the Lahore Garrison.
The restive Himalayan region saw a rise in violence last year after the killing of militant leader Burhan Wani in July in a gun battle with security forces.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations, Bajwa was briefed in detail about operational preparedness and other matters at Corps Headquarters and Headquarters Pakistan Rangers Punjab.
Gen Bajwa expressed satisfaction at the operational readiness, and appreciated Pakistan Rangers' response to the "continuing ceasefire violations" along the International Border by Indian troops.
