Pakistan today asked India to honour its commitment regarding observance of ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC), a day after it summoned a top Indian diplomat here over the killing of a solider in alleged firing by Indian troops.
"Certainly, there is a disconnect between what is told to us and the ground realities. Let me emphasise that we expect India to honour the commitments given to Pakistan regarding observance of ceasefire," Foreign Office (FO) spokesman Qazi Khalilullah said at the weekly press briefing here.
Indian Deputy High Commissioner J P Singh was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the Director General (South Asia & SAARC) yesterday and a protest was lodged over the latest unprovoked ceasefire violations by India at the LoC.
