Pakistan rejects Indian claim of soldier mutilation

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday strongly rejected the false and baseless media reports regarding the alleged mutilation of an Indian solider on the Line of Control (LoC).

According to a statement of the Foreign Office, these reports were a fabrication and a blatant attempt to malign Pakistan.

“The Pakistan Army, with its professional approach, is not involved in any such unethical and non-professional activity and neither does it support any such action,” the Foreign Office statement said.

However, Pakistan was fully prepared and ready to respond to any misadventure across the LoC, Working Boundary or International Border, the statement added.

The Foreign Office said in fact India was constantly violating the 2003 Ceasefire Understanding, targeting civilians and trying to divert the international attention from its atrocities in the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
