India Summons Senior Pakistan Official, Slams Imran Khan Govt Over ‘Hollow’ Peace Claims

A senior Pakistani official was summoned by the Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday, two days after three Indian soldiers were killed battling infiltrators in Jammu and Kashmir. While it is not known who the official is, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement that it lodged strong protest and further asked the Government of Pakistan to claim the dead bodies of the intruders.
Mincing no words, India called Pakistan’s claims of promoting constructive engagement and desire for peace “hollow” and said that the Imran Khan-led government was complicit in aiding and abetting terrorism. The ministry also slammed Pakistan for carrying out 1,591 incidents of unprovoked ceasefire violations along the LoC and International Border in 2018 so far.
“A senior official in the High Commission for Pakistan in New Delhi was summoned to the Ministry of External Affairs and a demarche was made lodging strong protest at the fatal casualties of Indian soldiers during an attempted cross border infiltration on 21 October 2018 by Pakistani terrorists in Sunderbani Sector in Jammu and Kashmir,” the statement said.
