AJK PM condemns Indian attack

ISLAMABAD: AJK premier Sultan Mahmood on Sunday condemned the Indian attack on Pakistan post in the Chamb sector as a cowardly act, asking the world capitals to notice urgently the latest upsurge in Indian aggression.

Sultan told journalists that India has recently increased its violations across the LoC and its recent aggression is a part of its expansionist agenda.

The people of Azad Kashmir, he said, cannot sit as silent spectators in the face of Indian atrocities.

"If the Indian forces persist with their aggression it will be difficult for us to stop the people of Azad Kashmir from practical steps which they have been asked to avoid," he said.

The AJK Premier said, the valiant struggle of Kashmiris has unnerved the Indian rulers and out of sheer frustration New Delhi has now turned to a posture which poses a grave danger to the entire South Asian region.

"The nuclear clash cannot be ruled out completely and it will have adverse effects on world beyond this region as well-so the international community should act urgently to stop India from following its agenda of destruction". APP
