Killing of civilians across LoC: Pakistan can no longer act as 'inactive observer': PM

Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Indian occupation forces are continually targeting and killing civilians across the Line of Control (LoC) with increasing intensity and frequency and there is an urgent need for the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to insist India to allow United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to return to the IOJK-side of the LoC.

The prime minister expressed these views in tweets on Sunday and said if India continues with its attacks across the LoC then it would be difficult for Pakistan to "remain an inactive observer".

In a series of tweets, the Prime Minister urged the need for United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to intervene and ask India to allow United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to return to Indian-occupied Kashmir.

He said in a tweet, "As Indian occupation forces continue to target & kill civilians across the LoC with increasing intensity & frequency, there is an urgent need for UNSC to insist India to allow UNMOGIP to return to IOJK-side of LoC. We fear an Indian false flag operation."

In another tweet, the Prime Minister said, "I want to make clear to India and the international community that if India continues its military attacks killing civilians across LOC, Pakistan will find it increasingly difficult to remain an inactive observer along the LoC".

The reaction came a day after Pakistan urged a senior Indian diplomat to pay focus on their internal crises rather than feigning concern for minorities elsewhere for narrow political agenda.

The Indian side was conveyed that minorities in Pakistan enjoy full protections and rights under the Constitution. It was emphasized that the legal system of Pakistan is fully capable of protecting the rights of all its citizens.
