Rawalpindi: Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa has asserted that Indian aggression and violations of the Line of Control (LOC) ceasefire agreement shall always get a most befitting response.
 
According to a press release issued by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), COAS visited the LOC and Working Boundary in Khuiratta and Ratta Arayan sectors, where Local Commanders briefed the Army Chief about Indian ceasefire violations specifically targeting civil population across the LoC and Working Boundary.
 
COAS General Bajwa appreciated effective and a responsible response of Pakistani troops to Indian unethical targeting and high morale of troops and civilians. Our commitment to abide by the ceasefire agreement of 2003 should never be misconstrued as response limitation, the COAS was quoted as saying by the ISPR.

General Bajwa also commended the armed forces’ professionalism and effectiveness in dealing with Indian aggression at the LOC, while he also paid visit at Civil Military Hospital Sialkot to civilians injured, the press release further added.
