Ahead of talks, Pak troops violate ceasefire along LoC, two killed | | With Foreign Secretary talks just days away, Pakistan troops on Sunday violated the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Machil Sector. Two porters were killed and two Army personnel injured. According
to sources, Pakistani troops opened fire on Indian posts at around 7.30 a.m. without
provocation. This is the second ceasefire violation in a week. The incident also
comes ahead of Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram's visit to Islamabad for the
SAARC Interior Minister's Conference. The trip by Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao
and Chidambaram is being seen by the Pakistan establishment as helping to set
in motion the dialogue process suspended since the 26/11 attacks. Foreign Minister
S.M. Krishna is scheduled to visit Islamabad on July 15 for talks with his Pakistani
counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi. |
