Pak has not honoured truce commitments, says BSF ADG
The latest attack comes a week after a sector commanderlevel flag meeting in RS Pura sector
JAMMU: The Border Security Force (BSF) said Pakistan has betrayed India by not honouring its commitment made at the recent DGMOs level talk which was followed by a sector commander level flag meeting earlier this month. The reaction came after four BSF men were killed and three others severely injured in firing by Pakistan Rangers along the international border in Ramgarh sub sector of Samba district late Tuesday night.
“Since the ceasefire was on, that is the time we use to strengthen our defences and the team was going with the defence material. Pak violated the ceasefire and fired at them with flat trajectory weapons followed by mortar fire. That is how the casualties happened,” said BSF Additional Director General (ADG) Kamal Nayan Choubey at the force’s headquarters here after a wreath laying ceremony for the four men.
The ADG said it was very unfortunate that Pakistan has again violated the truce deal. “It is very unfortunate. The ceasefire announcements were made, the decisions were taken. Our decisions are meant to be on and we have honoured them. Pakistan has not and what Pakistan does is its business. How we respond to the betrayal is our job,” he said. The latest attack comes barely a week after a sector commander-level flag meeting at Octroi post in RS Pura sector of Jammu where Brigadier Amjad Hussain of Chenab Rangers had promised to uphold the sanctity of November 2003 Indo-Pak ceasefire agreement in letter and spirit.
