Azad condemns Pak for ceasefire violations

Condemning Pakistan for resorting to unprovoked offensive along the border and LoC in Jammu and Kashmir, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad today said that Indian forces are capable of repulsing in a befitting manner.
Addressing poll rallies at various places in Haryana, Azad also slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government for misleading the people with politically motivated statements aimed at getting votes even as lakhs of people were affected on the border.
"We condemn Pakistan for once again resorting to unprovoked firing on Indian territory since yesterday in Arnia and Poonch. India and its brave forces are capable of thwarting the attempts of aggression being thrust upon them by Pakistani troops," Azad said in a statement here today.

The repeated and unprovoked ceasefire violations targeting our civilian areas showed the cheap attempt of Pakistan government to divert attention from its internal problems which it is unable to overcome, he said.
Addressing meetings at Ferozpur Jhirka, Penagva, Bas Dalla, Hateen and Tavru in Haryana, he slammed the Centre, saying the NDA government was trivialising the sufferings of lakhs of border residents.
The Prime Minister's boastful assurance in a public meeting two days ago, where he claimed to have silenced Pakistani guns, has only proved to be mere rant aimed to secure few votes, he said.
