KARACHI, Oct 16: Chairperson PPP (SB) and chief of the Pakistan National Conference, Ms Ghinwa Bhutto, has vehemently condemned the unprovoked Indian firing on the civilian population along the Line of Control (LOC).

In a statement here on Tuesday she said that India was resorting to such acts at a time when the situation in the region was delicate.

She said the need of the hour was to resolve the disputes through peaceful means and undertake concerted efforts for ridding the people of South East Asia from poverty, disease and ignorance.—APP
