Pakistan has called upon the international community to hold India accountable for its deadly strikes in Punjab and AJK, terming them “blatant violations” of international laws.

PM Shehbaz convened a meeting of the country’s top security body — the National Security Committee — where it called upon the world to “recognise the gravity of India’s unprovoked illegal actions and to hold it accountable for its blatant violations of international norms and laws”.

The statement asserted: “Pakistan remains committed to peace, with dignity and honour, and reiterates that it shall never allow any violation of its sovereignty, territorial integrity or permit any harm to its proud people.”
