NEW YORK: Pakistan has urged the United Nations Security Council to take notice of provocative Indian actions along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary, says a press statement by the Pakistan Mission released on Friday night.

In a letter submitted to the president of the United Nations Vitaly Churkin of the Russian Federation, Pakistan’s UN Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi asked the UNSC to urge India to exercise restraint. She said India should abide by the 2003 Ceasefire Arrangement.

Ambassador Lodhi, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative, gave details of breaches of the ceasefire, and pointed out that there had been a spike in violence over the last couple of months, resulting in several civilian casualties and injuries to many more.

She urged the president to circulate the letter as an official document of the Security Council, the press release said.
