Pakistan accuses Indian troops of having violated ceasefire:

: Islamabad, Jan 24 : Levelling counter-allegations, Pakistan today accused Indian troops of violating the 14-month-long ceasefire by firing at its forces at Mendhar sector of the Line of Control on January 21.

"The Indian troops fired small arms fire at Pakistani troops positions at Mendhar sector on January 21 and the firing took place from 1500 hrs to 1800 hrs," Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Masood Khan claimed.

"Pakistani troops observed restraint and did not fire back. There was no damage to life or property in the incident," he told reporters here.

This is the first time Pakistan alleged the cease-fire violation by India. Khan did not not provide the reason why it took four days for Pakistan to make its allegation public.

India violated cease fire: FO - Mortars fired from occupied Kashmir

By Arshad Sharif

ISLAMABAD, Jan 24: Pakistan on Monday accused India of violating the 14-month-old cease fire along the Line of Control in the disputed Kashmir region, saying small-arms fire came on Friday from the Indian side.

Foreign office spokesman Masood Khan denied an Indian allegation that Pakistan troops had fired mortars into the Indian-held Kashmir, and said that mortars had been fired by Indian troops.

"There was no cease fire violation from our side, it was the Indians who violated it. But in the Indian media, they have hyped it up. India should investigate what happened," said Mr Khan.

He said: "On the 21st of January, between three pm and six pm, there was a violation from the Indian side." Giving brief details of the firing, Mr Khan said small arms were fired into Pakistan territory in the Mendhar section in Poonch district.
