Ufa agreement being undermined, says Pakistan on border firing

NEW DELHI: After another round of ceasefire violations, Pakistan has warned India that the agreement arrived at in Ufa, where the two prime ministers met recently, was being undermined.

Pakistan lodged a protest with India late on Saturday accusing Indian forces of unprovoked shelling. "Pakistan lodges protest at the provocative act, which is against the spirit of the understanding reached at the Ufa meeting, and hopes the Indian government would observe the understanding reached between the two sides in 2003," it said in a statement.

"It is deeply regretted that once again the ceasefire violations by the Indian troops are being committed during the Eid holidays, as was done by them last year, when many innocent civilians were martyred," the statement said.
