ISLAMABAD – Pakistan warns Indian action on eastern borders can disruptpeace efforts on western borders.

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has linked the situation atLine of Control (LoC) with ongoing Afghan peace process saying action bythe Indian army is a “distraction”.

Indian and Pakistani Armies have traded heavy fire along the LoC in thelast few days. The Centre has also asked tourists and Amarnath Yatris toleave Kashmir in light of a fresh terror threat in the Valley.

The action by the Indian army is a distraction. These spoilers can impactpeace.”
