"I strongly condemn the recent unprovoked ceasefire violations on 25-26 October 2016, by the Indian forces at the Working Boundary in Chaprar and Harpal sectors and on the LoC (Line of Control) in Bhimber sector resulting in shahadat of two civilians and injuries to nine civilians. These violations, if continued, will not go unpunished," he added.
"We have exercised maximum restraint; our quest for peace must not be misconstrued as a sign of weakness. We are a peace loving nation; we believe in resolution of all the outstanding issues and disputes through dialogue," the Prime Minister said in a statement issued from the PM's Media Office here.
