The President paid tribute to the martyred driver and the brave citizens living along the Line of Control (LOC). He said such cowardly violations of the ceasefire agreement have exposed the real face of India who targets our children, elderly and womenfolk.

"We will not be intimidated by these shameless and horrendous acts of terror. India must be ready for the consequences." The President said that such acts of killing unarmed combatants are a clear violation of the Geneva Convention and the deafening silence of the International community is deplorable.

He added that the people living along the LOC are our brave citizens who face constant shelling and firing from Indian posts thickly spread across the bordering areas.
