Each violation must be responded to with full force: Pak army chief

December 02, 2016

Pakistan's newly-appointed army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa today raked up the Kashmir
issue for the first time in his address to soldiers and asked them to respond with "full force" to any ceasefire violations by India along the Line of Control.

"Each violation of any kind must be responded to with full force in the most effective manner," he said during a visit to the 10 Corps Rawalpindi and troops at forward locations along the LoC.

Bajwa was briefed on the security situation along the LoC "in view of recent violations and escalation by Indian troops and Pakistan's own response," the army's media wing Inter-Services Public Relations said in a statement.

He said India's "aggressive posture" aims solely to divert the world's attention away from "atrocities" being committed by Indian troops in Kashmir
