PAKISTAN accused India today of setting back the peace process between the two nuclear-armed rivals with its “unprovoked firings” of the last week.
Flare-ups along the tense border are frequent, but the violence this week, which left more than 20 dead, is the most serious violation to date of the a 2003 ceasefire agreement.
“We say yes to peace, but we will not accept hegemony of any country,” Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Khan said.
He said the National Security Committee decided to write a letter to the United Nations about the “unprovoked Indian firing” which began on Sunday as Muslims in the region were preparing to celebrate the Eid al-Adha holiday.
New Delhi has accused Pakistan of starting this week’s skirmishes, saying it wants to create a distraction to help separatist militants infiltrate into Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Pakistan denied this, saying it only provides moral and diplomatic support to the separatists.
