DESPARDES — Pakistan’s Foreign Office on Thursday said that global bodies and allies have been alerted about the threats from India.
Spokesperson Aisha Farooqui in her maiden weekly media briefing said that Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had written to UN Secretary General António Guterres and Security Council president Kelly Craft “comprehensively” apprising them about the threats to Pakistan due to intensified ceasefire violations and deployment of Indian troops along the Line of Control.
“We have shared our concerns and fears with international organizations and our partners as well,” she added.
