After India’s counter-offensive following the mutilation of a jawan’s body, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called up his Indian counterpart on Wednesday.

India’s Ministry of Defence has put out a statement saying that Pakistan has requested DGMO-level talks.

India’s DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh spoke to his Pakistani counterpart and expressed grief at the civilian causalities in Pakistan due to heavy shelling by India.

He added that retaliatory firing by Indian troops has only been carried out targeting places from where Pakistan has initiated ceasefire violations.

He further raised the issue of infiltration attempts by terrorists from Pakistan’s side and the mutilation of the Indian soldier’s body.

The statement released also said: “Pakistani DGMO was exhorted to exercise strict control on their troops to refrain from any nefarious activities. This would lead to return of normalcy along LoC.” However, any ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts will be appropriately responded to.
