Pakistan slams India over alleged attack on UN observers

by
Pakistan

Pakistan has lodged a strong protest with India over its deliberate targeting of Observers of the UN Military Observers Group in Chirikot Sector of the Line of Control.

The Indian Chargé d’Affaires was summoned to the Foreign Office today (Saturday) to register the protest.

Both the Observers present in the vehicle were safely rescued and evacuated to Rawalakot by the Pakistan Army. However, their vehicle sustained damage.

It was communicated to the Indian side that the brazen act was a flagrant violation of established international norms and represented a complete disregard for principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter.

It was also conveyed that the reprehensible act also represented a new low in the conduct of Indian occupation forces which target not only innocent civilians residing along the Line of Control but United Nations Observers as well.

The Indian side was called upon to desist from such blatant violations of international law; respect the 2003 ceasefire understanding between India and Pakistan, and let the UNMOGIP perform its role mandated by the UN Security Council.

Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri in a statement said the attack was unambiguously premeditated as UN vehicles are clearly recognizable even from long distances due to their distinctive marking and blue flag.

He said the deliberate targeting of a UN vehicle, engaged in discharging the mandate of the UN Security Council, constitutes a grave violation of India’s obligations, under the Council’s resolutions and the UN Charter, which includes the obligation to ensure the safety and security of the UNMOGIP Observers. It appears to be a new coercive and reckless Indian ploy to hinder the observers’ work.

by
Asif Ali Zardari

Former President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari has once appeared in a Pakistani film, turned out to be a lesser-known fact about him.

The former president starred in a Lollywood film when he was a young boy, as per details.

Recently, veteran actor Javed Sheikh, in a YouTube show, To Be Honest, said that he has old ties with the former president.

Javed Sheikh said that Zardari had acted in a Pakistani film, Salgirah as a child star. The movie released in 1969.

The former president played legendary actor Waheed Murad as a child.

Moreover, he married Benazir Bhutto on 18 December 1987. The arranged marriage, done in accordance with Pakistani culture, was initially considered an unlikely match.

The marriage enhanced Bhutto’s political position in a country. Zardari deferred to his wife’s wishes by agreeing to stay out of politics.

In 1988, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq died in a plane crash. A few months later, Bhutto became Pakistan’s first female Prime Minister when her party won 94 of 207 seats contested in the 1988 elections.
