ISLAMABAD: The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media affairs wing of Pakistan Army, on Thursday dismissed as “false” Indian electronic and social media reports claiming additional deployment of troops along the restive Line of Control (LoC).
“News circulating in Indian electronic and social media claiming additional deployment of Pakistan Army troops along #LOC in GB [Gilgit Baltistan] and alleged use of Skardu Airbase by #China is false, irresponsible and far from truth,” it tweeted.

Relations between Pakistan and India are strained at the moment as the two arch-rival countries lately downgraded their diplomatic ties. Delhi asked Islamabad to reduce the size of its diplomatic staff in India by half and in tit-for-tat response, Pakistan’s Foreign Office summoned the Indian chargé d’ affaires, asking him to reduce the size of Indian High Commission staff by 50.
In a statement earlier today, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Pakistan will continue exposing India at every forum. He said the neighbouring country has been committing the worst human rights violations in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The Minister said the Modi government wants to suppress people and called upon the international community to take notice of India’s acts.
