In response to media queries on allegations by Pakistan regarding Indian forces targeting a UN vehicle across the LoC, MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said the allegations by Pakistan regarding an incident on December 18 was investigated in detail and found to be factually incorrect and false.

“Our forward troops were aware of the visit of UN Military Observers in the area and did not conduct any firing as alleged,” said Srivastava.

Instead of repeating baseless and fabricated allegations against India to cover up its own failure in ensuring the safety and security of UN personnel in territory under its control, Pakistan should responsibly investigate its lapses. India has conveyed its findings and views on these misrepresentations to the Pakistani side, he added.
