NEW DELHI: India on Saturday said ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the LoC and international border were “serious and provocative” and created an environment “not very conducive” for relationship between the two sides.

“Incursions (ceasefire violations) at both the Line of Control and the international border are serious and they are provocative … these incidents are creating an environment which is not very conducive for relationship between the two countries,” defence minister Arun Jaitley said.

The minister was asked at a news conference to comment on the recent spate of ceasefire violations along the LoC and the IB by Pakistan and the killing of a jawan in such an incident earlier . He said there was hope that the “situation would be better” after discussions between the Directors General of Military Operations.

Jaitley said both the Army and the BSF at the LoC and IB respectively are fully alert and responding effectively to every situation emerging there. Against the backdrop of frequent ceasefire violations and Pakistani high commissioner’s meeting with separatist Kashmiri leaders, India had called off the foreign secretary-level talks with it scheduled for August 25.
