| Sector-Commander Level Flag Meet: India hopes Pak walks-its-talk, abides ceasefire violation | | |  Early Times Report
Zero Line, Octroi Post, Suchetgarh, Aug 29: Jammu Frontier Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector General (IG) RK Sharma has expressed hope that Pakistan going by its assurance to walk-its-talk may not rake up further mischief on the border following the sector commander level meet and abide by its word.
He however added that all depends upon the unfolding of the events in the future.
"It is left remain to be seen how Pakistan responds after this commander -sector level meet which has given assurance not to fire any Indian post or village in future. We have also assured them that no fire would be initiated from our side, but have warned also simultaneously that any misadventure from their side would be strongly retaliated," said IG R K Sharma.
He further added that Pakistan was told about the sufficient proofs India had of their unprovoked firing and India only came forward for a sector-commander level meet after the Pakistan requested for that.
However, Pakistan again remained in a denial mode, he added and said, "Let's wait and watch how they act now".
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan since July 16 has been continuously violating the ceasefire and shelling the Indian posts and borders, it has been strongly retaliated by the India forces.
BSF, in the meantime had approached many times to their counterparts for a flag meet to end to the border turmoil to which Pakistan had remained nonchalant.
It was only after strong retaliation from India forces that Pakistan had submitted a request for a sector-commander level Flag meet which was held today at Octroi Post Suchetgarh.
The meeting was one of the longest so far that started at 4.30 pm. and concluded at 8.30. p.m.
