While responding to media queries regarding India's statement on ceasefire violations, the spokesperson said that the Pakistani forces are handling the situation with "responsibility".
“Pakistan remains committed to faithful implementation of a ceasefire between Pakistan and India, announced earlier today. Notwithstanding the violations being committed by India in some areas, our forces are handling the situation with responsibility and restraint," the spokesperson said.
"We believe that any issues in the smooth implementation of the ceasefire should be addressed through communication at appropriate levels. The troops on the ground should also exercise restraint," he added.
