RAWALPINDI: Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Bajwa visited the Line of Control on Monday, according to Director General Inter-Services Public Relations Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor.
According to a tweet by DG ISPR, the army chief visited the LoC, where he also spoke to the troops deployed on duty.
The COAS said that Pakistan’s quest for peace should not be mistaken as weakness.
“There will never be a compromise on Kashmir whatever the cost. We are capable & fully prepared to thwart any misadventure/aggression for defence of our motherland,” the army chief was quoted as saying by the DG ISPR.
Last week, the DG ISPR clarified that no "major exchange of fire in Kiran or Neelum valley as being propagated by Indian Media" had taken place.

The tweet from Director General ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor came after reports claimed that heavy exchange of fire had been taking place between Pakistan and Indian armed forces at Neelum Valley.
On Dec 19, two civilians were martyred and an equal number were injured as India resorted to unprovoked shelling across the LoC.
