India on Friday strongly condemned the continued and unprecedented ceasefire violations by Pakistan to provide cover to terrorists to infiltrate into India even as it asked Islamabad not to ‘hide behind flimsy excuses’ and act against Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed.
“We strongly condemn the continued and unprecedented ceasefire violation by Pakistan, which has caused loss of lives and property,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said at a media briefing here.
“You are aware Pakistan violates the ceasefire as a cover to infiltrate terrorists across the border into India. We, of course, retaliate in such cases and we also take up the matter at the appropriate level with the Pakistani side,” the spokesperson said.

Asked for his reaction to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s statement two days back that there was no case against Saeed ‘Saheb’, the Indian spokesperson pointed out that the Jamat-ud-Dawa chief was a global designated terrorist and Islamabad could not keep its eyes shut over him. “Pakistan has to fulfil its international obligations and demonstrate seriousness in taking action against such global terrorists and not hide behind flimsy excuses,” he added.
The spokesperson said Pakistan has to realise what was in front of the country and act against such people who were being allowed to operate freely from the neighbouring country.
