QUETTA: Hundreds of workers of various political parties staged a protest march on Friday against Indian aggression on the Line of Control (LoC) and working boundary and the killing of innocent Kashmiris.

The demonstrators belonging to Jamaatud Dawa, Jamaat-i-Islami, Pakistan Workers Party and other groups carried the national flag, banners and placards inscribed with anti-India slogans.

The protesters condemned the killing of Kashmiris in unprovoked firing from across the LoC and termed the ceasefire violation an act of open terrorism. The speakers insisted that Pakistan should respond with full force.

They said the Indian leadership was continuously conspiring against Pakistan. After the inauguration of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project Indian aggression has intensified, they said.

All four provinces and Azad Kashmir were with the Pakistan Army and they would fight together if India imposed a war against Pakistan, said the speakers.

The participants offered funeral prayers in front of the press club for those killed in Indian shelling.
