In response to another question on ceasefire violations, Bhamre said India has from time to time condemned ceasefire violations and it wants peace along the international borders.
"The government has, from time to time, strongly condemned incidents of ceasefire violations on part of Pakistan forces and called upon Pakistan, including through diplomatic channels, not to violate the ceasefire understanding of 2003 and to fulfil its commitment to not allow its territory or territories under its control to be used for terrorism against India. India wants to maintain peace and calm along the Line of Control, and remains committed by the tenets of ceasefire understanding of 2003," Bhamre said.
