The Pakistani commanders rejected the allegations levelled against them by their Indian counterparts.The Indian commanders had accused their Pakistani counterparts for firing across the border, while the latter had registered their own protest against the Indian violations of the ceasefire at the LoC.The Pakistani army demanded that India must comply with the ceasefire agreement.
Earlier on Monday, the Indian Army chief, General Bikram Singh, had threatened aggressive action against any provocation by the Pakistani army.
“The attack on January 8 was premeditated, a pre-planned activity. Such an operation requires planning, detailed reconnaissance,” General Singh told a news conference in New Delhi.“I expect all my commanders at the Line of Control to be both aggressive and offensive in the face of provocation and fire,” he added.

Pakistan had also proposed a third party probe into the ceasefire violations recently but India had rejected the proposal saying it did not wish to “internationalise” the issue.
