Dr Manmohan Singh, India’s prime minister, made the difficult trip to Siachen glacier and told his troops that it was his intention to change that place from world’s highest battleground to a ‘peace-mountain’ between India and Pakistan. (via Secular-Right)
In response, Jalil Abbas Jilani, the Pakistan’s foreign office spokesman called for India to end its violation of the 1948 Karachi agreement, the 1972 Simla agreement and the 1989 Rajeev Gandhi-Benazir Bhutto agreement; and vacate its aggression and unconditionally withdraw from its positions on the glacier.
