Jammu, January 16: Pakistan is thinking of sending a proposal for a long overdue meeting between Director General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan to find out a way to defuse tensions on Line of Control ( LoC) where tensions have risen quite high with tit-for tat border actions .
A report in Dawn newspaper from Islamabad said on Tuesday : “ Pakistan is considering a proposal for a meeting with India’s military operations chief for lowering of tensions along the Line of Control and the Working Boundary through fresh confidence-building measures.”.
Pakistan calls international border between the two countries as “ working boundary”- a self satisfying phrase for it thinks that the final fate of even the demarcated international border is yet to be decided.
The newspaper said that a “defence ministry official told the Senate defence committee on Monday that a “fresh proposal of DGMOs’ (Director Generals of Military Operations) meeting is being considered”.
The defence panel’s meeting was chaired by Senator Mushahid Hussain, who heads the committee.
Pakistan-India DGMOs have a frequent hotline contact, but they last met four years ago at Wagah. The Wagah meeting took place after a break of 14 years. That meeting was also held for discussing ways to ensure peace along the LoC.
Last such negotiation took place four years ago at Wagah
One of the confidence-building measures being considered for the planned meeting of DGMOs is ‘calibre reduction’ of the arms being used at LoC.
