New Delhi:
India has extended its response to the Pahalgam terror attacks, canceled all visas issued to Pakistani citizens including medical visas, and suspended visa services for Pakistanis. Islamabad has tried to reflect the decisions of New Delhi and has taken several measures in the form of diplomatic deadlock.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif today chaired a rare National Security Committee (NSC) meeting and took several decisions, during which the committee said that it would “exercise the right to organize all bilateral agreements with India, but is not limited. Shimla agreement In cold storage. “
The line of control was brought into existence in the Simla Agreement, demarcating the position of the armies of both sides, resulting in the 14-day war from 17 December 1971 and India’s decisive victory. The agreement has been violated by Pakistan in the past.
What is the Shimla Agreement?
On December 16, 1971, over 90,000 Pakistani soldiers Surrender in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), after a decisive battle fought on eastern and western fronts in two weeks.

The Shimla Agreement was a peace treaty signed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Pakistan Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. The purpose of the treaty is “to end the struggle and conflict, which has worked on its relationship and work to promote a friendly and harmonious relationship and establish sustainable peace in the sub-continent.”
The agreement was signed on July 2, 1972 And came into force on 4 August.
After more than 50 years, Pakistan has stated that it would “exercise its right to organize the Shimla Agreement”. However, an agreement related to the Line of Control (LOC) between India and Pakistan is an important section, which runs from Manwar in Karen and Glacier regions in the south, north.
Simla agreement subdivision 1 and 2 of section 4 of the state:
To start the process of establishing sustainable peace, both governments agree:
(1) Indian and Pakistani forces will be withdrawn in their favor to the international border.
Neither side will try to change it unilaterally, unilaterally, unilaterally and legal interpretations. Both sides proceed to avoid the use of danger or force in violation of this line.
(3) Withdrawal will start when this agreement is implemented and will be completed within a period of 30 days.
Claus 5 of the agreement states: “This agreement will be subject to the reservoir support by both countries according to their respective constitutional procedures, and will be effective from the date on which the equipment of perception is exchanged.”
The line of control was established on 17 December 1971 from the ceasefire line in effect.
1949 Karachi Agreement
After independence and entry into India in India, Pakistan -backed tribal attackers attacked the region, leading to a war that lasted for about two years from October 1947 to 1949.
Pakistan’s announcement is important as the Shimla Agreement provides provision known as the Line of Control for the ceasefire line. Should Pakistan suspend the Shimla Agreement, it will put a question on the validity of the Line of Control.
In 1949, military representative India and Pakistan met together for an un—processed ceasefire in Karachi.
The delegation of India and Pakistan authorized the establishment of a ceasefire line.
“As part of the provisions of Part I of the resolution of 13 August 1948, and on 1 January 1949, a ceasefire line is established, as a complement of suspension of enmity in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.”
“The ceasefire line runs from Manwar from Keran and Keran East to Glacier region in the north, north.”
Siachen to Kargil – When Pakistan violates the Shimla Agreement
The Karachi Agreement of 1949 clearly called the demarcation of the ceasefire line. The word of the agreement is as follows: “Dalunang east to east to the ceasefire line General Line Point 15495, Ishiman, Manus, Gangam, Ganderman, Point 13620, Junkar (Point 17628), Marmak, Natsara, Shangrath (Point 17531), Chorbeet La (Point 17531), Chorbeet La (Point 17531), Chorbet La (Point 17531) 17531) will follow.
In the east of Chalaanka, the NJ9842 was the final demarcated point on the ceasefire line, and the agreement states that it will run to glaciers in the north. Pakistan tried to control the Siachen Glacier, an Indian region demonstrated by the Karachi Agreement, and tried to change the provisions of the Shimla Agreement. India launched Operation Meghdoot in 1984, giving full control of the glacier. The Indian Air Force and the Indian Army jointly operate in Siachen’s icy heights, and the operation is the longest military operation in the world.
Nearly a decade later, Pakistan crossed the Line of Control and controlled the heights of 150 sq km km in Kargil, ignoring the National Highway -1. The decision to unilaterally change the LoC caused a cruel conflict, in which India successfully controlled the Pakistan -occupied area.
In 2003, India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire along the Line of Control, four years after the Kargil struggle. From 2003 to 2006, there was not a single bullet fire, D but since 2006, Pakistan has violated the agreement several times.
