This came after the two countries negotiated heavy fire in the LoC after violations of the ceasefire by Pakistan on Friday.
The shooting along the LoC resulted in the loss of life on both sides.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEA) said that India also condemned, in the strongest terms, the “deliberate targeting” of innocent civilians by Pakistani forces.
“It is very regrettable that Pakistan has chosen a festive occasion in India to disrupt the peace and perpetrate violence in J&K through coordinated gunfire throughout the LoC,” the MEA said.
India also vigorously protested Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border infiltration into India, including through supporting cover fire by Pakistani forces.
“Pakistan was reminded of its bilateral commitment not to allow any territory under its control to be used for terrorism against India,” he added.
Pakistan on Friday indulged in an intense cross-border bombardment along the LoC in which five members of the security forces and six civilians were killed.
Indian troops retaliated vigorously, killing eight Pakistani soldiers and wounding 12 others, as well as causing extensive damage to their infrastructure, officials and sources said.
Four Indian army personnel, a BSF deputy inspector and six civilians were killed, while four members of the security forces and eight civilians were wounded in the Pakistan shooting during the multiple ceasefire violations between the Gurez and Uri sectors in Jammu and Kashmir. authorities said.
