Pakistan urges India to de-escalate border tension, India says act against terror first

Pakistan has urged India to de-escalate border tension between security forces of the two countries.

Pakistan requested a military de-escalation along the Line of Control (LoC) through a message sent via diplomatic channels, government sources have told India Today.

The request of de-escalation by Pakistan has come in the wake of increased border skirmishes after the February terror attack in Pulwama that killed over 45 CRPF personnel. The communication for "de-escalation" was sent in mid-April, sources said.
