The Prime Minister was accompanied by Prime Minister Azad Jammu Kashmir Raja Farooq Haider and President AJK Masood Khan. He also met with injured driver of the bus. Pakistan had strongly protested against the attack and Indian Deputy High Commissioner J P Singh was summoned and handed over the demarche on the unprovoked ceasefire violation.
Pakistan said the Indian army "intentionally targeted" the civilian bus, resulting in martyrdom of nine innocent civilians and injuries to nine others. Pakistan pointed that "deliberate targeting" of civilian populated areas, villages, ambulances and civilian transport was deplorable and below human dignity.
