Islamabad, Oct 1: The Pakistani media has claimed that the helicopter carrying the ‘Prime Minister’ of Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, Raja Farooq Haider, did not violate Indian airspace.

The ‘prime minister’ of PoK (which is known as Azad Jammu and Kashmir in Pakistan), Raja Farooq Haidar told Geo News that he was not travelling with any gunship helicopters and was flying to offer condolences to an acquaintance. He claimed that civilian helicopters can go up to the zero line, i.e the actual line of control.

According to news reports, Indian Army public relations officer Lieutenant Colonel Devender Anand claimed that a helicopter violated “the air space” in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district at around 12:10 pm on Sunday.
