Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid has unequivocally condemned the Pakistan army's recent violation of ceasefire on the Kashmir border as a 'grave provocation and deplorable act'. Addressing mediapersons in New Delhi, the Minister said that India's protest had been lodged in no uncertain terms. He also reiterated Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's statement that "business as usual" with Pakistan was not on the cards. Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said there could be no "business as usual" with Pakistan after a clash last week along the line dividing the arch-rivals in Kashmir in which two Indian soldiers were killed and their bodies mutilated.
