By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD, AUG. 19. Pakistan has categorically denied the Indian claim of attacking a Pakistani post in Kotli sector.

A spokesman of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISRP) referred to reports in the media that Indian troops had claimed killing of nine soldiers deputed at the Kotli post.

Commenting on the report, the spokesman said ``it is totally a baseless and concocted claim, aimed at indulging in unfounded propaganda. No such incident, whatsoever, took place in the area''.
