Mehbooba for restraint, restoration of ceasefire 8/26/2014 12:35:11 AM Early Times Report SRINAGAR, Aug 25: Urging restoration of complete peace and ceasefire on the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB) with Pakistan, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti today said the two countries can't ignore the yearning for peace in Jammu and Kashmir without pushing the region into more miseries. Addressing a number of roadside meetings in Dooru segment of her Anantanag parliamentary constituency, she said the PDP wants to make it clear to the national leadership and the government of Pakistan that the people of the state would resist through all democratic means the heightening of tension between the two countries. District president Peer Mohammad Hussain, Senior leader Party's nominated candidate for Doru Syed Farooq Andrabi, Shameema Andrabi and others were also present on this occasion. Mehbooba said while temperatures are raised as a result of war room tactical games the only sufferers are the people of J&K. She said it is the life and property and sense of security of the people of J&K which are in the line of fire and her party would channelize and strongly register the opposition of the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh to war mongering and use of weapons across the LoC and IB. She said every bullet or a mortar shell fired hits only the residents of this state whether they are on this side or the other. Stressing the need for building a strong peace initiative from within the state she said more than a decade back the then Prime Minister, Vajpayee in an impressive display of statesmanship had opened a new chapter in the blood soaked history of India and Pakistan by responding to the urge for peace and dignified resolution during his historic visit to Srinagar. "The people of the state especially those living in border areas had experienced an entirely new found peace and environment of security after the 2003 ceasefire with Pakistan," she said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
