SRINAGAR, Oct 25: Jammu and Kashmir State Committee CPI (M) has sought intervention from the leadership of India and Pakistan for making an end to border skirmishes which has created sense of uncertainty on LoC and International Border.
“It is in the best interests of people of the region that the Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan take bold initiatives for cessation of hostilities that have taken a heavy toll on borders so far. We express deep and serious concern over the latest escalation in tension on LoC and International Border.”
“The shelling from the other side of the border must come to an end with an immediate effect. Such an aggressive posturing not only generates fear and panic among the inhabitants of border areas but have the potential to escalate the situation beyond control. The inhabitants living near LoC and International Border have migrated en masse and their condition is said to be pathetic. The Government must take measures to reach out to these families,” the committee said.
The Committee regreted that the increased incidents of ceasefire violations on LoC and International Border has unfortunately provided a room to jingoistic voices and war mongers who are hell bent to deteriorate the fragile relations between the two countries.
