Team Jammu chairman, Zorawar Singh Jamwal, also condemned ceasefire violation by Pakistan in Akhnoor sector.

Jamwal said that Government at the Centre seems to have surrendered before the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti as despite the fact that the situation in Kashmir is volatile, the ‘Ramzan ceasefire’ was announced by the Union Home Ministry.
“Pakistan, who celebrates the holy month Ramzan—is not in favour of ceasefire then why we are beating the drum of ‘Ramzan ceasefire’ only to appease a section of politicians for political mileage at the cost of our security personnel,” he said.
Jamwal also condemned the J&K police for registering an FIR against the CRPF personnel, who scared of being lynched, attempted to escape from the site of stone pelting resulting into the death of a civilian. He demanded that FIR against the CRPF personnel must be quashed immediately.
