Srinagar, May 31: Huriyat Conference (M) Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, today while welcoming the Indo-Pak decision to implement 2003 ceasefire agreement said that such a decision will at least provide a huge sigh of relief to the people on both sides of Line of Control (LoC).
Addressing people at Nowshera Masjid in Srinagar, Mirwaiz welcomed the decision of the DGMOs of India and Pakistan for deciding to honor the 2003 ceasefire and follow it in letter and spirit. Mirwaiz said that such a decision will at least provide a huge sigh of relief to the people on both sides of LoC, who otherwise become the first causality of the border hostilities between Indian and Pakistani troops.
He, however, said that the same cannot be said for the people of Kashmir, where the situation continues to be worrisome and grim.
Mirwaiz said vandalizing the properties and houses of militants is becoming a new way of harassment in South Kashmir villages, which is disconcerting, he said.
Mirwaiz said with each passing day, the anger among the people across Kashmir towards the Government and the ruling dispensation is increasing. He said on one hand, government claims that there are positive results to their cessation of hostilities against the people, but on the other hostilities continue in different forms to repress people.
