Kashmir Parties Hail Border Truce Pact as India And Pakistan Agree to Observe Ceasefire

News 18  

The political parties in Jammu and Kashmir have for the first time in the last 18 months — after removing Article 370 and ending the statehood — welcomed the agreement between India and Pakistan to work for truce on the otherwise volatile boundary. Immediately as the news broke, Kashmir mainstream and separatist parties reacted with optimism and hoped that the “new chapter of engagement between India and Pakistan will lead to peace in the sub-continent.” People’s Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti tweeted, “A big & welcome development that India & Pakistan have agreed to a ceasefire along the LoC. Dialogue is the only way forward if both countries want to stop the unending cycle of violence & bloodshed across the borders and J&K.” National Conference supremo Farooq Abdullah too welcomed the agreement between the two military officials to observe ceasefire alongside the border and LoC, saying the measure will instill sustainable peace between the two neighboring countries. “The agreement will go a long way in ushering long lasting peace alongside LoC, and IB,” he said, adding that NC always advocated Indo-Pak peace. A statement of the Hurriyat Conference said just as the joint statement correctly points out “that in the interest of achieving mutually beneficial and sustainable peace along the borders, the two DGMOs agreed to address each other’s core issues and concerns which have propensity to disturb the peace and lead to violence”, likewise, in the interest of mutually beneficial and sustainable peace in the entire region, governments of India and Pakistan need to address the core concern of J&K in keeping with the aspirations of its people, which is the cause of conflict and violence in the region.
