Mufti welcomes Indo-Pak ceasefire agreement

Srinagar, Sept 15 (IBNS): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Tuesday welcomed the recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan.

The Chief Minister hoped that both the countries will succeed in removing trust deficit to firmly entrench lasting peace in the region.

“Both New Delhi and Islamabad will have to resolve the issues to allow peace to return on borders and the LoC,” Sayeed said

The Chief Minister was speaking after attending an eye-catching Attestation-cum-Passing-Out-Parade of the 12th Batch of 385 trainee recruits, here in central Kashmir.

“I hope that both India and Pakistan will work to strengthen the existing mechanism so that peace holds and prevents regular flare-ups, which play havoc with those residing close to borders and the LoC,” Sayeed said.

"In 2002, when I became Chief Minister of the state for the first time, Kashmir resembled a prison where people felt a sense of incarceration. Our initiatives to bring people out of despondency were just like a breath of fresh air. We will tread the same path this time also,” he said, while highlighting his achievements on development front during his three-year tenure, between 2002 and 2005.

Referring to the exodus of refugees, who are escaping violence in several countries in the Middle East and North Africa, to Europe, the Chief Minister decried those forces who preach the language of violence in the name of religion.

Describing J&K Police as one of the most professional forces in the country, Mufti Sayeed, who also holds the charge of Home Department, said it has taken a lead role in very difficult and trying circumstances and fulfilled its responsibility.

“Over the last six months, the Police have faced certain challenging situations, which they have dealt very admirably,” he added.
