JAMMU, May 16 (KNO) : Janta Dal United (JDU), today hailed the Government of India for accepting the demand for the ceasefire in Kashmir during Ramadan and termed the decision a big relief for the people of Kashmir who have been bearing the brunt of hostilities and violence for decades. In a statement issued here, JDU State President M A Shaheen said that the central government decision to have ceasefire during the sacred month of Ramadan in Kashmir should be ceased as a vital opportunity by the people who have been yearning for peace and reconciliation for long.
“By virtue of such an important decision, the political groups irrespective of their ideologies and stands can come together and play a constructive role in saving precious lives from getting lost in oblivion. There is a dire need for all the political groups to get Kashmir out of the crises and exhibit assiduousness towards the younger generation of the state," he added and said that this is the time when we can show to the world that we care for our people and want them to live in peace and tranquillity with dignity and honour.
