Terming the ongoing situation on the border as “serious”, the Congress and BJP on Monday asked Pakistan to desist from ceasefire violations.
“Whatever Pakistan is doing is certainly a serious matter. And we want to tell Pakistan that indulging in such activities is not good for that country,” BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.
Condemning Pakistan’s actions, former External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said it is despicable that such incidents have occurred on Eid. “There cannot be anything worse than this,” he said.
His party colleague and former J&K Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad wondered why the Modi Government was keeping silent on the violations.
“It is most unfortunate that firing is going on from Pakistan side in Jammu & Kashmir and at this juncture any firing from across the border is very critical. It is most unfortunate that the Government is also keeping silent,” he said.
