Rajnath Singh to take stand on ceasefire violation by Pakistan

Rajnath Singh is on a two-day tour of Jammu & Kashmir. He will be visiting the state and reviewing the situation and get first-hand feedback from the forces operating at ground zero. His visit will play a major factor in deciding whether the centre will extend the time period of Ramzan unilateral ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir.

Today, Singh will be meeting people living near the border areas here on Friday. He will be travelling to Kupwara, where ceasefire violation from across the border and other terrorist activities has forced some locals to shift their base over the past few weeks.

On Thursday, while addressing a press conference Singh said that the Centre won’t allow any obstacle to come in the way of its mission to ensure lasting peace in Jammu and Kashmir.

“I would like to repeat that no matter how many obstacles come in our (Centre’s) way, we will not be deterred in our aim to bring lasting peace to Kashmir, Said Rajnath.

He praised the army in J&K saying “I have no hesitation in saying that our security forces, including the army and police, have worked with utmost restraint.”
