Hope military understanding between India, Pak will have permanent effect: Mehbooba

SRINAGAR:  PDP president Mehbooba Mufti expressed hope on Sunday that the understanding arrived at between India and Pakistan to stop all military actions against each other will have a permanent effect.

“I pray to the almighty that this ceasefire becomes a permanent thing as innocent people lose their lives and homes in case of a conflict,” Mufti, who visited the displaced persons from border villages of Baramulla, told reporters here.

Asked about the reported violations within hours of the military understanding on Saturday, she said it takes time to deescalate the situation when the armies of two countries are eyeball to eyeball. PTI
