Srinagar -- In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Hurriyat leaders have welcomed the fresh agreement between India and Pakistan to maintain ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC).

The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League (JKPL) Chairman, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza, in a statement issued in Srinagar said, this initiative will bring peace in the region.

He said, his party has always been a strong supporter of the ceasefire along the LoC. 'It is a move in the right direction, which will provide huge relief to the beleaguered people living under constant threat on the LoC,' he added.

Hurriyat leader, Javaid Ahmad Mir, in a statement in Srinagar, welcoming the ceasefire agreement, said that it was high time for peaceful resolution of the lingering Kashmir dispute through meaningful and result-oriented dialogue.

He also urged the Narendra Modi-led fascist Indian government to give up its intransigence, release all illegally detained Hurriyat leaders and activists and take steps for peaceful settlement of the Kashmir dispute.

The Peoples Political Party Chairman, Engineer Hilal Ahmed War, in his statement in Srinagar while appreciating the development, urged the governments of India and Pakistan to implement the agreement in letter and spirit and initiate a composite dialogue for resolution of the lingering Kashmir dispute.

The Jammu and Kashmir Anjuman Sharie Shian spokesman in a statement in Srinagar termed the ceasefire as a big and positive development. He said, the littlest signals of companionship between the two atomic neighbours can have an immense effect on lives of the general people. He said, the people of Kashmir are anticipating a time of progress and it is trusted that Delhi and Islamabad will make favourable condition for discourse and advancement in the territory.
