The Bharatiya Janata Party, an alliance partner with PDP in the J&K government has rejected the suggestion of unilateral ceasefire in the state, which chief minister Mehbooba Mufti claimed was put forth consensually in an All Party meeting convened here in Srinagar earlier.
The BJP said that this was not the right time to announce ceasefire as armed forces have managed to control the situation and bring back normalcy to the Valley.
“150 or 200 stone pelters or militants cannot dictate policy. We are not even in favor of discussing the suggestion of ceasefire at any level. Kashmir deserves peace and people want to live peacefully,” BJP spokesperson, Arun Gupta told ET.
