The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Azad Jammu Kashmir Friday welcomed the agreement between Pakistan and India on strict observance of ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) and other sectors as per 2003 accord.
PTI-AJK Secretary Information Ershad Mahmud told media,” If the ceasefire sustained, it will provide huge relief to the Kashmiris living under constant fear of cross firing along the LoC.”
He said the Kashmir issue deserved urgent attention and political resolve to find a lasting solution according to the aspirations of the people of Jammu & Kashmir. The prevention of human rights violations in occupied Jammu & Kashmir, demilitarization and space for political activities were a few steps that could create a conducive environment for further developments, he added.

According to Kashmir Media Service, 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.
