Srinagar: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will take the final call on to extend or not the Ramadan ceasefire announced by New Delhi. Singh will be in valley on Thursday.
Day ahead of Singh’s visit to review the situation and to take feedback from valley Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti Wednesday blamed militants of trying to sabotage the Ramzan ceasefire.
“Even as we see the ceasefire bringing great relief to the people of J&K, militants seem to be continuing their violent activities & desperately trying to sabotage the process. I only hope that they realise the futility of their actions soon,” Mehbooba tweeted.
Meanwhile Indian Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday, on being asked whether the ceasefire will be extended, said, “It is only announced for Ramazan.”
She however added that it was not her ministry’s role to determine whether the ongoing ceasefire has been successful or not.
