The Director General of Police of Jammu and Kashmir, SP Vaid welcomed the ceasefire of India-Pakistan on Saturday and said that Pakistan should learn from India and leave the policy of using terror as a “state policy”.
Former JK DGP told ANI, “This agreement is a welcome development for India and the entire region because we do not want to harm anyone … any neighboring country … Pakistan should learn from India and leave this policy of using terror as a state policy.”
He further said that India has laid a condition that Pakistan needs to stop its acts of terrorism.
He said, “This is a good development … I think India has laid a condition that Pakistan needs to stop its acts of terrorism … We were mediation … Therefore, this agreement was reached. The ceasefire is welcome,” he said.
Meanwhile, BJP leader Ravinder Raina said that the Indian Army has paid Pakistan for every “nefarious act”.
“India has responded to Pakistan’s rebellion in Pahgam. Pakistan has fallen on its knees and is crawling at the feet of America and PM Modi … The whole world is saluting PM Modi … Pakistan is lucky that a ceasefire has been announced. Otherwise, it must have been away from the world map and was crushed to dust.”
