Ensure safety to Pak firing affected families: Bhalla

Jammu, May 23
Expressing concern over repeated ceasefire violations by Pakistan, Congress leader and former Minister Raman Bhalla on Wednesday said the time has come to silence the Pakistani guns along the LoC and international border. He also criticized the Centre and state government over their response to ceasefire violations and said it was the responsibility of the BJP-led NDA dispensation to find a solution. Lauding the role of BSF in safeguarding the borders, the Congress leader said “the force has done a good job and it has done what was required of it”.
Congress leader reached out to the victims of Pakistani firing along the International Border (IB) said that the Modi government has “no policy” to deal with Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir. Bhalla was replying to questions regarding the alleged failure of the central government's policy to deal with Pakistan and ensure putting an end to the ceasefire violations along the Indo-Pak border that has not spared even children. Bhalla demanded Government to provide free ration, tents, power, drinking water, relief and bedding etc. He urged the officers to remain present in the camps where migrated families of Arnia village have been rehabilitated and come up to the expectations of the people by providing basic amenities to them so as to avoid any inconvenience. Expressing shock over shelling on civilians in Arnia village, Bhalla said that deliberately targeting civilians areas is the latest design of the Pakistan and seems to be aimed at creating fear all along the borders in the State.
